Pilates for Men
 

The total solution for strength, flexibility and power….

Men's Pilates UK

Real men pump iron don’t they?

Try telling that to the New Zealand All Blacks who include Pilates as part of their fitness programme.   Professional sportsmen both abroad and closer to home use pilates as part of their injury recovery, fitness and well being programmes.   Premier footballers, the England Cricket Team, Olympic Athletes to name but a few are well versed in the benefits of the pilates programme.
 
The best news of all for men is that you don’t have to be a sportsman, professional or otherwise, to enjoy the benefits of pilates.
 
Pilates is an effective form of exercise because it develops your core strength and improves your posture and that’s something that men can benefit from just as much as women.
 
According to Dr Tom Crisp, a sports and orthopaedic specialist at BUPA Wellness, the best way for men to improve posture and develop muscle strength is to attack the body’s core muscles – those around the trunk area.   He says “the core muscles that fitness fanatics keep talking about act like a corset around your trunk, take pressure off your back and pull all the other abdominal muscles into the right place”.
 
Those core muscles which pilates targets so perfectly can help alleviate back problems and help develop a flat stomach. Two things that top the list of many men’s health and fitness wish list!
 

So remember, real men do pilates.   So why not join them today!

Men's Pilates is a new initiative designed to encourage men to include pilates as part of their healthy lifestyle.
