Prevent Injuries with Our Pilates Classes in San Jose
For those who aren’t familiar with Pilates Reformer, a German named Joseph Pilates invented this innovative fitness system in the early 20th century. It focuses primarily on an individual’s core strength, awareness of breath, and the alignment of your spine. Pilates improves your posture, aids in the relief of aches and pains, and helps prevent injury by addressing muscular imbalances, incorrect or inefficient movements, and even overtraining.

5 Reasons Men Should Do Pilates
1. Develop often neglected muscle groups
Some of your muscles, like those that dominate your daily movements, are stronger than others, and a big part of Pilates is focusing on those muscles that don’t typically get a lot of attention. Pilates Reformer is similar to Mat training in that you consciously move in certain ways to build muscles that you don’t hit while lifting.
2. Improve flexibility
In general, the more muscle mass you have, the less flexible you are. But Pilates’ focus on stretching helps prevent injuries and muscle strains, and increases range of motion.
3. Build core strength
Every Pilates exercise focuses on using your core to power movement in your limbs. Pilates also hits your transverse abdominals, the base ab muscle under your six-pack.
4. Live more consciously
Pilates forces you to pay attention—you’ve got to focus on your breath while working through each movement and concentrating on proper form. After a Pilates session, you’ll feel refreshed and relaxed, which can even carry over into the next day if you’re lucky.
5. Have better sex
Pilates strengthens the core and the pelvic floor, and men who practice it have greater control of this region of the body — need we say more?
