September 14, 2016
Pilates is a sport inspired by yoga, dance and gymnastics. It’s a discipline in which you need to work your stabilizing muscles to sheathe your whole body. How can you sculpt a new, firmer silhouette without hurting yourself or overtaxing a muscle group? That’s the secret of this exercise system, and MB Studio Pilates invites you to discover it.
Pilates helps you maintain a healthy lifestyle. In fact, many enthusiasts take these courses on a regular basis to boost their bodies. New enthusiasts quickly realize the importance of this discipline and the direct and rapid change on their body, posture and health.
What is Pilates
The Pilates method was created at the beginning of the last century by Joseph Pilates. This discipline is practised on a mat with accessories or with the help of equipment. It aims to strengthen deep muscles, improve posture and relax joints. The aim of this sport is above all to maintain the body by improving or restoring its physical functions.
Pilates is based on eight principles: concentration, control, center of gravity, breathing, fluidity, precision, sequencing and isolation. These are the eight basic foundations to keep in mind. Pilates is certainly a sport, but above all it’s a concept to be embraced.
To improve posture and body tone, Pilates focuses on the abdominal, gluteal and back muscles. In fact, the more toned these three parts of the body are, the better the health of the practitioner.
Why the Pilate?
Pilates is a discipline that delivers rapid results: the body becomes more supple, stronger and more toned. It’s the perfect way to lose weight without becoming flabby or ill.
Although laborious, the exercises are designed to be gentle, so as not to jar muscles, tendons and joints. So, if an exercise seems painful, it’s because you’re doing it wrong, which is why it’s so important to take your Pilates classes indoors, where an instructor can help, monitor and advise you. MB Studio Pilates offers you classes and programs adapted to your level and desires.
