If you walk past a Pilates class you may find students holding a position for a long period of time. The workout may not seem to have the energy and stress of an aerobics class, but do not be deceived, the movement Pilates includes requires concentration and postural alignment. Some of the focal areas of such a class include strengthening the core, and improving balance and posture. Students are also expected to pay keen attention to their breathing. And by focusing on inhalation and exhalation during the exercise students benefit maximally from it.
When you are healthy and strong you can handle anything that life throws at you. Every year thousands of people plan to join a gym, follow a fitness routine, but often find that they do not have the time or energy to do either. If you too have been making plans to get fit, and have not really got around to it, it is time to consider Pilates.
