Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Because it is a mind-body approach, Pilates yields both physical and psychological health dividends, including: improved flexibility and joint mobility; stronger abdominal core muscles; relief of lower back pain comparable with massage therapy and exercise; improved balance and coordination; reduced risk of heart disease; stronger bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis; increased cardiorespiratory capacity, but with less risk of injury than aerobic exercise because of low intensity; improved body image and self-esteem; improved concentration, mindfulness, and mood; greater energy and less fatigue; and higher quality of life and life satisfaction.
