Pilates was created by Joseph of Germany. Pilates is an exercise and fitness system founded and popularized by 1926. Static fitness exercises. Westerners always pay attention to the training of body muscles and physiological functions, such as waist, abdomen, back, chest and buttocks, while orientals pay attention to the training of breathing and concentration, such as yoga and Tai Chi. Pilates absorbs the eastern and western cultures and is compatible with the related research results of physiology and psychology. At first, Pilates was only used in two major fields, namely, muscle training of professional dance groups and the recovery of physical function and muscle strength of patients after rehabilitation in medical rehabilitation institutions.

With the development of Pilates in the field of fitness in China, most clubs now have Pilates courses in aerobics classes. However, many people do not fully understand the possible role of Pilates. Today, let's learn about the functions of the Pilates course:

1, Science:

It absorbs the essence of ancient yoga and Tai Chi, and organically combines breathing, meditation, flexibility, balance and rhythm to stretch the spine and lengthen the ligaments.

2. Security:

Its movement speed is relatively peaceful, it is in a static state, and it will hardly cause damage to joints and muscles. At the same time, the combination of static and dynamic movements makes the body nervous and relaxed, including the change of pace and meditation, which makes it easier for exercisers to control their own bodies and reduce the negative effects caused by posture errors.

3, comprehensive and effective:

It uses dumbbells, gym bars and mats for physical training. Although it is stable, it doesn't look hot, but it is comprehensive. There are exercises for arms, chest and shoulders, strength exercises for waist, abdomen and back, and stretching exercises to enhance flexibility. All parts can be fully tightened and stretched, so it is comprehensive and effective.

4, easy to learn:

Compared with yoga, the movements are simpler. It has no complicated movements and is simple and easy to master.

5. Combination of challenge and entertainment:

Because of the slow movement, coupled with the coordination of muscle control and breathing, it is difficult to do seemingly simple movements. Pilates practice environment, combined with soothing and beautiful music, can make people fully relax, and the movement conversion is smooth and natural. Trainers are very comfortable in the process of practice and will not feel overworked.

6. Randomness:

You can practice at home, regardless of the venue. Generally speaking, Pilates is an exercise to strengthen our core competence through breathing. Our core parts include: transverse abdominal muscle, vertical spinous muscle, gluteus maximus muscle, iliopsoas muscle and other muscle groups. The strength of these parts is directly related to our sports performance. Therefore, we can improve the expressive force of basic sports by practicing Pilates without sports foundation, and lay the foundation for practicing advanced training movements in the future. Therefore, it is suggested that friends who have just started sports or whose core parts are weak should strengthen the training of Pilates courses. In particular, the alternate training of female yoga and pilates can achieve the effect of shaping a perfect body shape.
