5 Hidden Secrets to Pilates

Many of my clients tell me about the additional benefits that they feel from doing Pilates consistently and as soon as they take a break or go on holiday these benefits become more pronounced. So my next article is about just that… We have Pilates principles and now Pilates secrets.

  • Younger looking skin that is blemish-free: While practising Pilates you increase your circulation and the perspiration that occurs with exercise delivers more nutrients to your skin while allowing impurities and waste to be removed. The result—a beautiful complexion!

  • “Feel-Good & Happy” hormone:  Exercise releases endorphins, the brain chemicals that boost your mood and make you feel happy, as well as relieve stress, and enhance your self-esteem and self-confidence. Exercise has also been shown to increase neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which gives us a natural high and allows us to sleep better. Many of my clients suffering from depression have told me that Pilates has not failed them, after every session they feel like a million dollars and that their coping skills and emotions are in a much better place.

  • Prevents Constipation: Exercise increases the contractions of the wall of the intestines, helping to move things along through the intestinal tract more easily, and decreasing the time it takes to pass through the large intestine. But wait an hour or two after eating before exerting yourself: Exercising too soon after a meal can divert blood flow away from the gut and toward the muscles and slow down the digestion process.

 

No more constipation
  • Prevents brittle bones: Walking, jogging, dancing, Pilates and yoga are all weight-bearing exercises that help strengthen bones. During weight-bearing exercises, bones adapt to the impact of the weight and the pull of muscles by building more bone cells, increasing strength and density and decreasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. Prevention is better then cure.

  • Increase Your Immunity: Physical exertion increases the rate at which antibodies flow through the blood stream, resulting in better immunity against sickness. The increased temperature generated during moderate exercise makes it difficult for certain infectious organisms to survive.
