Top 5 Reasons You Should Be Doing Pilates

Pilates allows you to build your core strength and flexibility, helping to increase your balance and mobility as you move through life.  Here are the top 5 reasons to consider trying Pilates:

YOU CAN DO PILATES AT ANY AGE.  There are not many physical activities you can do safely in your 20s and all the way through to your 80s.  Walking, yoga, tennis, swimming, biking and Pilates fall into this category.

IT TARGETS ALL OF THE ZONES YOU WANT TO TARGET.  Pilates was created to challenge your abs, butt, arms and thighs.  It is a full body workout that works all the areas you need to work.

YOU WILL BURN CALORIES.  Whether you are doing Reformer Pilates or Mat Pilates, you will burn calories.

YOUR BODY SHAPE WILL SHIFT (FOR THE BETTER).  As you stretch and strengthen your muscles through corrective and oppositional movements, you are creating a longer, leaner, stronger body.  Your posture will improve significantly!

PILATES IS PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.  In addition to better posture, strength and stamina, some of the health benefits of doing Pilates include: improved sleep, decreased stress, stronger bones, decreased back pain, more bowel regularity and better balance.  Balance is the number one key to preventing falls as you get older.
