Pilates enthusiasts all across the globe are enjoying their workouts in a place that would seem absurd until recently – at home.
It used to be a person had to go to a high-end studio or a health club to take part in Pilates. The equipment is too expensive, big and bulky for most homes . Thankfully, there is something that changed everything – mat workouts. Home users have discovered Pilates mat videos and various DVDs which give them refreshing full body workouts.
You can be very flexible when doing Pilates are home as there are no schedules that you have to meet. However, you will need a certain amount of self-discipline to set aside a block of time for three sessions a week.
Before you begin a Pilates program in your home, you should take a couple of classes in order to familiarize yourself with the Pilates exercises. A qualified instructor can demonstrate the proper techniques of movement and breathing.
You will want to begin your Pilates exercises on a floor mat. They are popular for two main reasons:
- They are inexpensive.
- The space needed to store a mat is minimal.
You will find a wealth of videos on YouTube and DVDs to choose from. As you will find, many of them include variations that will accommodate beginners as well as advanced students of Pilates. Plus, some of them will include exercises where you will use small inexpensive accessories like balls, rollers, weights and rings. These will add interest and variety to your workout.
There’s No Place Like Home!
