Is this Pilates for me?

What are the benefits of pilates?

FIVE BENEFITS OF PILATES
1. Full Body Workout – globally strengthening the whole body to target the large muscle movers but also activate the smaller stabilizers.

2. Builds Strength and Tones Muscles – The reformer cleverly uses springs and levers to create resistance and allow equal focus on concentric and eccentric movement to create long lean muscle.

3. Low Impact but High Intensity – Exercises are designed to be non weight bearing, reducing the load through your body.

4. Improve Core Strength and Control – Targeting the deep abdominal muscles to improve posture and prevent injury

5. Improves Mental Health – Using steadiness of breath for mindfulness in movement and relaxation and the natural mood boost from exercise.
