Pilates spine twist exercises help to increase the range of motion in the upper body by training the trunk to spiral on the central vertical axis. This range of motion is important in all sports, especially golf and tennis. The pilates spine twist exercises also train good posture and are an opportunity to use the breath in the way that Joseph Pilates encouraged: taking in a lot of fresh air and using movement to expel old air forcefully. In the spine twist exercises, the twisting motion helps you feel as if you are literally wringing out the old air.
