Basics of Pilates
Every Pilates movement, when done correctly, starts in your core (abdomen), stays in your core, and ends in your core. This is the basics of Pilates. A stronger core:
-
Allows a gymnast to hold a handstand and a yogi to hold a headstand
-
Allows the martial artist to kick through a board and a dancer to leap into the air
-
Puts more oomph in your tennis swing, more speed to your run, and more control in your ski slalom
-
Creates power in your midsection and shrinks middle-age spread, helping you to accomplish goals you never before dreamed possible.
