| Smooth Path to a New Body Try True Pilates for a great workout 
Try True Pilates and "You will feel better in 10 sessions, look better in 20 sessions and have a completely new body in 30 sessions," according to its founder, Joseph Pilates.If this sounds like a good way to kick off your New Year's weight-loss goals, enroll in M.A.C. West's True Pilates class. Chances are, you'll become obsessed with the popular, new exercise. After all, it focuses on your "powerhouse," a part of the body most people want to sculpt: the abdominals, buttocks, back and thigh muscles. By completing a series of repetitive exercise, Pilates draws strength from the "powerhouse" and builds on additional muscle. This helps support the rest of the muscles in the skeletal system. Joseph Pilates invented the system of exercise to improve posture, balance, flexibility and grace through alignment of the body, stretching and strengthening. Some use the Pilates method to tone their bodies, while others use it to heal from injuries. Click here for more information | |
