The Pilates Method is an exercise form based on developing functional strength by performing specific moves. Joseph Pilates, the founder of the method, created a number of machines with which to execute these moves as well as a repertoire of exercises to be performed without machines. You can do a significant amount of Pilates exercises on a mat without using expensive or bulky equipment.
Versatility - One benefit of the Pilates mat repertoire is its versatility. For work on the apparatus, you need access to Pilates machines, but you can practice mat work almost anywhere. You don't need to take a break from your workouts while traveling, as you can easily perform Pilates mat moves in a hotel room. You can also do mat work at home as well as the in the gym.
Cost - Pilates mat work can be a less-expensive option than other forms of exercise. Group mat sessions are much more affordable than private one-on-one equipment sessions with a personal trainer or certified Pilates instructor. You can also supplement formal study by doing mat work at home.
Challenges - Mat work can range from relatively easy moves for beginners to extremely difficult moves for more advanced, experienced practitioners. Pilates mat work utilizes the "core" or abdominal muscles, and it features moves lying on the back, sides, stomach as well as standing. As you progress, you can integrate small apparatus, such as a fitness ball, fitness circle, weights, resistance bands or foam rollers, to increase the difficulty of the work. You can also find Pilates mat work materials for working on such specific issues as Pilates for pregnancy, osteoporosis, back pain, cardiovascular fitness and weight loss.
Tip: Add a fitness ball to your Pilates mat work to increase the level of difficulty.Cross-Training - Strength training enthusiasts find Pilates mat moves to have beneficial applications to their weight training programs. They often integrate Pilates mat work into pre-workout warm-ups. Athletes use concepts from Pilates' movement philosophies to improve their performance on the field.
