Pilates.Also known as Body Contrology. The workout basically focuses on strengthening the core muscles and improving postural awareness. A highly effective way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body without building bulk or stressing your joints.
It's Different from Yoga... and i prefer this to yoga. Fren and i were giggling thru' the entire Yoga intro class many years ago, and i actually fell asleep during class! :P But was hooked on pilates eversince i 1st tried it.
Pilates matwork classes can enable you to:
1. Improve your posture and alignment
2. Tone up to develop long, lean muscles without adding bulk3. Increase your core stability, postural control and body awareness
4. Learn to move more efficiently with less effort through developing correct muscle recruitment patterns
5. Achieve a sense of well-being
6. Improve flexibility, strength, muscle tone and co-ordination
7. Prevent injuryHave been faithfully attending the Pilates class by Collin on Sunday afternoons. :) Not bad, got improvement now... can actually do the more advanced intermmediate moves compared to the new comers who reminded me when i 1st started. :P
