Pilates has something to offer everyone, whatever their age or fitness level.
Through Pilates you can improve your core strength, stamina, enhance co-ordination, balance, breathing, posture and concentration as well as improving your ability to relax - essential for beating the stress that is ever-present factor in today's world.
You will get stronger all over but one of the main benefits of Pilates is an increas in 'core strength'. Your core is a collection of important abdominal and back muscles at your centre that support your whole body whether moving or at rest. As these muscles are strengthened your posture will improve and you will find it easier to go about your daily life.
Another distinguishing feature of Pilates is that, to practise it effectively, you must be totally focused and concentrated. This is part of the mind-body connection. Concentrating on the movements of a Pilates sequence can help you still the constant noise of daily demands, acting like meditation to calm you mind and help you see things more clearly. This concentration and attention to alignment are unique to Pilates. They make Pilates a very satisfying form of exercise. |
