the hype about pilates, pilates classes and pilates dvd
I have always read discussions on the effectiveness of pilates and infact, I’ve been wanting to grab a pilates dvd so that I can work out from home. Pilates have garnered much attention lately in the press and has become immensely popular in the United States and Europe. Broadway and Hollywood stars like Madonna, Vanessa Williams, and Sharon Stone are reported to have participated in Pilates classes or bought some Mind-Body Fitness products or pilates dvds.
When Joseph Pilates developed his plan to condition bodies based on a series of poses held through deep breathing, it was to benefit his patients who were recovering from illnesses and injuries. During his development process he found out that Pilates strengthened the core of muscles that contain the abdominals, back, shoulders and pelvis.
Some critics have denied the claims by Pilates enthusiasts that using Pilates as a weight-loss program is effective. Many say that Pilates alone will not cause the participant to lose weight. He or she must diet and use some form of aerobic exercise to see dramatic results in weight loss. But, was weight loss Joseph Pilates intention, I wonder?
If you are just wanting to lose weight and quickly, maybe Pilates are not the best thing to be doing exclusive of other exercise programs. But, if you want to increase you flexibility, work on your balance, and strengthen your muscles without overdoing it, then Pilates may the the answer you have been looking for. And if that’s you, why not grab a pilates dvd to get started?
