Pilates Workout
Pilates exercise movements was developed with the intention to eliminate physical limitations. Pilates puts no stress on your joints and no wear and tear on your ligaments and cartilage around your joints, especially your knee and shoulder joints. It conditions your muscles in a balanced way and increases your self-awareness by drawing your focus inward. Pilates exercises are designed to strengthen this core by developing pelvic stability and abdominal control. In addition, the exercises improve flexibility and joint mobility, and build strength.
Pilates is a form of exercise which can be performed by just about anyone willing to try. It is typically performed on a mat but can also incorporate the use of pilates exercise balls and other equipment such as a Reformer. Pilates is a wonderful workout and I highly recommend it.
Pilates is an excellent system for knee, back, hip, shoulder and repetitive stress issues. We view the body as a whole to help address postural imbalances, muscle weakness, and joint stability to help clients recover and prevent injuries and to become healthy fit individuals. Pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body’s “core” or “powerhouse” (torso). People who do Pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.
Pilates is based on movement, but after only a few sessions, most people begin to understand that Pilates can be so much more than movement alone. Whether you’re completely out of shape or just looking to improve your developed sports performance, Pilates will give you a more effective body.
