Pilates Pure N Simple

What is Pilates?

Pilate’s movements are only done three to six times. When the moves are executed correctly, you don’t need to do more! You’ll be amazed at how quickly your body will change and Pilates is the only exercises you can actually do laying down!

Learning to do Pilates correctly generally requires individual attention. In the beginning, your body is learning a lot of new information and the instructor may need to touch specific muscles to make you aware of what you are attempting to do with each move.

Why Pilates?

Pilates is about whole body health. The spine innervates the body and spinal health is a primary focus. Pilates stretches the spine rather than compressing it in such activities as aerobics, step work, running and walking. Pilates strengthens the abdominals which then support the spine to prevent and/or ease back pain. Learning to work the pelvic floor has benefits that, well, you’ll just have to ask about. Pilates lifts, tightens and strengthens those places you once thought were hopeless.
