PILATES: Building a Stronger Core
8 April 2020
Pilates is considered one of the very best exercise to stretch and strengthen all muscle groups in the body. It balances muscular strength on both sides of your body. Pilates improves flexibility particularly the abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks and gives total prevention of injuries related to muscle imbalances. Remember a stronger core equals a better back.
The core muscles of the body are the deep muscles of the back, abdomen, and pelvic area. These are the muscles we rely on to support a strong, elastic back, good posture, and efficient movement patterns. When the core is strong, the frame of the body is supported. A regular Pilates workout includes a number of exercises and stretches. Each exercise includes proper breathing techniques and abdominal muscle control. Full concentration is required as it focuses your breath, your body and how they move together. Such to gain maximum benefit, two or three times per week exercise will achieve a perfect shape.
You will realize that all of your muscles are connected once you start focusing on your core. With a stronger core, you will run faster, your focus is on point, and over all the rest of your workouts improve. If you practice Pilates regularly, it will change your body. Having known for creating long, strong muscles and a leaner look, it will improve muscle tone, balances muscular body, supports beautiful posture, and teaches you to move with ease and grace. All of these things will make you look and feel very fit.
