subject: Use Pilates To Empower You And Your Life [print this page] Pilates is an exercise that has a lot of benefits. Increased energy, sense of well being and even increased longevity can all result form taking up this form of exercise. Those are just the physical benefits, there are plenty of mental benefits too. You can expect to say goodbye to depression and experience clearer thinking and more astute intuition.
Let's look at how Pilates can benefit your life:
Weight loss. Exercising burns calories and if you build muscles you'll also enjoy an increased metabolic rate. The more intense the classes, the more calories you'll burn. If you don't have time to sign up to a class, then go online and grab yourself a DVD. You'll be trained by an experienced instructor on how to exercise and breathe.
Smooth movements. Even though you may well perspire, you won't be jerking around on a mat with increased risk of injury. Pilates movements are smooth, fluid and will stretch and strengthen your muscles. The result will be a leaner, sleeker and stronger you with less weight.
Improve health conditions. High blood pressure or diabetes? Both of these conditions can be helped with the regular practice of Pilates. This exercise method not only boosts circulation but can also make you feel more relaxed and focused. These two together will keep your blood flowing nicely. As for diabetes - regular exercise is necessary to keep it in check. If you are a sufferer of type II and overweight - you may even combat it altogether.
Mood booster. Blast stress away with every move. Performing exercise can release endorphins into the bloodstream which work as a natural 'happy' drug. Pilates will also loosen up any tightness that can come from being sat at your desk all day long. You should also be pleased with how you look even after just a couple of weeks of increased physical activity.
Increased energy. With your increased muscle strength and stamina you'll be ready to take on more physical challenges in your life. Use the boost to get going with some home decorating that you've been putting off for a while. Who knows - you might even get to the gardening!
Improved sleep. Tiring yourself will help you sleep better. Your stress levels will be lower too - so you shouldn't stay awake at night worrying about things when you should be sleeping to refresh yourself for the next day.
It's fun! Whether you take classes or you opt for the home study DVD style Pilates, you should enjoy it. Not only does it provide a way to unwind and relax after a busy day at the office, but you will be improving your physical appearance too.
Ready to go? Pilates provides a great way to exercise with many benefits. If you opt for the home study Pilates DVD you won't even need to leave the house. There's no time like the presence - take your first step to get started now.
