"Pilates with Light Weights and Bands" - with Melanie Morrissette
Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Group Fitness Supervisor Fitness Trainer, Certified Yoga and Pilates Instructor, Osteofit Certified
The wonderful thing about Pilates is that it will improve your overall health, sense of wellbeing, strength and flexibility while doing the least damage to your body in the process.
For awhile, boot camps and intense get-fit-quick programs were all the rage, but the truth is that pain should be listened to, not ignored. Studies show that the best path to long term, sustainable overall health improvement relies on a regular routine that is both do-able, and benefits more than causes harm.
Exercise bands were born to be used with Pilates. They provide a smooth, even, controlled resistance. Muscle tearing, and the soreness that comes with it, can be avoided.
Practicing Pilates with light weights and bands lets you increase the intensity smoothly, and as you are ready for it.
