Who is suitable for Pilates?
1, office workers who lack exercise, sit in the office all the year round and make their muscles lose strength and can't support their bodies, so they are prone to backache, and even their body lines are out of shape over time. 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. Pilates is suitable for exercisers of any age. Even pregnant women can practice under the guidance of a tutor to strengthen their support for the spine. Recently, it has become one of the most popular fitness methods in Hollywood.
3. 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 the pressure in the heart, and is most suitable for office workers.
4. Pilates moves slowly, and every posture should be accompanied by breathing, which is especially suitable for office workers who lack exercise and need to contact the computer for a long time and practice from nine to five. There are also private training courses provided by coaches to correct special injuries, muscle imbalances or other physical problems. Nowadays, many professional athletes also use Pilates to avoid sports injuries.
Is Pilates suitable for daily practice?
Although Pilates is not limited by space, all movements are around the "neutral position" area, which is the lower abdomen of the human body. Although the movement is slow, it is difficult to do seemingly simple movements because of the control of muscles, the coordination of breathing and the change of body feeling. If the action is not in place, it is most likely to cause muscle strain and abdominal pain, which requires the guidance of a regular coach.
So Pilates is best not to practice alone at home.
Its movement speed is relatively peaceful, it is static, 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. Pilates brings comprehensive exercise to your body with very simple equipment. As long as there is a quiet space and a soft carpet, you can practice and achieve the perfect combination of body and mind.
So practicing every day is not harmful to your health.
