Pilates is more than just a workout. Any person who’s been doing it for at least a couple of months knows that Pilates doesn’t only sculpt your body but it also clears your mind and gives you energy and inner serenity. But what is so special about Pilates?

People come to a Pilates class to get a flat tummy, ease joint pains and discomforts, rehabilitate after a surgery or improve their athletic performance. And Pilates can do all of that!

The modern world is full of distractions, stresses, and chaos. Each one of us is looking for a personal state of peace and tranquility that would help us make sense of everything that is going on in our lives. When searching for that inner balance we usually consider popular self-improvement techniques like meditation, simplifying, affirmations, etc. but we rarely consider any form of exercise as a viable tool to help us balance our lives.

So here are the amazing health benefits of pilates

Pilates Is Whole-Body Fitness

Unlike some forms of exercise, Pilates does not over-develop some parts of the body and neglect others. While Pilates training focuses on core strength, it trains the body as an integrated whole.

Pilates workouts promote strength and balanced muscle development as well as flexibility and increased the range of motion for the joints.

Attention to the core support and full-body fitness, including the breath and the mind, provide a level of integrative fitness that is hard to find elsewhere. It is also the reason that Pilates is so popular in rehab scenarios, as well as with athletes who find that Pilates is a great foundation for any kind of movement they do. ​

Pilates Creates Strength Without Bulk

Long, lean muscles are the name of the game here. In Pilates, you are not looking to build muscles for show. You are building toned muscles that work perfectly within the context of the body as a whole, and the functional fitness needs of a person as they move through life.

One of the ways that Pilates creates long, strong muscles is by taking advantage of a type of muscle contraction called an eccentric contraction.

Pilates Increases Flexibility

In Pilates, we work toward a safe increase in length and stretch of the muscles and range of motion within the joints. You won’t find quite as much “pretzel logic” in Pilates as you might in yoga, but a body that can stretch and bend to meet the flow of life is a very realistic goal.​

Pilates Develops Core Strength

The core muscles of the body are the deep muscles of the back, abdomen, and pelvic floor. These are the muscles we rely on to support a strong, supple back, good posture, and efficient movement patterns. When the core is strong, the frame of the body is supported. This means the neck and shoulders can relax, and the rest of the muscles and joints are freed to do their jobs, not more.

A nice side benefit is that the core training promotes the flat abs that we all covet.

Pilates Improves Posture

Good posture is a reflection of good alignment supported by a strong core. It is a position from which one can move freely. Starting with Pilates movement fundamentals and moving through mat and equipment exercises, Pilates trains the body to express itself with strength and harmony. You can see this in the beautiful posture of those who practice Pilates. It’s a reason why people do Pilates for back pain.

Ever since Pilates were created in the 20th century by Joseph Pilates, they have been practiced worldwide by millions of people, mostly for different reasons. Some do Pilates to stay fit and avoid unexpected aches in the body, others do it to gain a slim body and train their abdominals.

Pilates are one of the most efficient ways to burn calories. One thing that is loved most about it is that it can be done in the four corners of your own home without the need for a gym. The exercise, if done well, targets your upper and lower abdominals, and helps pitch your thighs. Here are the top seven pilates exercises we think you should try:

30 seconds of Pilates hundreds

Pilates hundreds are an impeccable way to build your body and get into top condition. It is also an essential Pilates move, as its core purpose is to develop those abs you’ve always wanted. We find this step particularly interesting because of its simple nature.

Kneeling Rear Leg Raises

The kneeling rear leg raises (on each leg) is essential for the butt muscles, it shapes and lifts your glutes. While doing this, be sure to squeeze your butt as tight and strong as you can in order to get the best out of it. Also, while doing the leg raise, keep in mind the fact that it should be done very slowly, and make sure to add ankle weight to make it harder.

Side Plank with Legs Raises

The side plank with leg raises (on each side) focuses majorly on your obliques and your external thighs and additionally balances out your muscles in both the shoulder and the center. This exercise is ‘awesome’ because it helps develop those seemingly insignificant areas of your body that seem impossible to touch. In addition to this, the side plank performed in this way will strengthen your hips and thighs, and emaciate your waistline.

Back Bows

This Pilates back bows move is essential. It tones and fortifies your lower back in a very controlled and protected way. The legs bring up helps work the glutes and hamstrings and burns a high level of calories for a better back muscles. In addition, it builds general control and balances critical abdominal muscles.

Pilates Table Tops

On this move, you lift each leg and each leg lifted makes one set. This position is usually used as a beginning stage or sometimes, a move for different Pilates workout. It is useful for warming up the center and smooth parts of the legs, and conditions both the abs and the thighs’ front and also connects with every part of your lower body through the abs, conditioning those part that are very difficult to target.

30 seconds of Pilates Imprint

This move is basically the establishment and foundation of almost all Pilates workouts. It is fairly straightforward in the sense that it connects completely with the muscular strength and can add an amazing advantage for the waist and stomach. Its a learner level move that functions perfectly for basically any wellness level, so it is highly important that you get it right.

As with any exercise, we recommend that you do these exercises using perfect form in order to get the desired results. In the course of your Pilates workout sessions, you should perform the entire routine at least twice or thrice for best results.
