Pilates En Vogue!

In the March issue of Vogue Magazine in the article titled, “View From The Top” it discusses the enormous backlash to the recent NY Times Article, “Why Women Can’t Do Pull-Ups”.  The NYTs article focused on a study conducted by the University of Dayton.  The study concluded women are not physiologically suited to lift their own weight.  The Vogue article quotes may fitness experts who vehemently deny this.  They say while women are not by nature as strong in their upper bodies as men, they can absolutely build muscle and certainly gain the strength to perform pull-ups.  The article goes on to point out cardio is not enough and women need to strength train which builds muscle.  Benefits of strength training include increased stamina and resistance to injury.  

What is a great way to build muscle for women?  Vogue suggests Pilates (of course!) as opposed to traditional weight training.  As one expert says, “You can build specific muscles on weight machines, but that type of strength does not translate well to everyday life.”
