Characteristics of Pilates

Exercise never means sweating all over your face. Today, when aerobic exercise is advocated, gentle and graceful movements are more conducive to the consumption of excess fat, just like Pilates.

Pilates is one of the most popular and fashionable fitness programs at present, and you can feel the full swing of Pilates atmosphere in major fitness centers. Its prosperity today may be attributed to its founder, Joseph Pilates, hence the name Pilates. He is a sickly man. For the sake of health, he gradually integrated the eastern and western health preserving methods, such as yoga and Tai Ji Chuan, with some movements designed by himself, and later gradually formed the Pilates of today.

The biggest feature of Pilates is that it is easy to learn. It not only moves gently, but also exercises the arms, chest and shoulders purposefully, and at the same time enhances the flexibility of the body. Moreover, this sport is not limited by the location of activities, and can be practiced in professional gyms and living rooms.

It's the living room, and you can practice.

Q 1。 When is the best time to practice Pilates? What preparations do you need to make before practice? And what should I pay attention to after practice?

It depends on the purpose of training.

If it is to lose weight and shape, it is recommended to practice in the morning. Because pilates training during this period will improve the metabolism of the whole day, that is, the consumption of this day will be higher than that of the previous day. If you practice at night, the consumption of the whole day does not change, but increases at night, and the overall base is much smaller.

However, if the purpose of exercise is to grow muscles or improve injuries, it is recommended to practice at 2-4 pm, because muscles are at their best at this time. It should be noted that you should not eat before and within 45 minutes after practice, because Pilates has a lot of abdominal exercises, and training after eating will make you uncomfortable.

In addition, if women are in the physiological period, pilates training is not recommended for at least three days. Because Pilates is an exercise that needs to mobilize abdominal muscles.

No matter what effect you want to achieve through Pilates, you need to mobilize your abdominal muscles to practice your back, arms and hips, so for the sake of safety, try to avoid it. Pay attention to the stretching and recovery of the body after practice.

Q2。 People who lack exercise every day want their body lines to be tight and symmetrical and have a healthy sense of muscle. If running or doing equipment training and practicing Pilates make the body feel muscular, which is more suitable for female line aesthetic cultivation?

Research shows that if we can mobilize more muscles to participate in sports, we can better improve the sports effect. At the same time, the uniform and slow movement has a better effect on shaping. So we suggest pilates first, then running or other exercises.

Because Pilates moves slowly, it can mobilize more muscles to participate, which is helpful to improve the wrong body posture, so as to maintain a good and correct posture and consume more calories when running.

Q3。 Many people don't choose to practice Pilates because they don't understand. Can you tell us the most intuitive benefits of practicing Pilates?

Through pilates training, we can improve our body posture and make it more beautiful, especially for women's slender waist and plump hips. For people with chronic injuries, such as people in the office, people with low back and leg pain and shoulder and neck pain, you will see good results after one or two pilates trainings.

Q4。 What are the basic elements for beginners to practice Pilates?

The first is perseverance. Pilates is a new sport, and it is difficult for beginners to find their feelings quickly, but they will improve after several exercises. Second, step by step. If you feel uncomfortable in practice, you can take a rest, adjust your breathing and continue. Don't force yourself to catch up with the progress, which is harmful to your health.

Q5。 Who needs Pilates?

1, office workers who lack exercise, sit in the office all the year round and make their muscles lose strength, which makes them prone to backache. Over time, even their body lines are out of shape. Pilates helps to re-stretch tight muscles, just like doing deep massage, and at the same time practice muscle endurance to evenly distribute body pressure.

2. Many people "sit" on the computer every day, and the "lifebuoy" formed on their waistlines is getting bigger and bigger. Pilates exercises the muscles of the abdomen, side waist, back and buttocks, which can not only remove the "life buoy", but also relieve psychological pressure.

3. If you start to have edema, obesity, constipation, loose skin, hair loss, if you start to have coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, sub-health, overwork, sexual dysfunction, prostate disease, infertility, etc. Please don't hesitate to climb up that bed!
