5 reasons why everyone should try Pilates
Sure you've heard the term Pilates somewhere before, but what exactly is Pilates and how can it help ? How come that this training method has found so many followers in recent years ?
The answers are quite simple to understand:
- Pilates activates the so called “Power House”
- Pilates is suitable for every age group and every fitness level
Pilates exercises are extremely easy on the joints and are performed with slow, flowing movements. The focus of the exercises is always on the same deep-set muscles in the center of your body, whether you are a sports freak or a couch potatoe. As a side effect, your tendons and ligaments become softer as many Pilates movements have the stretching part already built in, making your joints smoother and you feel lighter and more flexible.
- Pilates can be performed at any time at almost any location
