What are the benefits of Pilates?
Pilates is an innovative system of
mind-body exercise which evolved from the principles of
Joseph Pilates. The benefits of Pilates are numerous and
can benefit both old and young.
Pilates can and will dramatically
transform the way your body looks, feels and performs.
It builds strength without excess
bulk, while creating a sleek, toned body with slender
thighs and a flat abdomen…and after all…who doesn't want
that!
The benefits of Pilates continue as
it teaches body awareness, good posture and easy,
graceful movement. Pilates improves flexibility, agility
and economy of motion. It can even help alleviate back
pain. Top athletes use it for strength, flexibility, and
injury prevention. You can also see how these benefits
of Pilates can help seniors as they age.
Pilates can be a physically active
form of meditation. With the combination of deep
breathing and the complete focus required to perform
each Pilates exercise correctly, it is easy to fall into
a Zen-like peace and soon your body will feel completely
relaxed. You will find your thoughts quieter, your
breathing slower and your soul nurtured.

The benefits of Pilates also consist
of increased strength, muscle tone, energy and
flexibility. Pilates can help lead to a reduction in the
risk of injury and osteopathic problems. Pilates can
also improve strength and enhance you overall body
alignment.
Pilates is also known as a refreshing
mind-body workout. Pilates allows your mind to get in
tune with your body.
In order to achieve the most benefits
from your Pilates workout, you must focus on proper
breathing, as well as correct spinal and pelvic
alignment. As you continue to practice Pilates and as
you become more aware of how your body feels, you will
learn better how to control each Pilates movement.
Proper breathing is essential while
doing Pilates. Breathing techniques will allow you to
maximize your power and efficiency and can also reduce
your stress levels. Pilates allows you to build strength
without "bulking up" - gain long, lean muscles and
flexibility.
Many conventional workouts tend to
build short, bulky muscles - the type most prone to
injury. Pilates elongates and strengthens, improving
muscle elasticity and joint mobility. A body with
balanced strength and flexibility is less likely to be
injured.
So are you convinced yet that there
are countless benefits of Pilates?
The benefits of Pilates are for
people of all ages and fitness levels. More than a
passing exercise trend, Pilates is one exercise that
deserves a second look.
