Are you looking for a beginner-friendly workout that targets all your muscles? If that’s a yes, then you should try Pilates. You’ve probably heard of Pilates but don’t focus your attention on them or are just intimidated by the huge Pilate machines you see on social media. The truth is, Pilates is designed to accommodate even complete beginners since they are the only exercise that works even the littlest of your muscles.  

 

In this episode of the Live Your Personal Best podcast, I speak with Lesley Logan, a Pilates instructor, and expert. Listen in to learn how you can practice Pilates as your workout routine and save time while living a healthier and better life.

  • How Pilates engages the deepest and little muscles that you don’t normally engage.
  • The time advantage of Pilates which helps work all muscles in a span of 30 minutes.
  • How Pilates helps you reset your thoughts and form a better mindset.
  • How they help you become patient and be content with whatever you’re doing.
  • The importance of having a one-on-one consultation before doing a reformer Pilates class.
  • The benefits of cross-training with Pilates as an athlete.
