What are the Numerous Pilates Benefits?

Page 2: Pilates Benefits

Living a healthy lifestyle is vital to long life especially nowadays when stress has taken over so many of our lives.

Page 3: Pilates Benefits

Eating a balanced diet, not smoking, reducing alcohol intake and being

active are all ways to lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. The

being active portion of this plan however can come in many forms.

Page 4: Pilates Benefits

Swimming, biking, hiking and walking are all great options but pilates can

help you to experience a body transformation that can tone your body as well as bring balance to muscular tissues and promote flexibility and range of motion.

Pilates is an effective way to become aware of your body.

Page 6: Pilates Benefits

Practitioners of pilates can tell you how it follows them in their daily routines.

Page 7: Pilates Benefits

When cooking or even brushing their hair, the practice of pulling in the stomach and pulling the shoulders

down become second nature.

Page 8: Pilates Benefits

This is because so much attention is needed when doing the exercises that change your awareness even outside

of class.

Page 9: Pilates Benefits

Pilates helps you to coordinate the symmetry of your mind and body.

Page 10: Pilates Benefits

You become fully aware of your posture, how you sit and how you

stand and it translates into being able to determine when bad habits can

result into pain and injury.

Page 11: Pilates Benefits

An example is sitting at a workstation with bad posture which can result in a

sharp pain in the neck and maybe along the lower back.

Page 12: Pilates Benefits

If you were to practice pilates regularly, you would be able to relate that experience with the aches and

pains.

Page 13: Pilates Benefits

Another great benefit of pilates is its core strengthening power.

Page 14: Pilates Benefits

Some people confuse a strong core with a flat stomach.

Page 15: Pilates Benefits

While pilates can help you to gain a strong core, a flat stomach is achieved

through weight loss.

Page 16: Pilates Benefits

You have to incorporate other fitness methods to notice weight loss and then pilates can be used to achieve

the toned body, lean muscles and tight abdominals.

Page 17: Pilates Benefits

The core is the foundation of where strength comes from.

Page 18: Pilates Benefits

No matter the movement, the core is the origin from which the extremities

get their cue.

Page 19: Pilates Benefits

It includes the deep internal muscles of the abdomen and back.

Page 20: Pilates Benefits

Instead of only focusing on strengthening sections of our bodies like the arms or legs, we should build the core so we are less prone to injury when we exercise and carry-out our

daily routines.

Page 21: Pilates Benefits

A strong core will support the spine and can control superficial muscles to

assist in movement.

Page 22: Pilates Benefits

Pilates can do this in addition to enhancing flexibility.

Page 23: Pilates Benefits

The importance of flexibility is evident when we are trying to effectively

function in everyday tasks.

Page 24: Pilates Benefits

If you only work on developing huge muscles you won’t gain the balance

and flexibility that is necessary.

Page 25: Pilates Benefits

Body control can be achieved through the use of pilates when your teacher

studies how you move and can tell you what your stumbling blocks are.

Page 26: Pilates Benefits

For instance, maybe you aren’t keeping your shoulders high enough.

Page 27: Pilates Benefits

This can prevent you from reaching total body synergy.

Page 28: Pilates Benefits

Pilates is great for working the entire body in synergy which is the

way we naturally move anyway.
