Your core is the center of your body to which everything connects. Your movement depends on the ability of the core to function. When you strengthen your core, you gain greater flexibility and improve your quality of life.
You get nice & toned muscle definition through the use of resistance on the Pilates Reformer machines. Pilates Reformer exercises focus on every little muscle in your body as well as the big ones. Focusing on all the small muscles helps define the larger ones.
Pilates exercise teaches you the correct way of engaging your muscles without using momentum as some weight exercises do. This very precise, slow movement of building the muscle and then lengthening it within the same routine results in longer, leaner muscles. It gives you a smaller shape, better physique and the best body you can imagine.
Pilates was developed for rehabilitation and it helps in spinal movement and increases overall flexibility. Conventional workouts tend to focus on the same muscles over and over again. This means that weak muscles get weaker and strong muscles get stronger. The net result is muscular imbalance which is a primary cause of injury and back and neck pain. With Pilates Reformer, you’ll avoid muscular imbalance, help slow down the effects of aging, prolong your body function which result in improving for your longevity.
Many athletes include Pilates Reformer as part of their training to ensure that no muscle groups are over- or under-trained; the body is nicely balanced and the core is strong. As the smaller muscles are also trained, the chance of injury is reduced and performance increases. The gentle but effective exercise is also perfect for athletes who are recovering from injuries.
