Joseph Pilates first introduced his concept
to the world in 1910! Any exercise routine that is still getting amazing
results over 100 years later must have something about it!! Our Pilates
programme is really taking off at the studio now and if you’re wondering how it
can help you here are a few reasons why we think you should give it a try...
It’s
not just for your abs.
Pilates stretches and challenges every
muscle allowing you to tone, strengthen and firm those tough to reach parts!
It’s
great for stress relief
Pilates allows you to feel calmer, sleep
better and be more relaxed. It improves your immune system and also lowers your
blood pressure.
Pilates
reduces the risk of injury
The movements involved in Pilates work
every muscle group creating greater core strength and thereby reducing injury
in other sports and day to day activities.
It
improves you posture
Good posture doesn’t just make you look
taller and slimmer,
it will prevent neck pain, back pain, it allows for
improved
movement and also reduces referred pain throughout the body.
It
improves your breathing
Joseph Pilates once said “Inefficient
breathing lies at the root of poor health.” An inability to use oxygen sufficiently
places unnecessary stress on the body and not being able to properly expel
carbon dioxide creates an acidic environment in which disease and ill health
thrive.
It’s
not just for girls!
It appears that women are more aware for
the benefits of Pilates, but guys, I have to tell you, you’re missing out... Although our core training beliefs at All
About You are very similar to those of Pilates we all still certainly feel the
affects of one of Antonia or Blanca’s classes!
So
what are you waiting for?
We now have seven mat classes per week, 10
small group reformer sessions each week as well as numerous one to one sessions
at the studio in Highgate. You can view our class time table HERE or CONTACT US

“In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 sessions you will see the
difference and in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body” Joseph Pilates
