How Does Pilates Work?
Pilates exercises target the key postural muscles building strength from within creating a girdle of strength around the torso. Joseph Pilates called this the Powerhouse. The core centre of the body (the lower back and abdomen) are supported and strengthened, enabling the rest of the body to move freely.
Pilates exercises work on the body in a very effective way. Rather than isolating particular muscle groups they work the body as a whole, equipping you to perform everyday tasks more efficiently, such as carrying shopping, gardening and moving furniture.
Pilates exercises focuses on fewer repetitions and more precise movements using correct control and form. Pilates creates a strong, lean, balanced body which helps reduce the risk of injury and helps to eliminate nagging aches and pains. Pilates exercises will also enable you to become more supple and flexible.
It is an exercise system that is open to all, because anyone of any age and fitness level can do Pilates.
