10 things to know 10 things to know about Pilates By Luby Chow / 7 Sep 2021 "Looking to get started with Pilates? Here is a beginner’s guide to help you understand everything about Pilates." Expertise shared by MySomerton’s Pilates instructor Marzia Troiano What is Pilates? Pilates is a form of exercise and body conditioning which concentrates on building strength in the core muscles. The movements in Pilates are controlled and interconnected integrating the mind and body, resulting in better posture, balance and flexibility. Pilates is not restricted to specific body parts, but it trains the body as an integrated whole. It can dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels and performs. Who invented Pilates? Originally called Contrology, the method of Pilates is named after its founder, Joseph Herbertus Pilates. He was a carpenter and a gymnast. He created the complete exercise of Pilates in the 1920s as a rehabilitation program for soldiers. In 1926, he moved to the United States and opened the first Pilates studio in New York. What are the different forms of Pilates? There are two main types of Pilates: mat Pilates and reformer Pilates. Mat Pilates refers to a floor-based Pilates performed on a mat. Your body weight provides resistance against gravity. It is all about learning to control your own muscles to improve strength and tone muscles. As mat Pilates is practiced without other equipment, it is generally regarded as the best option for beginners. However, keep in mind that advanced mat Pilates classes are conceived more challenging than reformer Pilates! Reformer is a traditional Pilates apparatus originally used by Joseph Pilates. The modern reformer is a bed-like structure with a sliding carriage, resistance springs, a foot bar and straps to regulate tension and resistance. Reformer Pilates may seem to be scary and complex at first, but it is believed to be much more effective and fun compared to mat Pilates. There are also hybrid Pilates classes that combine the two of them. Book your Pilates sessions with Marzia! Can beginners do Pilates? With many modifications, Pilates is suitable for most people of any age and fitness level. Be sure to check with a healthcare professional and let your Pilates instructor know if you have any medical conditions or previous injuries. What are the benefits of Pilates? By practicing Pilates regularly and incorporating it into your workout routine, you will experience a handful of health benefits. Here are some of the typical examples: • Developing core strength The core muscles of the body are deep muscles of the back, abdomen and pelvic floor. We rely on these muscles to support a strong, supple back, good posture and efficient movement patterns. A nice side benefit is that strengthening your core promotes flat abdominals. • Improving posture Pilates will teach you to gain and maintain a good posture. The exercises require that your body is always in alignment, keeping you aware of your posture. It trains your body to express itself with strength and harmony. • Flexibility It increases the range of motions related to your joints, strengthening and stretching your muscles. Your body will become more flexible - this is important to avoid injuries from falls. Regular practice not only relieves aches and pains but will make every movement feel easier. • Balance Through the mind connection taught in Pilates you will become more aware of how your body moves. Therefore, you will have a better physical balance through a good posture and restoring a body-mind balance. • Reducing stress Pilates helps calm your mind and focus more inward, on the breathing and on the movement of your body. This is an excellent way to relieve stress! Book your Pilates sessions with Marzia! What is the difference between Pilates and yoga? It is a frequently asked question by Pilates and yoga beginners. Pilates and yoga are often considered similar, as they are both low-impact body-mind disciplines focusing on balance and stability. However, Pilates and yoga are different in many ways. Pilates was invented by Joseph Pilates mainly for physical rehabilitation. Yoga has a very long history from India, with a purpose of bring peace to the mind and body. The main goal of Pilates practice is to strengthen the core, and that of yoga is to improve the overall wellbeing together with postures, breath control and meditation. This is where the biggest difference comes in. Yoga has a focus of spiritual connection, which is something more mental, while Pilates is more about body alignment to control the body precisely. As for body movement, Pilates is generally more on relaxing and strengthening muscles, while yoga focuses on improving the flexibility of the body and joints. What to bring to a Pilates class? Most Pilates instructors provide all the equipment you need, Pilates mats for example. You can always prepare your own mat if you like. What to wear then? Flexibility is the key. Wear comfortable yet body hugging clothing so that your instructor can observe your form clearly. Form-fitting shorts and yoga pants can be great options. Make sure you bring your water bottle and towel; you will sweat a lot! What are the rules of Pilates etiquette? Each studio or instructor might have different guidelines, but here are some of the general rules. Arrive early. Put your phone away during the class. Avoid embellishments and makeup, as you might leave scratches or residues on the equipment. Lastly, clean up your equipment and return all props properly after use. Book your Pilates sessions with Marzia! How long do classes normally last? Pilates classes are usually 45 to 60 minutes long. It depends on whether you have one-to-one sessions, virtual zoom lessons, or group classes. Joining a private session, digital or in-person, is an ideal way for beginners to learn the fundamentals, let your instructor observe your body and movement, and customize an exercise plan for your goals. Group classes may involve both mat and reformer Pilates, with the use of small equipment, such as overball, theraband, foam roller and weights. How to choose a Pilates class best for me? There are many qualified and experienced Pilates professionals out there, but who is the one? It is more about choosing the right Pilates instructor best suited for you than the best instructor. You should first ask yourself, why do you want to learn Pilates in the first place? Do you want to lose weight or simply want to stay active with your friends? It is very important to get an instructor that understands your goals and helps you achieve them. Your instructor should be engaging and patient to keep you comfortable and motivated throughout your Pilates journey. Book your Pilates sessions with Marzia!

Šest najčešćih mitova o pilatesu Pilates je jedan od najčešćih oblika treninga za one kojima je dosadio trening s utezima. Pilates odlično aktivira cijelo tijelo i vrlo je učinkovit u sagorijevanju kalorija i toniranju mišića. Mnogi ljudi imaju pogrešnu predodžbu o pilatesu, budući da ga nisu nikad probali, pa ni ne znaju o čemu se zapravo radi. U nastavku vam donosimo nekoliko najčešćih zabluda o pilatesu. Pilates je isto što i joga Netočno! Iako ima nekih sličnosti, istina je da joga i pilates imaju prilično različit pristup zdravlju i wellnessu. Pokreti su dosta različiti, a tehnike disanja su različite poput dana i noći. Joga se uglavnom usredotočuje na vježbe na tlu i na podlozi, dok će vas pilates natjerati da se više krećete uokolo i koristi i dosta različite opreme. Pilates i joga su otprilike slični kao joggiranje i maratonsko trčanje. Pilates je samo za žene Jeste li znali da je muškarac osmislio pilates? Joseph Pilates osmislio je program treninga koji je zapravo bio namijenjen vojnicima i policajcima, ali se popularizirao kao rehabilitacijski program plesača u New Yorku. Muškarci koji prakticiraju pilates su u odličnoj formi zahvaljujući ovom kvalitetnom fitness programu. Pilates se usredotočuje samo na trup I dok je kod pilatesa dosta naglašena snaga trupa i kontrola njegovih mišića, osmišljen je kako bi aktivirao cijelo tijelo. Program će pokrenuti sve mišiće vašeg tijela, te vam osigurati više funkcionalne snage i bolju fizičku kondiciju. Pilates je pretežak/prelagan Ako ih izvodite pravilno, vježbe neće biti lagane. Pilates je osmišljen kako bi bio izazovan za osobe svih razina fizičke spremnosti, i svaki pravilno odrađeni trening će sigurno biti izazovan. S druge strane, oni kojima se čini da je pilates pretežak, možda ne rade prave vježbe. Postoje treninzi osmišljeni za totalne početnike, ali i svi ostali – bez obzira na razinu fizičke pripremljenosti – mogu pronaći odličan trening za sebe. Pilates se previše usredotočuje na fleksibilnost Možda ste zabrinuti da vam pilates neće ići ukoliko baš niste fleksibilni, no istina je da će vam pilates poboljšati fleksibilnost. Redovitim treninzima povećat ćete svoju fleksibilnost u jednakoj mjeri kao da ste se bavili jogom. Fleksibilnost je vrlo važna za vaš opće fizičko stanje budući da fleksibilni ljudi imaju bolju kontrolu nad svojim tijelom. Pilates je fokusiran na povećanje snage ali i na poboljšanje fleksibilnosti, i ukoliko ga isprobate otkrit ćete da je to dobro uravnotežen program. Pilates je samo za mlade ili ljude u formi Svatko se može baviti pilatesom neovisno o fizičkoj spremi ili dobi, i zbog toga mnogi klubovi provode programe namijenjene upravo starijoj populaciji. Pilates može također poslužiti i kao rehabilitacijski program, pomažući u oporavku od ozljeda. Program je koristan i za one s problemima s artritisom, skoliozom, bolovima u leđima, koljenima i raznim drugim zdravstvenim tegobama. Savjet za one koji se brinu da ih slaba razina fizičke pripremljenosti može spriječiti u sudjelovanju u ovom uravnoteženom programu je – ne brinite se! Pilates će vam pomoći na vašem fitness putovanju, i može vas odvesti od početka, pa sve do željenog cilja. Ne brinite ako ste u slabijoj formi ili ako baš niste fleksibilni – pilates je odličan način da se dovedete u formu i poboljšate svoju kondiciju.
