Young or old, a rehab patient to an elite athlete. It is very rare today to find any aware person from a recently injured to the super-fit who doesn’t incorporate pilates into the fitness routine.
AN EFFECTIVE MIND-BODY WORKOUT…
Pilates focuses on engaging the mind and body together to create exercises that involve the whole person. During exercises… no movement happens without breathing, concentration, control and precision.
- Proper breathing is essential and helps you execute movement with maximum power and efficiency.
- Without concentration, the exercise loses their form and their very purpose
- The quality of movement is valued over quantity of repetition …. As Joseph Pilates often said, “It is better to do 5 reps perfectly than 20 without paying attention.
DEVELOPING A STRONG CORE….
In Pilates, every movement is initiated from the deepest core muscle [Powerhouse as it is could]. The core consists of the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine. Developing a strong, stable core is one of the defining features of this form of exercise.
