So, don't worry that muscles will make you ugly. In fact, both yoga and Pilates will change the muscle mass in your body. It's just that yoga may not focus on this. The advantage of yoga is that it can relieve stress, improve sleep quality and improve muscle toughness and stability. Pilates is a kind of resistance training mainly through its own weight. The functions of Pilates include body posture correction, pathological recovery, rehabilitation training and body shaping. In fact, yoga and Pilates are both good choices for office workers. Of course, it would be better if we could add some aerobic training. Improving cardiopulmonary function is the basis of changing a person's physique. Generally speaking, yoga focuses on internal circulation and muscle endurance, and most of the movements are completed through isotonic contraction of muscles. Pilates pays attention to muscle strength and endurance. For example, people who often sit in the office and face the computer usually have symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain and back discomfort. In fact, these conditions are mainly due to the low muscle strength of your back and rotator cuff muscles and the loss of normal protection of your spine and shoulders, resulting in some muscle strain and lesions. So you can change and improve the weak muscles through some training postures in Pilates. This can effectively change your current problem.
In fact, both yoga and pilates have their own advantages, and of course they also have certain disadvantages. In the fitness circle, we often say that no single sport can change a person's physical quality as a whole, and all single sports have parts that are not involved or relatively weak. Both yoga and pilates have good shaping effects, but if the fat consumption is not as fast as aerobic exercise, even the simplest running will compare the fat reduction. So if you want to make your body healthier, you still have to do it through comprehensive training. Of course, if you don't have that much time, you can also do it through some individual training. As for what kind of exercise to choose to achieve this effect, it still depends on your own preferences.
