Pilates

Pilates Colleges and universities around the country are universally fighting against a common enemy hidden amongst freshman. It is known as the freshman fifteen. The average college freshman gains fifteen pounds in his or her first year of college. The way to combat the freshman fifteen is to develop good eating habits, to keep stress levels at a minimum, and to follow an exercise regimen. One type of exercise, called Pilates, would be the perfect program for a college student to incorporate into his or her exercise regimen. Pilates is a system of body conditioning designed to strengthen and lengthen the body’s muscles with emphasis on reducing incidence of back pain and injury. Pilates is an ideal anti-aging exercise because it tones and strengthens the muscles without the impact on joints and also reduces levels of stress in the body. The exercises are gentle on the joints yet challenging on the muscles and are suitable for anyone who wants to improve muscle strength and flexibility, improve coordination and balance, tone muscles, and improve posture. The Pilates system works the body as a whole by coordinating the upper and lower musculature with the body’s center. pilates, body, exercise, muscles, joseph, freshman, balance, fifteen, exercises, college, yoga, technique, movement, improve, dancers, both, world, way, war, universally, system, stress, rehabilitative, regimen, perfect, one, now, new, muscle, levels, joints, individuals, give, flexibility, fitness
