Although it has a history of over 100 years, Pilates is one of the most modern and effective methods for body remodelling. This physical fitness system was developed by Joseph Pilates and was initially named Contrology, its basic principle being the development of muscles with the help of mind.
Grace, balance and concentration are the three words that define this activity, because it is the art that teaches you how to find the balance between mind and body, while relaxing and, at the same time, working your muscles.
Pilates can be practiced by anyone, regardless of age or physical condition. It is a type of training recommended especially for those who stay too much in the office, because it strengthens the back and neck muscles, preventing and treating the pain caused by the incorrect posture we have when working in front of the computer. It is also recommended to soon-to-be mothers, because it teaches them how to breathe properly, preparing them to give birth, or to new mothers, helping them to get back to the silhouette they had before giving birth.
If you are convinced of the benefits of this sport and want to start practicing it, we recommend a few studios where you can do Pilates, under the guidance of the best professionals.
