Key Areas of Fitness

Flexibility Training

Classic Pilates moves and modern forms incorporate stretching exercises into flows to develop control of the body and improve joint mobility. To develop the perfect form, Pilates flow sequences elongate and strengthen the muscles through continuous and varied movement.

This is a great way to enhance your body’s range of motion. It also reduces risks of injury in more strenuous aspects of your workout or for everyday challenges. Whole body flexibility is a core aspect of Pilates flows; stretching and mobility the particular focus of many matwork flows. This is especially true for workouts that use resistance bands or Magic Circle Equipment. A good introduction to this type of training is Emma White’s Flexi Girl short flow for a fun, accessible full-body flexibility workout.

Muscle Toning Workouts

Contemporary Pilates targets and tones the muscles for a dynamic body Pilates workout. Toning and strength goals are common for many individuals going into Pilates, to sculpt the body for a defined, lean physique.

Strength-based Pilates flows combine resistance training, bodyweight exercises, and precise movement. Therefore, it evenly develops muscles evenly throughout the body, not just in certain areas. Pilates is a controlled and focused workout regime that targets the whole body or specific muscle groups including the abdominals, back, pelvic floor, arms, legs, and glutes.

Workouts with weights and dumbbells feature in some of our most popular on demand Pilates series alongside flexibility and Pilates reformer moves. Check out the Pilates Strong series of short to medium flows to target specific areas of the body that are central to your fitness choices with expert instruction from Korin Nolan, Natalie Scrutton, and Ben Stott.

Cardiovascular Health

Longer Pilates workouts engage the cardiovascular system in unique ways. Dynamic Pilates can use faster-paced movements as opposed to the slow burner. This means that they provide greater aerobic benefits of improving blood circulation and raising your heart rate.

Endurance training as part of your Pilates workout can give you the benefits of exercise like running or cycling, while also providing varied physical movements that engage flexibility and toning. This approach to fitness choices is a reflection of how contemporary Pilates, and particularly Dynamic Pilates is always developing to enhance overall fitness and embrace various fitness challenges in unique ways.

Are you looking for a cardio workout challenge with expert direction and muscle targeting? Korin’s Circuit Strength Pilates series is a great way to combine strength training with your cardio workouts.
