Have you ever wanted to try Pilates but you were not exactly sure what it involved and whether it would be suitable for you?
Pilates is a form of exercise which concentrates on strengthening the body with an emphasis on core strength. This helps to improve general fitness and overall well-being.
Similar to Yoga, Pilates concentrates on posture, balance and flexibility. In Pilates the chance of injury is much lower than with other more strenuous forms of exercise.
Pilates also focuses on the mind-body connection. While doing the various exercises your mind needs to be constantly aware of your breathing and the way your body moves.
Because #Pilates can be modified to provide either a gentle strength training program or a challenging workout, most people would have no problem with this form of exercise. It is suitable both for beginners and for people who already #exercise regularly.
If you're a beginner you can start with basic #exercises and then once you've mastered those, you can work on the more advanced moves. It's a good idea when you're just starting out in Pilates to go to Pilates exercise classes or have a private instructor. This way the instructor can make sure that you are doing the exercises correctly to avoid any injury.
As Pilates focuses on core strength, posture and flexibility the health benefits include:
Good posture
Muscle tone
Flat abdominal muscles
Flexibility
Improves your Balance
Reduces stress
Gives you a general sense of well-being
