- Doing Pilates prior and during pregnancy can help to increase your core strength through deep pelvic floor exercises.
These exercises can help through the birthing process and to decrease the low back pain you are feeling during your pregnancy.
Pilates exercises help to improve your posture, in turn, decreasing the pain in your low back from carrying the extra weight.
Weight Loss – A Pilates exercise program can help you to build lean muscle tissue decreasing the ratio of fat to muscle, thereby increasing your metabolism.
Why is having more lean muscle tissue so important?
Because the more muscle tone you have on your body the more fuel (fat/carbohydrates) you burn at rest and all the time.
Kids
– Pilates is fun! Whether you are doing mat Pilates or on the equipment you are doing things you never felt possible and getting in shape. Kids love to be tested and asked to try something new.
I love to do Pilates with my toddler and nieces. They look at me rolling around on the floor and call me crazy and then they proceed to do what I am doing.
Before long we are laughing and having fun rolling like a ball, doing the swan dive, the mermaid, and especially the seal!
Oh, and they love the names of all the crazy animals!
