four good reasons to add Pilates into your life
1. Strengthens ALL core muscles. Pilates trains us to identify, isolate and strengthen all core muscles, which encompasses the muscles of our back, pelvis and the abdominals. These muscles are designed to work together to support the skeletal frame. When they work in concert the efficency of movement increases and risk of injury decreases.
2. Identifies and addresses muscular imbalances. Whether it is normal daily life activities, leisure sports or competitive athletics we all tend to favor one side of our bodies while moving. This creates imbalances and movement patterns that, over time, can cause pain and limit our range of motion.
3. Increases strength and flexibility. Pilates will improve and enhance performance in any activity; cycling, running, skiing, yoga, CrossFit, tennis and golf– just to name a few! Pilates focuses on correct muscle recruitment, which helps prevent overuse injuries and aids in rehabilitation.
4. Improves the Mind/Body connection. Joseph Pilates originally called his work "Contrology." He considered this to be a body/mind/spirit approach to movement founded on the integrative effect of the principles of centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow.
