Pilates is a system of training designed to strengthen the whole body
without strain or injury. The exercises are performed in a group class or in private sessions. Pilates can be done lying down on a
mat or a machine fitted with springs, the tension of which can be
varied to suit the user. During Pilates, the emphasis is on relaxed, rhythmic breathing while performing smooth, coordinated movements.
The
movements, based on yoga and other movement techniques, are
particularly good at strengthening the stomach, thigh, and buttock
muscles. The resistances are relatively low so that the exerciser is
more likely to develop a sleek appearance rather than a muscular
physique.
The training system has a very low risk of injury because there are
virtually no impact forces on the joints and bones. Consequently, it
is suitable for people of a wide fitness range.
Here are some of the benefits enjoyed by Pilates practitioners:
- Alleviate pain and discomfort
- Improve your posture
- Reduce your stress
- Tone and stretch all your muscles
- Develop powerful breathing techniques
