Fitness Pilates
Time Efficient, Balanced Workout for Busy People
One of the Pilates principles is Precision of Movement. This emphasis on doing the exercises correctly makes Pilates an incredibly efficient workout — you accomplish more in less time. Further, the emphasis on whole body movements means that you are never just working one part of your body. Additionally, Pilates provides both strength and flexibility training.
You can strengthen and stretch every part of your body in as little as one hour!
Pilates and Weight Loss
Studies have shown that the only way to lose weight and keep it off is through adopting permanent healthy lifestyle changes. By committing to a regular exercise program, clients stay motivated to stick to healthy changes in other areas of their lives. Further, people often eat for reasons other than hunger. By reconnecting the mind and the body through Pilates, clients become more in tune with their true nutritional needs. Also, by practicing Pilates, clients change their body composition from fat to muscle, which in turn revs up the metabolism. Finally, better posture makes you taller!
Pilates for Athletes
Used by Professional Athletes for Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention
Many professional athletes and teams are incorporating Pilates into their training and injury rehabilitation programs, including the U.S. Ski teams, the San Francisco 49ers, the Oakland Raiders and Tiger Woods.
Pilates Addresses Sport Specific Skills and Imbalances
Professional athletes often discover Pilates through injury rehabilitation, but then stick with it post-injury for its positive impact on their athletic performance. Pilates’ focus on whole body integration, core stabilization, proper breathing, correct spinal alignment, and efficiency of movement, allows athletes to access each part of the body individually, and become familiar with optimal biomechanics. Additionally, Pilates’ emphasis on symmetry and a multi-planar movement practice, redresses sport specific muscle imbalances inherent in any sport.
