Pilates Cardiff, Penarth, Barry and Cowbridge One to One Training

In our daily lives, walking, driving, working and playing sport, we use muscles that would work better if they were regularly exercised and toned. Focusing the mind on the body, you can learn how to locate and isolate specific muscle groups in order to strengthen them. Pilates exercises especially target the core muscles of the torso to provide a strong centre, support for your back and create longer leaner muscles for great posture. When done correctly and regularly, it results in an improved body shape, a flatter and stronger tummy and greater flexibility.

Pilates is a low impact exercise and movement form, designed to strengthen and lengthen muscles, safely and without adding bulk, resulting in good posture, flat tummy and great body shape. The exercises especially target the core, or transverse, muscles to create a functional and efficient torso that provides strength and flexibility for balance and mobility in all body movements. Pilates exercises help prevention of injury, rehabilitation after injury, rebuilding and strengthening muscles to relieve back pain.

The deep breathing used whilst performing the exercises not only increases lung capacity but also helps alleviate tension. The deep breathing and the exercises together stimulate the circulatory system, oxygenate the blood and revive the body. It is particularly relevant for people who enjoy any type of sport or have a demanding job, where body awareness and strength are important. It is now widely used by professional sports men and women in many disciplines including golf, tennis, cricket, football and rugby.

Pilates can benefit all ages and abilities and it is never too late to start. It can correct and realign the body, improving posture and flexibility by gently stretching the spine. It can give relief from back problems or prevent back problems in the future. Pilates is also an ideal exercise to use in pregnancy and post natal.

One-to-one courses are the ultimate way to gain the most benefit from Pilates exercises. The individual attention will guarantee you perform the exercises safely and competently. When you can perform the basic Pilates routines you will have an excellent base for any fitness or sporting activity and a reduced risk of injury. This is also the best and most time effective way to improve your body shape and posture and is ideal for post and pre natal exercise programmes.
