PILATES
Pilates (pronounced: puh-lah-teez) is a body conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination.
For decades, it's been the exercise of choice for gymnasts and dancers and now widely adopted by athletes in a variety of sports including skiiers, snowboarders, football, rugby and cricket. track athletes, martial artists and other combat sport athletes see it as the perfect complement to the demands of their training also; but it was originally used to rehabilitate bedridden or immobile patients during World War I.
Pilates provides a total body workout through controlled movements, with emphasis on core stability and balancing the muscular structure supporting the joints. This helps to increase workout efficiency and prevent injury.
It provides an ideal complement to cardio, weight training, or other mind-body systems such as yoga and is excellent for sports conditioning by enhancing strength, stability and neuromuscular coordination.
Regular practitioners of Pilates report they have increased muscular endurance and tone, with improvements in balance, flexibility, coordination, posture and alignment, and a feeling of better overall health.
