First, you can't wear socks. When practicing Pilates, clothes are also needed. Generally, practitioners need to take off their shoes and socks and wear tight sportswear. It is best to choose yoga clothes. When practicing Pilates, basically a series of movements need to be completed on the yoga mat. Wearing socks is slippery and easy to get hurt, so don't wear socks when exercising.
Second, don't eat for two hours before and after exercise. Although the intensity of Pilates exercise is not great, many movements require the strength of abdominal muscles and the stability of the body. Therefore, if you eat food before exercise, if you keep pressing your abdominal muscles, you are likely to have stomach discomfort, and in severe cases, gastroptosis will occur.
After exercise, the physical consumption is still relatively large. At this time, if you eat right away, your body's metabolic rate will increase, so your stomach's absorption will also increase. At this time, the part you eat is likely to offset the calories you consumed before, and it is easy to waste the fruits of your exercise. Therefore, it is best to wait for two hours of exercise before eating.
Third, you should control your breathing during exercise. When doing pilates, we must pay attention to the standard of action. Although Pilates is not intense or even slow, it consumes a lot of calories, so it is necessary to cooperate with breathing during the practice. Don't breathe too fast, try to keep pace with the movements, and don't hold your breath. When switching actions, adjust the speed of exhalation and inhalation.
Try to keep your muscles tense during exercise. Every movement needs to stay for a period of time, keep the standard of the movement and try to be continuous, so as to better play the role of exercise. And can well regulate metabolism in the body.
