Pilates is a functional rehabilitation training system. The whole exercise system is based on anatomy and medicine. It can maintain and improve the posture of the body by exercising the deep muscles of the human body, achieve body balance, enhance the muscle strength and flexibility of the body, strengthen and help heal old injuries and prevent injuries. Emphasize the control of core muscles, strengthen proprioception, and cooperate with correct breathing methods to carry out a coordinated movement of the whole body.
One of the principles of Pilates is to focus on the core work of the body, which will help you align your spine and pelvis, position your shoulders, and have a correct posture. Suitable for people of all ages, especially for office workers who lack exercise and face computers for a long time, and pregnant mothers. Prenatal midwifery and postpartum self-cultivation can achieve the effects of shaping, reducing fat, enhancing sports ability, exercise therapy and correcting posture.
1. The spine becomes healthier and softer.
Pilates can give more care and support to the spine and keep a certain gap between each vertebra. This will not only make your figure look tall, but also enhance your flexibility. The improvement of body flexibility can not only prevent degenerative diseases of the spine (such as disc herniation), but also make your behavior more elegant and decent.
2. Make fitness exercise safe and effective.
Pilates can be combined with any fitness exercise. Combining the principles of Pilates in exercise can reduce the pressure and wear on joints and reduce the burden and impact on the spine. Especially the soft tissues of the knee joint, shoulder joint and spine. )
Different from other fitness methods, you can practice Pilates every day without worrying about putting too much pressure on your joints and muscles. If you exercise three times a week, you will see quick and remarkable results.
3. Prevent osteoporosis and enhance the balance ability of the body.
In the age of no doubt, due to the degeneration of muscle tissue and the decline of nervous system function, the balance ability of the body begins to decline, and it is easy to have bone loss, osteoporosis, falls and fractures. Pilates helps to strengthen the balance and coordination of the body, strengthen the bones and slow down the aging process by strengthening the core stability of the body, low-impact muscle strength and endurance exercises. Pilates requires precise control and coordination, which can activate the nervous system and improve the degeneration of the cranial nerves.
4. Relieve chronic back pain and joint injury.
If you suffer from chronic back pain or osteoarthritis all the year round, you will find that Pilates exercise can effectively relieve joint and muscle pain. Proper exercise is very important for the treatment of arthritis. Pilates can cope with this disease because when practicing Pilates, the muscles of the whole body will get a balanced exercise from deep to superficial. Moreover, through the centralized control of Pilates exercise, we can improve the feeling of the body, improve the arrangement of joints, avoid the compensation of muscle overwork, and reduce joint pressure and wear. This is an effective physical therapy.
5. Conducive to the recovery of postpartum birth injury and physical recovery.
Many parturients are troubled by the ineffable relaxation of pelvic floor muscles and the relaxed abdomen after delivery. If they can persist in practicing Pilates several times in the golden period of three months after delivery, it won't be long before Pilates will have obvious effects on the recovery of birth injuries. During the recovery period of 3 months after delivery, doing some intensive Pilates exercises also has unexpected shaping effects.
7. Improve sports performance and efficiency.
Every pilates movement is around the core of the body from beginning to end. Once the core of the body is strengthened, the transmission of power will be more effective:
Help practitioners who want to lose weight and shape up to achieve fitness goals faster and more effectively.
It is much easier for yoga lovers to do handstands;
Dancers will be more dexterous when performing technical movements;
When playing tennis, badminton, basketball and other sports, the movements are more agile and powerful;
Long-distance runners will be better.
It is not only a training method, but also a way of life.
Being able to have a more upright figure and tighter lines is the visible result of Pilates, which is an exercise for everyone, because it is not only to make our bodies look more stylish, but also to really change the sense of noumenon (self-feeling, judgment and adjustment ability of body posture), so that people can become "coaches" of the body anytime and anywhere in daily life.
