There is no evidence that practising Pilates can contribute directly to an increase in height. However, we have clients who reported height increments due to their improved posture after practising Pilates for a period of time. We believe that the better posture developed through Pilates will definitely give you more confident strides and make you stand taller!
Some people have the misconception that Pilates is just a core workout. Pilates is much more than that as you will work your whole body in the exercises. Your abdominal muscles will definitely be used as you work on stability and balance in Pilates. As you learn to engage and pull in your abdominal muscles in your everyday movement, your stomach can become slimmer and flatter.
Pilates is not focused on repetition nor working your muscles to fatigue in a short period of time, unlike what planks and crunches call for. Instead, you will be engaging your abdominal muscles for the whole workout as you balance and lift your body through the different Pilates exercises. The best part about working your abdominal muscles this way is that you are strengthening them for a prolonged period of time and through many types of movement, not just holding it in one single pose for a few minutes.
Effective weight loss requires a holistic approach that involves changes in lifestyle, diet and exercise. However, maintaining a consistent workout with Pilates will allow you to develop a leaner and stronger body.
In our studio, you get to use many apparatus which provide you feedback to engage the right muscles. Furthermore, your instructor will be guiding and challenging you, checking your form and making sure the exercises are done correctly to extract the best effects that each Pilates exercise is meant to achieve for your body. The workout is tailored specifically for you to improve your fitness.
