What is ‘Pilates‘? How is it different from yoga? Why is it popular among idols?

Pilates is an exercise that helps organize the body and breath that is linked to movement and helps control the core of the body. It focuses on using the core muscles and back. Which creates strength and increases flexibility for the body. It also adjusts and takes care of the body to be more proportionate. In addition, Pilates also helps correct hunchback, relieves back pain, office syndrome, and makes our personality look better.

Types of Pilates

• Use equipment

     It is the use of equipment ranging from small to large in size. The most popular are Ball, Flex Band, Fitness Circle, Reformer Machine, Cadillac, Wunda Chair and V2Max machines. It emphasizes exercises that resist gravity to make our muscles flexible. It can also be played with a cloth hanging from a height, using the cloth as a support to do various postures. So it’s like a combination of yoga, Pilates and gymnastics.

• No equipment used

     It is the use of only a ‘mat’. Pilates mats are different from yoga mats in that they are larger, thicker and softer than yoga mats. Therefore, they focus on postures that are similar to yoga, but they focus on the core and abdomen, so you can do it yourself at home.
