PILATES & YOGA

Pull out your gym mat and get ready to do a series of movements that will stabilize and strengthen your core.
 

The exercises are usually done in a specific order, one right after another. The movements have names, like "The 100," Criss-Cross," the "Elephant," and the "Swan."
 

The moves may look simple, but they take a lot of precision and control. It's not like doing a bunch of crunches; there's a strong emphasis on technique. Pilates classes typically take 45 minutes to an hour, but you can do fewer moves in less time.

You’ll get stronger, more sculpted

muscles and gain flexibility. You will also

have better posture and a better sense

of well-being. Plan on doing this workout 

a few days a week, in addition to your

weights training in our Gym. 

Pilates is considered to be the best

exercise for improving back pain and

posture.

It also has a strong mind/body connection,

so you may like it if you enjoy yoga but

need a more intense core workout.

The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility. increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the 'core muscles' of your body) balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body.
