🔥6 REASONS TO ADD LIGHT WEIGHTS/RESISTANCE TO YOUR PILATES WORKOUT🔥
1. STRENGTH💪
The primary benefit to adding weights to Pilates exercises is to add tone and strength to all muscle groups particularly core muscles including back, stomach, shoulders & chest.
2. ADAPTABILITY🔥
We use either small dumb bells or weighted balls around 1-3lb in order to ensure correct alignment. Smaller weights in Pilates allow you to control & stabilize your joints’ range of movement.
3. STABILITY🔥
Many of the exercises allow you to explore your individual range of movement & learn how to recognize your own stabilizers.
4. PRECISION🔥
Adding weights to Pilates heightens your focus of your body positioning making you really concentrate on the precision of each move.
5. ENERGY🔥
Adding extra challenge will help you exert more energy therefore burn more calories.
6. KEEPING IT FRESH🔥
As with all my Pilates classes, I aim to continually add new variations to traditional exercises by offering a full range of small equipment to keep you on your toes.
Pilates aims to create long, lean balanced muscles which build overall functional fitness.
