Martha's
Vineyard Pilates Training, and Pilates in general
Perhaps the most highly functional and personalized
forms of exercise available, the Pilates Method improves both
strength and flexibility.
By focusing on “core” strengthening the Pilates Method first
develops a strong center from which to move from rather than
just making strong muscles stronger.
With careful instruction you’ll find new and stronger support
for everyday movement.
The specialized equipment works by toning muscles as well
as balancing muscular force at the joint level. It stimulates
circulation through facilitating muscular flexibility, joint
range of motion and proper musculoskeletal alignment.
In addition, it promotes new neuromuscular patterns, heightened
body awareness, and more precise coordination.
All these things combine to help prevent future injury and
reduce, or even eliminate chronic pain altogether.
What
To expect from the Pilates method of exercise as Mr. pilates
said it:
"Physical Fitness is
the first requisite of happiness.Our {Pilates practitioners}
interpretation of phycical fitness is the attainment and maintenance
of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable
of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many
and varied daily task with spontaneous zest and pleasure.
To achieve the highest accomplishments within the scope of
our capabilities in all walks of life we must contantly strive
to acquire strong, healthy bodies and develop our minds to
the limit of our ability". Physical fitness can niether
be acquired by wishful thinking nor outright purchase. However,
it can be gained through performing the...exercises concieved
for this purpose by...Mr. Joseph Pilates...whose unique methods
accomplish this desired result."
What How to engage and perform Pilates exercises as Mr. Pilates
said it:
"The only unchanging rules
you must conscientiously obey is that you must always faithfully
and without deviation follow the instruction...of...the exercises
and always keep your mind wholly concentrated on the purpose
of the exercises as you perform them. This is vitally important
in order for you to gain the results sought, otherwise there
would be no valid reason for your interest in Pilates. Moreover,
you must accept all collateral advice with equal fidelity...
The benifits of Pilates depend solely upon your performing
the exercises exactly according to instructions-and not otherwise...Remember,
too, that 'Rome was not built in a day', and that PATIENCE
and PERSISTENCE and vital qualities in the ultimate successful
accomplishment of any worthwhile endeavor. Practice your exercises
diligently with the fixed and unalterable determination that
you permit nothing else to sway you from keeping faith with
yourself".
Pilates is right for everyone!
