The Top 10 Benefits of Pilates
Works for Any Level of Fitness
Young or old, top athlete or senior citizen, the basic principles of Pilates are adaptable to every fitness level. Pilates practitioners have thousands of exercises available to them so you can obtain a customized workout, tailored to YOUR needs.Increase your Core Strength
When you have a strong “core” (from well developed abdominal, back and pelvic muscles) your entire body is supported. All the rest of your body’s muscles can then work in harmony. Happily, along the way, a nice flat midsection is developed (and who doesn't want that?).Acquire Great Posture
A good core supports alignment in the rest of the body and this is reflected in the highly-visible posture that we display to the world (posture is often the first thing people notice about you). Beautiful posture is so often observed in Pilate’s practitioners.Flexibility is Radically Improved
At any age, flexibility is your protection from injury and also makes day-to-day life much easier. Whether you are putting away groceries or playing a round of golf, a flexible body is more efficient and enjoyable.Stronger, Longer Muscles without Bulkiness
Pilates builds strength without bulking you up. The long and lean muscles built with Pilates have created physiques that are highly admired and immediately recognizable.
You’ll Have More Energy
Being in good condition is the key to having more energy in your daily life. Pilates increases circulation and strength so you will move easily and more freely. It seems like a contradiction but exercise gives you more energy and does not take away from your energy reserves. Remember: Bodies at rest tend to stay at rest while bodies in motion tend to stay in motion.Lose Weight, Develop a Sleek, Lean Appearance
Combined with proper diet and cardio, Pilates can give you that long, sleek appearance that is so desirable. As a full-body toning system, Pilates is highly effective in transforming one’s body.Increased Feeling of Well-Being
The endorphins (the body’s “feel good” hormones) released as a result of a Pilates workout, along with the increased energy and confidence that come from a beautifully functioning body all contribute to an overall increase in your sense of well-being, a crucial component of a happy life.A Strong Mind in a Strong Body
Pilates six principles; control, precision, centering, concentration, breath, and flow all promote a Mind/Body/Spirit connection “ The holy trinity” that leads to harmony in your life as you learn to meld the elements of your spirit, body and mind.Head-to-Toe Fitness is achieved
Your body is only as strong as its weakest link. A Pilates fitness program will strengthen, tone and improve flexibility in every muscle group in your body leaving no weaknesses or imbalances that can invite injury to your body and stress into your life.
