Man Up!

Pilates is often associated with women and more often than not you will find a majority of women in Pilates classes.  Does this mean Pilates does not work well for men?  Hardly! Pilates was invented by an incredibly strong German man, Joseph Pilates.  Joseph Pilates studied anatomy and developed himself as a body builder, a wrestler, gymnast, boxer, skier and diver.
Pilates has many benefits including strengthening the core, key to advancing performance in any sport.  Pilates is wonderful for releasing tight hamstrings and shoulders sore from golf or tennis swings.  Pilates can decrease back pain and improve overall health. Pilates connects your mind, body, and spirit, releasing stress. 
According to British GQ ‘s article, Why Real Men Do Pilates,  “…While Pilates is great for weight loss, it can also increase your strength. I also managed to maintain a trim waist and muscular arms by following the three exercises below once a week. In short, it's the most hassle-free way to stay trim, toned and build muscle.”
