Why You Should Try Pilates For Your Next Workout

WRITTEN BY: Bethany Tapp, Certified Personal Trainer & STOTT Pilates Instructor

Pilates workouts can be done by both men women! Pilates was named after a former Army medic, Joseph Pilates. Joseph Pilates combined breath work, which includes an exaggerated exhale, and movement to increase range of motion, strength, and flexibility among smaller muscles in the body to help balance movement of the larger muscles. (A mind + body workout).

More often than not, when you do a Pilates workout you will be working your entire body.  

Pilates can be done on the floor, otherwise known as “mat work” and with various pieces of Pilates equipment such as the Reformer, Barrel, Cadillac, Chair, Wall Unit, etc.

Pilates mat work is known as the foundational groundwork for Pilates, which is where most begin their Pilates practice. Mat work is also known to be some of the most challenging ways to practice Pilates as you must use your own bodyweight to do all movements.

Today, many professional athletes use Pilates workouts to stay injury free- especially MLB players.

In addition, Pilates has many great benefits!
Including:
~Pilates is a lower intensity workout- it can be paired with higher intensity workout types as an active recovery workout.
~Pilates is one of the best workouts to improve core strength.
~Pilates can be done anywhere.
~Pilates is an excellent way to align your mind with your body, so they work together.
~Pilates is a great type of workout to include in your workout routine to help keep injury free!
~Pilates is one of the top workouts to help you better manage chronic pain.

I was really interested when you talked about how pilates is a "low-intensity" workout. We've been trying to work on our fitness for a while now, and I really want to make sure we do it without overexerting ourselves immediately and burning out. This sounds like a great place to start, so I'll ask around for any private pilates lessons we can start taking as a family.

Yes, Pilates is a great place to start if you are concerned about overextending yourself. I currently offer virtual Private Pilates Training and Small Group Pilates Workouts through MotivateU. Let me know if you might be interested in connecting further and I would be happy to take you through a brief intro of Pilates.
