Pilates

Why is posture relevant to my workouts?
Remember when your mom told you to stand up straight? Well, she was on to something, even though the delivery was annoying. We'd like to think mom would be proud of us because a great deal about pilates is about improving posture by creating a "cast of muscle" and a "shock absorber" around your spine, preventing the jamming and squeezing that comes with staying active, aging, or injury. There's no way around it...without a strong and supple spine and core, it's a matter of time before injury, or just plain exhaustion, takes over.
