Try Pilates for a Change of Pace

By , About.com GuideApril 12, 2009

Follow me on:

I've tried many things in fitness training from long distance endurance training to sprints, high-intensity intervals, a dabble in yoga, and, of course, weight training. I like the variety and the challenge of different training modalities and sports. And it helps to develop your biomechanical and physiological systems across a wide spectrum of conditioning.

But one thing I haven't tried is Pilates, which is a growing fitness activity. To quote Marguerite Ogle, the About.com Pilates guide: "Pilates is a form of exercise, developed by Joseph Pilates, which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness in order to support efficient, graceful movement."

If you're looking for a change of pace, it might be worth giving it a go.
