Pilates is an exercise system designed to strengthen, lengthen, tone and align the body while eliminating excess tension and strain on the joints. Based on an understanding of the body’s musculoskeletal system, Pilates is an intelligent exercise system that integrates mind and body.
A precise breathing pattern is used during a workout which oxygenates the body, replenishing cells and minimising lactic acid build up in the muscles, reducing sore muscles during and after a workout and creating a renewed sense of inner calm and well being.
Bulky, restrictive muscles become leaner and better defined as the intrinsic (core muscles), important in supporting the skeleton, become engaged; giving a strong centre and back and improving posture, alignment and freedom of movement.
Pilates, a well kept secret for most of the last century and popular amongst gymnasts, dancers and the Hollywood elite, has now been discovered by a wider public – from those who want an accommodating exercise system to those in need of an intense body conditioning programme. Pilates is increasingly recommended by physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and doctors as one of the safest forms of exercise and strength training and its results are as rewarding for men as it is for women.
