The benefits of Pilates
Pilates is a complete training technique, from both a health and aesthetic point of view. Pilates, for example, helps to remedy a backache, a muscular injury or to refine a silhouette. A range of exercises will help you learn, or re-learn, how to find an optimal posture through self-growth.
Many people think of Pilates as a gentle gym, when in fact Pilates is a physical activity requiring sustained effort, as the following description shows:
- trains the whole body
- engages the entire musculature
- helps you acquire good posture and a toned body (a healthy, supple and muscular back, shapely legs, firm buttocks, a flat stomach and toned arms).
- improves flexibility and balance
- helps manage stress
- strengthens abdominal muscles for a flat stomach
- strengthens the entire muscular chain
- reduces or eliminates back pain
- protects against repeat injuries
- improves concentration
- helps relieve osteoporosis
- helps prevent sports injuries
- helps manage the menopause period
