What is special about Pilates?
• Traditional weight training may produce short, bulky muscles, precisely the type of musculature most prone to injury. Pilates elongates the muscles, while strengthening them as well as increasing the elasticity developing more flexibility to prevent injuries. Pilates uses flowing movements which incorporate multiple muscle groups simultaneously. It avoids the tendency of many exercise programs to emphasize the muscles which are stronger and to neglect those which are already weaker. Pilates allows the body to regain efficient patterns of motion.
