Most people have heard of Pilates but most are unsure of exactly what it is. We see it as a girly form of exercise that doesn’t really do very much – this couldn’t be further from the truth. While it may not compare with a brutal workout or run for intensity there are many lessons we can learn from Pilates which can be integrated into our standard exercise routines to make them more effective. So what is Pilates?
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that helps to not only build flexibility, but also strength, endurance, and coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back. So basically it is a deep full body workout, hitting all the important and neglected body parts – great for rebuilding the body after injury and for injury prevention.
