How can Pilates assist your heart in performing its functions more efficiently, and do so while relieving it from undue strain?
Simple. Most of the exercises are performed while you are in a sitting or reclining position (recumbent) both of which, contrary to exercises performed in an upright position, are naturally less strenuous.
Also, Pilates has these things called Principles (which youʼll learn about in your classes at QPilates), the understanding and following of which will a) demonstrate why this exercise is so unique and b) assist your heart in performing its functions more efficiently.
The two principles Iʼd most like to draw your attention to are the Principles of Breath and Centering. The circulation system is inextricably linked to the respiratory system (heart pumping oxygen, see?) therefore correct and expansive breathing both affects and is affected by the heart.
In Pilates, it is believed that all movement comes from a “strong core” which we refer to as the Powerhouse. This Powerhouse conveniently houses and surrounds all of your vital organs, including, yup you guessed it, your powerful heart.
I could go on all day about it but I wonʼt. My bottom line is, Pilates will help YOUR heart. Come to a QPilates class, learn more and see for yourself.
