I think men are drawn to Pilates because they have this vague notion it will help them with back issues. But they stick with it because it truly makes them feel better.

Pilates has so many applications for everyone. It's a system of total body conditioning that prepares people for functional fitness ... It improves postural problems, strengthens and stabilizes the core, helps prevent injuries as you get older and heightens body awareness.

It's about carrying the principles you learn into your life, 24-7.
