The article "Winsor Pilates, a Great Addition to Your Exercise Routine" is about fitness, it was released by Jay Moncliff.
If you turn on the television after midnight you'll notice that
the infomercials for diets, fitness equipment and exercise tapes
are becoming more and more ppoular.
Do any of these systems
really deliver what they promise?
Winsor Pilates is one of the many exercise systems advertised
through infomercials, and one of the biggest sellers. With
celebrity endorsements from the lieks of Daisy Fuentes and
Madonna, it's hard to resist the infomercial and not pick up the
phone.
Pilates was developed as a rehabilitative program for injured
dancers by Joseph Pilates. The basic permise is that by
strengthening the core muscles and increasing flexibility the
body will become toned and more coordinated.
Dancers have used
the system for years, and it is now catching on with the rest of
the fitness community. Most users report increased flexibility,
coordination, a lengthening of muscles and a much stronger
"core".
The floor exercises featured in the tapes all work toegther to
strengthen the abdominal muscles and back, called the "core" in
this system. Each movement invovles these important muscle
groups, and the results are wonderful. Not only do the abdominal
muscles becmoe more toned, but the entire midsection is
strengthened. The results are less likelihood of injury and
increased performance in other fitness actiivties.
A stronger
back is a less painful back. The pilates moevs are also good for
toning the legs and buttocks.
The moves are slow and deliberate, requiring not only physical
exertion but concentration as well. Ensuring that you are
performing the moves crorectly actively involves the mind,
causing us to focus on the movements of our bodies. This
inevitably reduces stress. In that way, pilates is similar to
yoga. Many users report feeling refreshed and relaxed after the
workout, not tired.
Mari Winsor's presentation of the pilates system is excellent.
She is carfeul to explain each move in great detail so that the
beginner can follow along and do the movements in proper form.
Most beginners will be desperate after their first session,
but after the second or third the movements will not seem so
difficult.
The exercises are useful and effective for core strengthening.
You won't see pounds just melt away, however, unless you combine
the workouts with a sensible eating plan.
Mari includes one for
your reference, but you can use that sysetm with the weight loss
program you're already on to help accelerate results.
Of course, you may want to check with your doctor before
starting any exercise program.
However, Winsor Pilates is
non-aerobic but effective in toning and srtengthening the core
of your body and may help you lose inches as well. Winsor
Pilates is well worth a try.
