Pilates, also known as Pilates Technique, is an exercise method and skill named after German Joseph Hubert Pilates. During his life, Pilates created a unique set of training movements and sports skills called "control". Pilates and his wife always created more than 500 movements. Most of them were taken as photos or documentaries, including the exercises on the mat and the movements of the studio equipment invented by Mr. Pilates. This is a narrow concept of Pilates.
The basic principles of Pilates involve attention, control, center, flow, accuracy and breathing. Pilates has been popular for 100 years because of its various health benefits. This is a very good choice for people who want to strengthen their core strength and improve their posture, balance and flexibility. There are two kinds of Pilates, one is mat Pilates, which is a combination of dance, yoga, aerobics and other disciplines. The other is Pilates equipment, which uses different equipment, such as universal chair, Cadillac and core bed.
The main crowd of Pilates: office workers who lack exercise, sit in the office all the year round and make their muscles lose strength. Over time, they are prone to backache and even lose their body lines. Pilates helps to re-stretch tight muscles, just like doing deep massage, and at the same time practice muscle endurance to evenly distribute body pressure.
Most of Pilates' attention is to keep breathing balance. You can practice two or three times a week according to your physical condition. At first, it shouldn't take long. Every movement should be guided by professionals to avoid muscle and ligament strain. Pilates is a kind of physical exercise. Sticking to Pilates can enhance the body's disease resistance and physique, and also play a role in losing weight and burning body fat and calories.
