To build strength, most people assume you have to heave heavy weights, like a pair of dumbbells or using barbells, but this isn’t true. If you’re looking for a more gentle approach to strength training, using nothing more than your body weight, then Pilates is a fantastic option, and this 8-move beginner workout is just what you need to help you get started.
According to Puregym: “Some of the benefits of Pilates include increasing the range of motion in your joints, building stronger more resilient muscles, improving flexibility and mobility, and easing the effects of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).” It's also renowned for its core strengthening benefits too, which can not only help us more efficiently but reduce the likelihood of injury and improve our athletic performance.
