Benefits of Pilates
Pilates
is simply another form of exercise. Like other forms, it takes time
to master.
With regular practice, Pilates can enhance many aspects of your life.
It strengthens muscles -- especially core muscles of the
abdomen and back -- and increases flexibility.
People often notice performance improvements in their
favourite activities such as walking, running, swimming, golf, cycling,
skiing,
and kayaking.
Pilates improves general fitness and health. Everyone can benefit from increased range of motion. Circulation can also improve as a result of a regular Pilates program.
Pilates improves posture and body alignment, and helps to maintain strength and flexibility of the spine.
Pilates is a non-impact workout that assists those recovering from injury by maintaining mobility and strength. Pilates is very effective in rehabilitation and pain management.
Pilates can also improve balance, coordination and enhance overall body awareness.
