Pilates

Pilates is one form of exercise in which the person performs a sequence/series of controlled movements that flow into one another with accuracy and precision. It is technically considered a total body workout.
In working the entire body, though, Pilates’ movements are primarily designed to target your core muscles, including your:
• Lower and Upper Back Muscles
• Inner Thigh Muscles
• Abdominal Muscles
• Hip Muscles
• Gluteal Muscles

It helps you boost your body’s natural ability to burn fat

Pilates isn’t the best exercise to burn calories quickly. Pilates helps in building muscle, and this is important since building muscle increase the metabolic rate of your body’s basal -says Doctor Neetu Rathi, the Best Physiotherapist in Gurgaon.

It’s a great way to cross-train and prevent injury

Using Pilate as a tool to get in shape or just improve your overall health helps build strength and flexibility. In your overarching exercise regimen, you need a variety of workouts, including strength training, cardio, flexibility exercises, and maybe even some high-intensity interval training (HIIT). A bunch of these various types of exercise in your fitness plan is called cross-training.

Cross-training is extremely important because it helps prevent the overuse injuries you can get from repetitively using your muscles the same way over and over if you’re only doing one type of workout

Pilates promotes mindfulness and body awareness

Pilates is a type of strength training exercise that encourages you to identify and work within the limits of your body. Another benefit of Pilates is that it encourages you to stay in touch with your body as you build strength. All Other strength trainings like weightlifting etc. encourage a mentality of pushing your body to its limits but not listening to your body, making it easier to ignore your body cues.

Having strong core muscles promotes better posture, which, in turn, can prevent or relieve the muscle tension that builds up in our day-to-day routines. Strengthening postural muscles helps balance out the tension. Pilate gives the best results for people who sit and work at desks for long periods because having stronger core and back muscles can help you correct out of those classic desk postures that cause tension and pain in your shoulders, neck, and legs.
