Four Tips for the Pilates Beginner
Pilates is perhaps the most exciting and effective fitness trend to come around in a long time. Here are four tips to make your entry into the world of pilates as smooth as possible. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regime.
1. Go for a group experience.
Learning pilates on your own is certainly an option, but it is much easier to get a hang of this sometimes-challenging practice if you enroll in a class.
Check out your local gym for pilates offerings. Other places to check out include your local recreation center or community college. Better yet, look for a reputable pilates studio in your area. Wherever you choose to go, make sure the pilates instructor has received adequate training and is certified by a well known health, fitness or pilates organization.
Don't be afraid to ask: your body will thank you for it later! Another place that sometimes offers pilates to the general public are local rehabilitation centers. Joining a class can help you stay committed to your pilates practice. The camaraderie of group practice can deepen your experience and make your pilates practice fun.
2. If no classes are available or it's just not for you, try out a pilates video.
Search the Internet for reviews of pilates programs. There are literally dozens of home pilates workouts to choose from, and many of these are very good.
Even if you decide that home practice works best for your schedule or circumstances, consider signing up for one or two pilates classes at your local studio or gym. This will give you a firm grounding in the practice, and will help show you how the movements should be done to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness. The guidance and help you can receive from a professional instructor can be priceless.
3. Dress comfortably and use the right accessories.
Always dress comfortably for pilates. Wearing too tight clothing or uncomfortable clothing can lead to injury. Dress as you would for yoga: loose-fitting tops and sleek yet not too tight bottoms work best.
Most pilates are practiced without shoes. Purchase a practice mat to keep your body cushioned and secure throughout your pilates workout. Refrain from using more advanced accessories until you have grasped the basics of pilates.
4. Take caution to avoid injury.
If you are not sure how to complete a specific movement, refrain from trying to do it without professional supervision. Never attempt movements that are too challenging. You should not feel pain while practicing pilates.
If you have sustained injuries in the past or suffer from back pain, you must take extra precautions to avoid further injury. Consider practicing pilates at a therapy center. Pilates is currently being offered at many wellness centers and rehabilitating clinics. Take advantage of these resources.
Pilates can be greatly beneficial to those who suffer from chronic back or neck pain, and some forms of arthritis. Discuss your condition with your doctor and check to see if you can incorporate your pilates practice into any other physical therapy that you may be receiving.
Ok, that's my sharing for today, folks, have fun with Pilates and good health.
Cheers.
