Скачать или смотреть Pilates Mat - Morning Crane Healing Arts & Fitness Center

The Pilates Mat class is a class that is focused on strengthening your core and lengthening your muscles. We generally start in standing position. We'll do some squats and some lunges so you can really connect with yourself in that upright posture. We then take it to the floor and do some focused abdominal work, some bridging, working on hamstrings and gluteus. We often come up into a seated position and do some band work. Then we go into the prone position on your stomach, and do some spinal extensions. Then we come up into a quadra- pied "all fours" position and do some more abdominal work. And then we take it to a sideline position to cover all positions of the body. Anyone can take Pilates and you don't necessarily have to be in great shape. Everybody has to start somewhere. I think that movement is important for everybody. The body was designed to move. The benefits of Pilates are that you have increased core strength and increase flexibility and range of motion. Core strength is very important because in our upright standing position it allows the person to move through their life easily and effortlessly.
