Pilates Hornsby

Pilates, unlike many other types of exercise is a whole body exercise that works every part of your body equally.

Pilates promotes strength and balanced muscle development as well as flexibility and increased range of motion for your joints.

 

Here Are Some Facts About Pilates:

• Pilates is good for burning visceral fat. Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds our organs (this is called subcutaneous fat). Visceral fat is deep inside our bodies and while fat under our skin can look unattractive, the fat that surrounds our organs can lead to severe health problems. Pilates is a very effective exercise for burning subcutaneous fat.

• If you have joint pain then Pilates is an ideal solution if you want to do strength training because it is NO impact. Pilates uses your own body weight and gravity to increase your strength. This means you preserve your joints and also strengthen the muscles surrounding them without any risk of injury.

• You can cure headaches caused by tight back muscles because Pilates greatly increases your circulation and releases muscle tension.

• Pilates is also very effective at toning and tightening your body.
