Benefits of Pilates

Lean Long Muscles
Most conventional workouts tend to create bulky muscle. Why is this? In most workouts, the emphasis is placed on repetition and building strong muscles. This causes already-strong (think: big) muscles to get even stronger, and thus bigger. Pilates does not rely on frequent repetition, and thus no overgrown muscles. Pilates focuses on the whole body, not just on sections of muscles.

Increases the Strength of Stabilizer Muscles
One of the most significant points of the Pilates program is it's ability to increase the strength of stabilizer muscles, that may not commonly be worked out in a standard exercise program.

A Workout That Strengthens Your Whole Body
Pilates not only helps tone your body, but your mind and spirit as well. The smooth, precise and flowing movements of Pilates are designed to make you more mindful of your body. Breath movement is emphasized to put you in touch with how breath moves through your body. Pilates has been demonstrated to reduce stress, anxiety, and helps lift depression.

Prevents You from Future Injuries
Pilates strengthens your body and helps prevent future injuries. Pilates helps to condition the whole body, not just certain muscles. This helps balance the muscle and strength of the body. Since no set of muscles is ever over or under trained, there is less risk for injury. The body becomes more fluid and supple, protecting against injury.
