Key elements of Pilates, including breathing, focusing, rib cage position, shoulder position, and head and neck positions, will be taught in both groups on the first day.

Different imagery techniques will be used in the exercises, and the exercises will be combined with breathing exercises.

Band Resistances will be increased in biweekly periods. Stretching and posture exercises will be used during the cool-down period. The subjects in pilates group will be informed about the side effects such as shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, and muscle pain.
