YOUR BODY IS A TREE
Think of your body as a tree. Your trunk is solid but your arms and legs move around. Your trunk needs constant stabilization for your body to perform at its best. Most people, especially athletes, focus more on their large power muscle groups such as the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and back. Stabilizing muscles, such as those located in the pelvic floor, abdominals, and erector spinae, are small and can be difficult to properly train but Pilates is sneaky. Without realizing it, Pilates will help strengthen those stabilizing muscles and enhance your everyday life and athletic performance through:
1. Core strengthening.
2. Avoiding injuries by increased flexibility.
3. Pelvic stabilization for proper alignment.
4. Decreased lower back pain.
5. Increased spinal flexibility.
6. Improved posture.
7. Decreased stress level.
Are you a tall and mighty oak or a weeping willow? Good posture is your presentation to the world!
