]]>A low-impact workout, Pilates consists of a wide range of controlled movements that flow into one another. Given its diverse range of motion, Pilates not only focuses on conditioning your core but exercising all of your muscles throughout your body, meaning that you can receive all of the fitness benefits that you’re after in one holistic workout session.

The movements incorporated in a Pilates workout are focused on body alignment as well as maximizing your range of motion. By strengthening and balancing out your muscles, Pilates could help you to improve your posture.

]]>With Pilates reformer classes, you won’t be lying around on the mat—most of the moves are done on a Pilates reformer, making it more intense than a regular class. A Pilates reformer is a machine comprised of a carriage that moves along a track. The carriage moves back and forth and is connected to springs with varying resistances, that provide the weight for the exercises.
Tight clothing is best for this type of workout because it allows your instructor to assess your alignment. Form-fitting tops and legging or tight shorts work best. You’ll also want to get a pair of grippy socks to prevent your feet from slipping on the machine and a pair of gloves with grips for when your hands start sweating.
Most reformers have yellow, blue, and red springs with yellow being the lightest resistance, blue is the medium, and red is the heaviest.
While you may want to try different resistances, if you’re a beginner, listen to your instructor for instructions of where to be on the machine.
Your wrists aren’t used in many exercises, but in Pilates, you’ll be balancing on your hands a lot. Over time you’ll build strength there, but if your wrists start to hurt, take a break and shake them out before continuing with the exercise.
As mentioned, Pilates reformer classes are full-body workouts, and you’ll be working muscles you normally wouldn’t be. Your core will be used throughout the whole class to stabilize your torso so your arms and legs can move or as a mobilizer while you shift and rotate your hips.

]]>Pilates, much like yoga and ballet help to stretchen the entire body by lengthening all the major muscle groups evenly. By stretching consistently, you’ll be able to become more flexible as the weeks progress.
Besides gaining multiple bodily benefits through pilates, you can sport stylish activewear too. So you can sweat in style.
Joining any sort of class is always a good idea because you’ll be able to meet people in the same boat as you. Also, working out with a partner always helps you work out harder. Next time you join a pilates class, try saying hi to the person beside you. You won’t regret it.

]]>Pilates has its own tempo; the exercise can be slower of faster than the one before. Rushing through moves is most likely to result in an injury.
It’s very important to choose the proper workout gear. Belts, buckles or zippers can be extremely uncomfortable during your workout. Also, don’t wear loose fitting clothes; they reveal too much when you do the exercises and they can get into your way.
Let us be honest, we are all addicted to our phones, but stop checking your cell during the class. You will lose focus, and won’t pay attention to your instructor. Instead, keep your phone in your locker or your bag.
There are plenty of athletes that make noises during their match or workout. And it can be annoying, right? If you are one of those noise-makers, for the sake of maintaining focus, try keeping it under control.
