BÁSICO
Pilates is an exercise method that focuses on strengthening the body, developing flexibility and improving posture. There are different levels of Pilates, from beginner to advanced. Basic Pilates is suitable for those who are just starting to practice Pilates or who want to establish a solid foundation of skills and knowledge in this exercise method.
In a basic Pilates class, you typically perform gentle, low-impact exercises that focus on body control, breathing, and strengthening deep muscles. Some common exercises include the plank position, the hundred, the cat and dog position, and the bridge. These exercises are primarily performed on the floor, although accessories such as the Pilates ball, resistance bands, and Pilates rings can also be used to intensify the workout.
The goal of basic pilates is to develop a strong, stable base in the core of the body (abdominals, lower back and pelvis) and improve body alignment, flexibility and muscle strength. Special attention is also paid to controlled breathing and fluid, controlled movement. As basic pilates practitioners gain more strength and control, they can advance to more challenging levels of pilates.
Basic Pilates is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels as the exercises can be modified and adapted to individual needs. However, it is recommended that you consult a health professional or qualified Pilates instructor before beginning any exercise program to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for you.
