Pilates is a mind-body exercise method great for lengthening and strengthening muscles and for improving posture, coordination and flexibility. It is also a key exercise method for those recovering from injuries.
Types of Pilates
There are two types of Pilates available on the market
First you have mat work which consists of a series of exercises all to be performed on the floor and which we cover here in VideoJug. In many cases these are divided into levels, to distinguish between the basic, intermediate and advanced exercises.
The second type is machine-based classes. The machines function using springs to create resistance and provide a very effective tool for doing non-weight bearing, though challenging exercises. These classes are especially beneficial if you are recovering from an injury or accident or suffer from osteoporosis.
