A Gym session is great....but check this out
Joseph Pilates invented Reformer Pilates in the early 20th Century with a view to improving flexibility, strength and body awareness. Pilates is a resistance exercise and closer to weight lifting than it is to aerobic exercise. The benefits of Reformer Pilates are numerous - (Stott Pilates):
Longer, leaner muscles
Improves posture
Increases core strength, stability and peripheral mobility
Helps prevent injury
Balances strength with flexibility
Heightens body awareness
No impact...easy on the joints
Customisable to suit rehab patients to elite athletes
Is complimentary to other methods of exercise
Improves performance in sports
Improves balance, coordination and circulation
We spoke to one of our clients (Brent) who has been on a 6 month Reformer Pilates journey and more recently with Core Culture:
"Working in an office environment, I have always had discomfort in my lower back. A few years back I ended up in hospital with a spasm. My L5/S1 disc had herniated. Soon after, I had a microdiscectomy. Reformer Pilates has strengthened my core and lower back. It probably took 3 months, but I don't get the twitches and spasms I used to get. I can do so much more, without the worry".
Whether it is your only exercise or to supplement other exercise, it is a workout and it is highly beneficial. You will feel flexible and energised. Give it a try with our introductory offer - you will never look back.
