Pilates
Pilates is a highly efficient method of body conditioning that focuses on posture, breath control, flexibility, toning and strengthening muscles. Pilates is safe for all ages since its slow, controlled movements strengthen muscle without risk of injury.
The exercises are appropriate whether you are new to exercise or – equally appropriate for professional athletes and dancers who use Pilates to compliment their existing routines to improve their core strength, and in turn their performance.
With practice, you will not only notice a fitter, leaner more supple body, but also because of the nature of the exercises, encouraging a balancing effect on the muscles, this makes it an ideal form of exercise for correcting postural problems, and can be of great benefit for the back and connected muscle areas. Pilates is an enjoyable form of exercise, that once the fundamentals have been mastered, can be carried out daily in the comfort of your own home.
