About Pilates

Pilates is a mind-body practice with a MET value of 3.0. While the calorie burn may be lower than vigorous cardio, these practices provide essential benefits for flexibility, balance, stress management, and overall wellbeing.

Benefits

  • Improves flexibility and range of motion
  • Reduces stress and promotes relaxation
  • Enhances balance and body awareness
  • Supports recovery from intense training

Getting Started

Begin with beginner-level classes or guided videos. Focus on proper breathing and form rather than achieving advanced positions. Consistency is more important than intensity with mind-body practices.

Integration Tips

Incorporate 2-3 sessions per week alongside your regular training. Use these practices on rest days to support active recovery and maintain flexibility.
