If nothing changes in your routine, where will your body be in 5 years? Discover how Romana's Pilates at LifeSpan Pilates NYC builds "muscular intelligence" to stop the slow erosion of aging and injury.

If you can perform ten repetitions of an exercise, but your form begins to waver by the fourth, the remaining six reps are not just ineffective—they are potentially counter-productive.
