Working out 2, 5 or even 7 times a week needs to be approached as a choice and never as an obligation!
To find a good workout for your entire body, even though the main focus of Pilates is on developing your core strength, is a very delicate mission.
Pilates can activate specific muscle groups and never skipping “leg day” which means, you will work the overdeveloped and underdeveloped muscles giving you that perfect strong body you are looking for.
Pilates also teaches you to have symmetry and coordination, to hold in your navel, square your shoulders and be aware of your posture. This will all come naturally over time as you become more aware of your body.
Sometimes the workout is not really adaptable for your back pain and it’s not always a rehab orientated class, but many people have seen their back pain gradually disappear after practising Pilates.
The same case goes for knees injuries, because Pilates places no pressure on your joints because the training consists of slow and controlled movement, there is minimal impact on your joints. This is naturally ideal for those who cannot (or do not) want to take part in high-impact sports and exercises.
If you planning to add some extra activity on your workout routine, Pilates improves your sports performance and help to identify in many sportsmen and women their body misaligned due to the one-sided nature of certain sports e.g. swinging a tennis racket or golf clubs.
As Pilates helps to balance your body, develop muscular symmetry and align your posture, sportsmen and women find that Pilates can help to reduce the likelihood of injuries.
All these benefits make you more aware of your body, focusing on your breathing, your posture and controlled movement. It will translate into your everyday life as you become more aware of how you are treating your body. This could be from basic things like sitting on your sofa to picking up your shopping bags.
