Losing weight is a lifestyle change. Doing Pilates can be a part of this but you also need to look at your nutritional lifestyle and cardio workouts. For a cardio workout, add a 30 minute jumpboard class to your Pilates workout to get that heart rate up. Losing weight is an admirable goal, but being healthy and vibrant is optimum.
Pilates is a mind body system that is based on breath, centering, balance, strength, flexibility. It is a full body activity. Pilates has the capability of bringing more conscientiousness and efficiency in your movement, be it athletic or everyday living.
We recommend a minimum of two (2) times a week for Pilates whether that is 2 classes or 1 class and 1 equipment session or 2 equipment sessions. It takes the body about 2000 repetitions to create a habit. With mindful movement and breath, depending on your body and your individual needs, Pilates is great 2-3 times per week along with your cardio workouts.
Movement is for every body. Age is not a factor. Here at Pilates On The Green we encourage students 16 years old and up to come participate.
