Pilates builds strength, flexibility and endurance for everyday activities.
Pilates exercises focus attention on the spine and core, integrating upper and lower body strength and endurance to promote balanced muscle development, flexibility, and increased range of motion for the joints.
Each exercise focuses on whole movements, not a single muscle, lengthening and expanding the muscles, instead of bunching them up. This therefore allows them to become longer and leaner.
Within our daily life we flex, extend, twist and bend our spine. This is where #Pilates shines. It's the deep support from structural and postural muscles that facilitate proper joint stabilisation, not large, powerful muscles. Attention to core support and full-body fitness, including the breath and the mind, provide a level of integrative fitness that is hard to find elsewhere in a low-impact workout.
A well-balanced Pilates program moves the spine in multiple planes, in a low-impact workout to strengthening, lengthening, and toning your muscles through controlled, repetitive movements.
Practising Pilates on a regular basis provides many overall benefits. Through controlled, progressive movements you can totally reshape and strengthen your body. A good Pilates teacher trains and challenges you to move, mobilise and stabilise properly and with ease in all of your daily activities, raising awareness of your mind-body connection.
The foundations of Pilates can be applied to you and your body wherever you are at currently. New to exercise, fitness fanatic, or somewhere in between, Pilates will support your overall strength, flexibility and mobility.
Pilates is great for your body, mind and overall health and the best thing? Anyone can do it, you don't need to be fit to start.
