Pilates
This
form of exercise Joseph Pilates originally created
combines intense mental conditioning with physical
training. The goal is to produce a lean and lithe
physique, proper body alignment, and balance.
Pilates is for all levels of athletic ability
from beginner to elite, and can supplement any
strength and conditioning program as a way to
challenge muscles in different ways. The benefits
include;
•
Increased joint strength and stability
•
Increased flexibility and range of motion
•
Rehabilitation and injury prevention
•
Increased strength/stability of the spine and
core musculature
•
Increased coordination
Trainers
in all major sports use Pilates to rehab and strengthen
sprains, strains, stress fractures, and all types
of spinal and joint problems. Research indicates
that people should train the way that they perform,
so the idea with Pilates is that you are doing
functional movements similar to what you're doing
in daily activities.
Pilates
sessions at The Cutting Edge
can be performed privately or with a partner.
