OUR TOP 5 QUESTIONS
- How can I get rid of this middle around my waist? Can Pilates give me that flatter more toned abdominal? YES Pilates promotes weight loss and a that long, lean appearance by stretching through your entire body as you perform each exercise.
- I have heard that Pilates talks about training the mind first. What does that mean? Very simple, the body is controlled by the mind. If you dont know what to look for or how to do the exercise why do it? Get some fundamental training.Check out balancenstrength.com
- What if I can’t do all the Pilates exercises? No problem, get the basics, the fundamental elements of Pilates. Each exercise trains and builds muscle memory for the next. Go to balancenstrength.com and check out Fundamental Pilates.
- Wonder if I can’t keep up? Pilates is not aerobic like cycling or running. Its meant to have a set pace but not fast. Seek out instructors who have had more classical style Pilates training (Original Joseph Pilates Method). Power Pilates NYC
- Can I use my Yoga mat? I do not recommend yoga mats. Original Pilates studio mats are thick (like gym mat) but since we cant carry those try the 1/2″ thick foam pad. Any sports store will carry these.
