With 2020 now upon us, here at Iso Fit Hong Kong we are sure to see some new faces in our Pilates classes. People striving to improve their health, flexibility, lose weight and otherwise improve their fitness level. Pilates is no longer an elite exercise program only for dancers and celebrities- it is recognized by personal trainers, physical therapists, and other health professionals as an extremely effective form of exercise for people of all fitness levels. Here are 4 reasons why Pilates should be a priority for you in the New Year.
1. Mindfulness
When doing Pilates your mind is engaged throughout a specific program of exercises, rather than wandering aimlessly during a workout of repetitive activity. By focusing and concentrating on your body’s movements, you are performing a complete mental and physical workout. In today’s hectic world, we cannot overstate the importance of being able to train your mind to be in the moment.
2. Core activation
Pilates engages the core abdominal muscles, emphasizing the strengthening of the ‘powerhouse’ region – abdomen, back, lower back, inner/outer thighs and buttocks. Strength is achieved through stabilization with a focus on movement and functionality. Pilates concentrates on lengthening, strengthening and toning your body, without adding bulk to your muscles. You cannot build anything without the correct foundation, your body is no different!
3. Improved flexibility
Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in the body, improving flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness. Improving flexibility significantly enhances your performance in daily life, as well as other physical activities, and also help reduce your risk of injury. Using Pilates in conjunction with your other physical activities makes those activities that much more enjoyable.
4. Posture and Spinal Health
Pilates has multiple benefits for your spine and your overall health. Improving your posture often relieves annoying back pain, by strengthening your core muscles, teaching you good spinal alignment, helping you become more aware of your posture, and improving your flexibility. These benefits work together to prevent back pain and help you maintain good posture. Stay young - you are only as old as your spine!
