Power up with Pilates If you’re looking to get in shape in the New Year, focus 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 core and builds on additional muscle. This helps support the rest of the muscles in the skeletal system. M.A.C. West will introduce a new six-week Pilates session on Tuesday, Feb. 6. The 45-minute classes will run on Tuesdays from 5:20 to 6:05 p.m. until March 13. A mandatory introductory class will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 30 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.Click here for more information |
