Pilates: 9 Longevity Benefits of This Physical Workout

25 Feb, 2020 | Personal Health, Social & Recreation

In the 1920s, Joseph Pilates created a now extremely popular form of exercise. He came up with a series of movements that not only incorporated stretching but also encouraged the body to build muscle. He coined the fitness approach after himself, calling it Pilates and it wasn’t long before this unique workout grew in popularity over the years, with over 10 million active practitioners.

While Pilates shares some similarities with yoga, particularly the emphasis on the mind-body connection, Pilates places stronger importance on balance, flexibility as well as muscle toning. In fact, Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise – that uses various apparatus – that not only provides a unique workout, but it also provides a number of health benefits that are sure to boost your longevity.
