Benefits Of Pilates
Pilates Exercises versus Weight Training
Pilates focuses on total body integration, working on posture, joint stability, and prime-mover support. This differs greatly from the goals of weight training, which involves building muscles through muscle isolation and exhaustion. Pilates consists of a variety of continuous movements, rather than repeating multiple sets and repetitions of the same exercise. Pilates’ exercises mimic daily task movements and acknowledge the need for spinal stability and movement.
