Why Your Desk Job May be the Best Reason to Take up Pilates

_B2A5719Did you know how many hours the average person sits at their desk every week?

The average Australian is sedentary for up to 7–10 hours per day. This does not include sleeping. Sedentary can refer to sitting or lying down at work or home, for study or travel. This translates into 70 hours per week and over a whopping 3,640 hours per year.

Pilates is the perfect lifestyle approach to exercise. It is an exercise method which emphasises alignment, as the basis for movement, by creating long lean muscles, building strength and flexibility, without adding bulk. It is a total body workout, which embodies the six Pilates principles of centering, control, concentration, precision, breath and flowing movement. It is a perfect way to work the body from the inside out. It improves core strength by learning correct breathing technique, muscle activation and recruitment patterning, as well as boosting your general health.

Wouldn’t you love even a little of what Pilates can offer?

  • Stand taller
  • Feel more energised and connected to your body
  • Think with greater clarity and focus
  • Move more freely with greater balance and with enhanced coordination

The benefits are endless. Under the guidance of a qualified Pilates practitioner, it is a safe exercise program which genuinely tones and reshapes the body without the threat of injury.
