Pilates is a series of exercises that strengthens your core muscles, increases balance and flexibility and improves your posture.
Q
Do I have to be fit to do Pilates?
A
The exercises can be modified for beginners and advanced people. No matter what your fitness and strength level you will be able to enjoy Pilates.
Q
What is the difference between Pilates and yoga?
A
Although both focus on the same type of goals (strength, flexibility, posture), they use different techniques. While yoga stretches more and hold a position for a longer amount of time, Pilates is more strengthening and focuses specifically on core (abdominal) muscles.
Q
How long will it take for me to see results?
A
Although most people feel a difference in their muscles and body after only a few sessions, this all depends on the effort you making during classes. If you make a conscious decision to perform all exercises to the best of your ability, you will feel the difference very quickly.
Q
What should I wear to Pilates classes?
A
Comfortable clothes that’s easy to move in.
Remember that it is always best to start with 3 one on one sessions before you join a Pilates group class. Read about the different classes offered at the Linda studio in Fourways and choose a class that will give you the results you want!
