What the hell is pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on the mind-body connection. It originated in the early 1900s when Joseph Pilates of Germany developed a method that combined Western strength training with Eastern concentration.
Get your core in shape
Pilates exercises focus particularly on strengthening the middle body, or “core”. This doesn’t just mean getting a six-pack, but strengthening the entire muscular corset of the midsection.
And best of all, a strong core will also help you in your everyday life – no more back pain after a long day at work!
Breathing is key
One of the cornerstones of Pilates is breathing. The right breathing technique will help you focus and make the movements feel more effective.
It’s like meditation, but in motion!
Who is Pilates for?
In short: for everyone! Pilates is a low-threshold sport suitable for all ages and abilities.
It’s a particularly good choice if you need a gentler workout or suffer from back problems, for example.
Why try Pilates?
- Improve your posture: good posture does wonders for your self-esteem!
- More mobility: stiff joints, watch out!
- Strengthens muscles and burns fat: not just the superficial muscle, but the whole package!
- Calm the mind: say hello to stress!
- Powerful but gentle: you’ll get sweat on the surface, but you won’t get exhausted.
