Folks, sitting for that long sans activity can make our body seriously grouchy. Also not to forget, if you do exercise, the body can get used to the same old workout routine which could be a hindrance in the weight loss process.

<p>Vesna Pericevic Jacob, Holistic Fitness Expert &#038; Author gives us some philosophy on Pilates, ‘Pilates represents a unique system of exercises developed by Joseph Hubertus Pilates over 90 years ago. When Pilates started teaching his method in NY, he called it Body Contrology, as control and precise execution were crucial to the efficacy of the system. Pilates was also a visionary in the sense he understood that exercising is never supposed to be unpleasant, uncomfortable or painful. The philosophy behind his teaching was that our body should be treated as one with the attention focused on our central part “The Core” or “The Powerhouse”. Pilates helps develop long, lean muscles, shapes our body, decreases fat, and improves our posture, boosts immune system and decreases stress and tiredness. It improves our stability, balance and flexibility. Pilates unifies elements of stretching, ballet and yoga into an amazingly effective combination that benefits everybody. Pilates has inspired his students to evolve his system through this time and this why it has withstood the test of time. Based on my experience, ancient Eastern traditions of balance of Life, guided by Pilates principles of pain free body that is a &#8220;prerequisite of happiness&#8221; and supported by new understanding of the biomechanical science. My own interpretation of the system takes the body through all planes of motion, while keeping the functionality of the body in mind as well and your personal satisfaction with the way your body performs, feels and looks, making it more holistic as a system. </p>

<p>Pilates can be performed by people of all ages, gender and physical conditions; it is built around efficient, well-aligned human movement &#8211; not certain humans, all humans. There are things we focus on like core strength, flexibility, and balance but the exercises are adapted appropriately for each body using them. Having said that, Pilates is a great friend of the pre and postnatal woman. Pilates helps with balance, flexibility, and coordination as it promotes overall fitness. It is easy to adjust the effort level required for Pilates exercises. Pilates, as moderate resistance training, is very compatible with bone health programs. These are some of the reasons seniors are signing up for Pilates classes. There are many great exercises in the system, notably &#8216;Hundred&#8217;. The hundred is a dynamic warm-up for the abdominals and lungs. Rolling Up challenges the abdominal muscles, and is also called Pilates flat abs exercise. Teaser is one of those abdominal exercises that really shows us whether we are working our abs in a symmetrical way. Plank, or front support is another well-known exercise. It is one of the most popular exercises for developing core strength and stability.’ </p>
