Pilates
Pilates is a series of about 500 exercises inspired by calisthenics, yoga and ballet. Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion. It improves flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness. Pilates improves both muscular and postural strength.
These Pilates workouts are only 20 minutes long and you can do them on rest days or every day to improve core strength and flexibility and lengthen and sculpt your body.
Pilates is all about improved quality of movement, so make the movements continuous rather than stopping even for a second. Continue the movements as if ten repetitions were one rather than one repetition repeated ten times.
Pilates takes time and practice, as with everything the more you practice the better you are. The more you do the better the result. So do as much as you can and get the benefits. Your sense of wellbeing will be greatly improved.
