Over the last few years, the Pilates method has become an unavoidable trend in the world of fitness and well-being. This exercise method, founded by Joseph Pilates, is winning over more and more people thanks to its many benefits for body and mind. If you haven’t tried Pilates yet, now’s the perfect time to discover why the practice is on the rise and how it can transform your wellness routine.

The benefits of Pilates method

Pilates offers a multitude of benefits, making it a popular choice for beginners and advanced enthusiasts alike.

• Core strengthening: Pilates focuses on strengthening the core muscles, including the abdominals, lower back, hips and pelvic floor. A strong core is essential for good posture and overall stability.

• Improved flexibility: Pilates exercises promote greater range of motion by lengthening and loosening muscles. You’ll quickly notice an improvement in your flexibility.

• Reduced pain: By improving posture and strengthening stabilizing muscles, Pilates can help reduce chronic pain, especially back pain.

• Improved posture: Regular Pilates practice helps to correct muscular imbalances, resulting in a straighter, more elegant posture.

• All-round muscle strengthening: Through controlled, precise movements, Pilates engages several muscle groups simultaneously, offering all-round strengthening without excessive impact on the joints.

Growing popularity

Pilates continues to grow in popularity worldwide. The method is appreciated for its ability to adapt to all fitness levels and to meet a variety of needs, whether for rehabilitation, pregnancy preparation or simply general improvement of well-being. Pilates classes are becoming more and more popular, and more and more people are discovering the benefits of this gentle yet effective practice.

The different types of Pilates

To meet the diverse needs of its enthusiasts, Pilates comes in several forms:

1. Floor Pilates: Also known as Mat Pilates, this type is practised on a mat, with the use of various accessories such as balls and elastic bands to increase the challenge and benefits of the exercises.
2. Pilates on the Reformer: This version uses a machine equipped with springs that offer variable resistance. The Reformer allows more varied movements and greater support for more advanced exercises.
3. Chair Pilates: This compact piece of equipment, specially designed for Pilates practice, offers more intense resistance and is ideal for targeted exercises and deep muscle-strengthening sessions.
