A Weighty Matter

Are you working out in a gym, lifting weights and not seeing the results you want? Are you looking to cross train with your weight training or cardio?  Or maybe you just feel disconnected from your body. Whatever the reason,  Pilates’ exercises can offer weight resistance and offer a tremendous workout or compliment your current workout. Pilates’ exercises on the Reformer or The Cadillac can offer the same benefits as exercises done with traditional weights or machines. This is due the Pilates machines’ springs and how the body’s muscles must overcome resistance which the springs create. The springs, like weights, can be adjusted to create more or less tension.

In Pilates’ mat classes, one uses his own body weight as resistance to create long, lean muscles and strengthen the core. In Pilates, rings are also used to create light resistance.  Rings are placed on the inside or outside of the legs for lower body exercise, or held in the hands for upper body work. Flexibility is an additional benefit of Pilates’ exercises which helps decrease injuries. Pilates is low impact and easy on the joints and is known to decrease back issues.  At Easton Pilates, Pilates is offered to all levels and will connect your mind, body and spirit.
