What's good about Pilates?

Many people like to do yoga, but many people like to do Pilates. Like yoga, Pilates has good effects. Both methods can be used for fitness and weight loss. Many people are worried that Pilates will not have any exercise effect when doing it, so they simply give up this Pilates exercise after doing it halfway. So what are the benefits of practicing Pilates?

Stretch your muscles

While practicing other sports in the gym may mainly exercise your heart and lungs, Pilates directly stretches your muscles, so it will make you feel awkward and uncomfortable during exercise. If you want to go left, it goes right; if you want to go up, it goes down; if you want to inhale, it exhales. There are all kinds of weird postures to enhance your coordination and mobilize muscles that you may never have mobilized in your life. If you feel that a certain posture is not ugly or uncomfortable and is quite enjoyable to do, it goes without saying that you are definitely doing it wrong.

Combination of rigidity and flexibility

A big reason why Pilates has become popular recently is that it is not restricted by the venue and can be practiced on a mat or even on the floor. Compared to yoga, it is somewhat like yoga, and it is more outstanding in combining Chinese and Western elements. It incorporates both the Western "hardness" that focuses on the training of body muscles and functions, and the Eastern "softness" that emphasizes the unity of body and mind during practice. Each posture must be coordinated with breathing. Pilates can not only improve the external shape of the human body, but also has special effects in treating some diseases. For example: body swelling, back pain, constipation, fatigue, varicose veins, etc.

Relax while stretching and breathing

Most office workers have excess fat around their waists, and Pilates is a very targeted exercise. No matter what, tense your muscles and stretch your legs as far as possible, coordinating your breathing. Imagine that your head is about to hit the ceiling. With beautiful music playing, the fitness trainer is guiding you in your exercises. There is no pressure, no irritability. Being in this environment really makes you feel like a person who is detached from everything and is only immersed in sports.

Above we introduced the benefits of practicing Pilates. If you know these benefits, you can choose to do Pilates when you need them. You must master the relevant techniques when doing Pilates. You need to persist in doing it when you exercise and lose weight. Only by practicing Pilates for a long time can you better exercise and lose weight.
