Hi,
This is an excellent article and highlights a problem not many people pay a great deal of attention to. One of the benefits of Pilates is that the exercises are balanced (or should be if the instructor is qualified) so the muscle imbalances mentioned in the article aren't an issue. In fact practicing Pilates on a regular basis will help to correct any muscle imbalances you already have.
All the best,
Carol
IF THERE is one glaring false assumption made by the fitness industry in its attempts to lure us to the nearest gym, it is that we sign up as members purely to get fit and healthy. What really drives those who pay a monthly subscription to these temples of bodily worship is vanity.But what happens when the good intentions backfire? What if one step-up too many leaves you with calf muscles like footballs or non-stop spinning gives you thunder-thighs?
