2. Benefits of Pilates

Benefits of this practice are numerous to one’s health and well-being. Due to change of life styles, many people have adopted sedative mode of life, which leads to accumulation of fat in one’s body. Accumulation of fat leads to excess weight, which is associated with diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular heart diseases. Cardiovascular diseases occur due to accumulation of cholesterol along the epithelium of blood vessels. Continued accumulation of cholesterol leads to plaque formation, which blocks blood flow to heart’s myogenic muscles. Consequences of blood blockage leads to failure of heart muscles thus cardiac arrest or heart attack.

In case cholesterol plaques moves to the brain, risks of stroke occurrence increases tremendously. Pilates programs are designed in a way that one stretches his or her muscles thus burning excess fat in the body. Excess accumulation of fat is associated with type 11 diabetes. This occurs due to depletion of insulin signals on Beta of Langerhan’s cells. When this occurs, the blood sugar levels increases resulting to a condition known as hypoglycemia. Acute hypoglycemia causes a number of complications such as loss of eyesight, decreased libido, weight loss, fatigue as well as ketonuria. In advanced cases, acute hyperglycemia causes coma due to increased production of ketones. Loss of eyesight as well as libido occurs due to damage occurrence on nerves as well as other nervous system components.

Designers of Pilates program understand the dangers of fat or weight accumulation on one’s health. Apart from protecting one from fat accumulation, Pilates program has health benefits on one’s respiratory system. Respiratory system entails the lungs, trachea, air sacs, bronchi as well as the bronchus. Pilates trainers trains one on the proper way of breathing. This increases one’s lungs strength based on lung residue volume as well as lung capacity. At the end of training, one acquires a large lung capacity thus the ability to withhold breath. This is particularly very vital for sport persons because they gain an edge over their competitors due to breath holding ability.

Pilates exercise is vital for swimmers because they gain breath holding skills as well as balancing tactics while under water. Other benefits of Pilates exercises include increased circulation because of deep breathing, body flexibility, improved coordination between the bones and brain, increased bone density, joint strengthening as well as increased stomach and back muscle flexibility.

For better results, one should mix this exercise with yoga practices. This helps one to build inner strength and ease mental fatigue. Combined yoga and Pilates exercise produce a package that has both physiological and psychological benefits. Physiologic benefits gained when one combines both yoga and plates include improved nervous system, decreased hypertension, decreased respiratory rate, increased Galvanic skin response, decreased pulse rate as well as increased alpha waves.

Some psychological benefits associated with this combination include increase of somatic as well as kinesthetic awareness. Another benefit includes mood boosting as well as improved health. One learns to accept him or herself due to its self-realization benefits. Decrease of stress, depression, anxiety as well as tempers occurs after performing both yoga and Pilates exercises. Improvements of memory, attention, concentration, social skills as well as self-actualization are some other psychological benefits of these exercises.

3. Pilates Postures

There are various postures for performing Pilates exercises. In the first posture, one lies flat on the ground facing up. The second step involves lifting one’s legs without bending them. Slowly and carefully, one moves them backwards until they touch the ground. This posture tightens one’s stomach and back muscles. People wishing to reduce fat around their tummy should use this posture. This posture is ideal for women after giving birth because it helps in stomach flattening. This posture is ideal for strengthening one’s back muscles as well as backbone. This is ideal for sport persons that engage in activities such as jumping, running as well as pole-vaulting.

Another common posture entails one lying on his chest with his or her legs straightened up. This requires an additional support form a colleague. In that position, one is supposed to breathe deeply while retaining breaths. This enhanced lung strength and capacity. Pilates trainers should ensure one breath through the nose and not the mouth. Breathing through the mouth has bad effects because air taken in is not purified and moisturized. This posture is ideal for swimmers and runners because it increases one’s lung capacity as well as lung residual volume. Retention of breath is a key skill in long distant runners because of an added advantage of coping with less amounts of oxygen while running.

Another posture entails one sitting or kneeling. One then stretches his or her hands backwards with help of a Pilates trainer. Objective of this posture is strengthening one’s muscles around the shoulder blades. One also stretches the spinal chord allowing smooth flow of nervous information. While performing any Pilates exercise, the trainer should ensure the learner performs the exercise smoothly and carefully to avoid occurrence of accidents.
