Before starting the study for the Control Group, the participants were informed about the research and their consent will be obtained. Afterwards, evaluation surveys will be applied. They will be asked not to participate in any regular exercise for 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, re-evaluation surveys will be applied.
After people fill out the evaluation questionnaires, they will watch the video recording of pilates based exercises via the link sent to them via Google Drive, and they will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks. All exercises in the video recording will be explained in written, applied and verbal form by the physiotherapist, and they will be asked to practice. Every week, feedback will be received from people that they have done the exercises via their contact numbers. The average application time of the exercises is 30-40 minutes (with the first 10 minutes of warming up and the last 5 minutes of stretching). Participants will be asked to open the video recording each time they exercise and follow them to do the exercises. At the end of 8 weeks, re-evaluation surveys will be applied.
