This method of mind-body fitness has been
around for over 80 years. By
incorporating both stretching
and strengthening exercises,
Pilates builds longer and leaner muscles
without adding bulk. Other forms
of exercise often overtrain certain
muscle groups and undertrain
others, resulting in muscle imbalances.
Pilates works on the entire body,
specifically targeting the core
muscles. With an emphasis on
correct
breathing and proper form, anyone
can reap maximum benefits from
every session. Endless options
to vary or modify each exercise
assure success
with any fitness level and prevent
boredom. The results can be felt
immediately!
Exercises
are done on both a mat and on equipment
specifically designed for Pilates.
The resistance on the machines is
provided by springs, which make the
exercises less stressful on the body
and joints than most other forms
of exercise. These machines are able
to provide assistance or resistance,
depending on the exercise, which
lets your program progress as you
improve.
