Reformer Pilates Tower Bridge

Have you ever asked yourself why Reformer Pilates exercise is becoming so popular? Well, the enormous mental, health, and physical benefits embedded in it make it an outstanding exercise for everyone across the globe. In fact, some people go the extra mile of making Pilates exercises their lifestyle.

Interestingly, this form of exercise is for both young and old. Thousands of people in London and around the world are practicing it daily.

So, in case you may be wondering how the Reformer Pilates exercises, as well as barrel Pilates routines, may be helpful to your athletic performance, here are some notable benefits you will gain from it:

Benefits Of Pilates

1. Improved body posture

The challenge of poor body posture is becoming an increasing health concern as many people spend more time on computers for meetings, conferences, and lectures. Bad habits such as slouching at the chair can result in neck ache, backache, and headache.

The aches are due to the uneven use and length of muscles. Some muscles of the body become over used like pectoral and front shoulders while others spend hours in a static stretched position like the neck, back and glutes. However, with a well-planned reformer Pilates program, your body can be straightened to improve body posture.

2. Increase in Body Flexibility

Do you know that a body that does not have uniform development of all muscles cannot achieve true flexibility? This is very true. If you carry out proper exercise using Pilates barrels, sure, you are going to achieve a high level of body flexibility.

Though some people use the excuse of not being flexible enough to practice Pilates, the truth is that Pilates exercises using barrel or reformers improves body flexibility.

3. Better Blood Circulation

When the body is flexible, blood circulates through the body freely. This encourages the proper functioning of the organs and healthier skin. Moreover, it promotes proper cell growth benefitting key organs of the body.

With regular Pilate exercises, the body can have proper blood circulation without any hindrance.

4. Boosts Mental Health

When blood circulates through the body properly, it creates a mind and body relationship. With this, there is a focus, concentration, and alignment that boost mental health.

Regular and proper practice balances the body, aligns body posture, and develops muscles.

5. Spine Stability and Core Strength

When you consider different types of fitness exercise, you hardly find anyone that focus primarily in strengthening your core while putting as little pressure and stress in your spine like Pilate does.

Interestingly, every time you practice this exercise, it either directly or indirectly involves your backside, and this is most common when exercising using barrels.

The spinal alignment improves due to the improvement of the muscles around the back, glutes and core. So, engaging in Pilates using Ladder Barrel and Reformer regularly will improve your core strength and protect your spinal cord. Safety first.

6. Injury Prevention

Considering that the Pilates exercise develops core strength, it protects the body from being fragile and susceptible to injury. Interestingly, this applies to both young and seniors.

7. Lower Blood Pressure

Another interesting benefit of Pilates exercise is that it contributes to low blood pressure. It is a better way to treat hypertension without using drugs. With this exercise, the body can relax, helping you improve your sleep quality. Better sleep, better recovery.

8. Facilitates Stress and Anxiety Reduction

Despite being a very low impact form of activity Pilates can still contribute to improve your body composition by reducing the level of fat and cholesterol while preserving lean mass and healthy organs.

It can be a great contributor to reduce stress on the muscles as well as anxiety.
