It's a system of exercise invented by a German-Greek physiotherapist called Joseph Pilates. It places emphasis on the strength and well-being of the back and stomach (ie, the Core). It's also a very popular way to develop an ultra-flat beach-worthy belly without hurting your body. A lot of professional athletes or dancers are big on Pilates.

Pilates in a form of exercise that focuse on the core of your body. Meaning the box, the area from below your chest to your pelvic area and on either side. I learned most from pilates to tighten this area and work it even when I'm not working out, it does amazing things to your abs, stomach ect. over time. Also, Pilates teaches you to focus on your breathing and to breath correctly. After I truly learned to breathe the way they teach you I could exercise five times longer, swim a lot farther, etc. It's a great addition to any program not to mention it teaches you lifelong lessons that will help in a multitude of situations.

Pilates was developed for injured dancers who needed exercises to keep them fit while they recovered, but not cause more injury.
The exercises are very disciplined in how you breath and move each muscle set. They are great for women because you develop long, lean muscle instead of the bulky muscle that body builders get.
