FITVINE MAG - MAY/JUNE 2019

PILATES FOR EVERYONE
Regular exercise can help to prevent
feelings of stress and anxiety,
and can promote a more
positive outlook and energy flow. This
is all thanks to the release of serotonin,
a feel-good chemical in our bodies.
So what type of exercise is a good
option for everyone? Pilates. Pilates
is a form of exercise that concentrates
on strengthening the body,
improving fitness and boosting overall
wellbeing. It focuses on posture,
balance and flexibility, helping us
develop a stronger core, flexibility
and an evenly-conditioned body.
Pilates also strengthens our mind
by allowing us to separate ourselves
from our busy lives, focusing solely
on our movements and helping us
get that feel-good endorphin buzz.
Pilates PT, set up by award-winning
fitness expert Hollie Grant, is a fitness
provider in the UK, boasting
studios in London, at-home training
sessions and a holistic online fitness
and wellbeing plan for women to
use around the world. The Pilates PT
Method – their unique combination
of Pilates and high intensity interval
training – is all about focusing on
how your body performs, not how it
looks, and they believe this is the key
to lifelong wellness and happiness.
Pilates really is for everyone.
Whatever your ability, fitness or size,
you can improve your wellbeing by
practising Pilates. It’s easily adaptable
so whether you’re not very flexible or
you lack confidence in your balance,
Pilates will help you improve your
fitness, body, mind and self-esteem.
Exercise, and Pilates in particular, is
for everyone, and everyone can benefit
from improved mental health,
athletic performance and functionality
when they exercise regularly.
If you want to know more about Pilates,
the Pilates PT team and Hollie Grant
will be at FitFest Oxford on 15 th June.
Hollie will be speaking on the Mental
Health Panel, and her team will be
hosting a Pilates PT Method class.
