Key benefits of Pilates:
- improved flexibility
- increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body)
- balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body
- enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs
- improved stabilisation of your spine
- improved posture
- rehabilitation or prevention of injuries related to muscle imbalances
- improved physical coordination and balance
- relaxation of your shoulders, neck and upper back
- safe rehabilitation of joint and spinal injuries
- prevention of musculoskeletal injuries
- increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing
- improved concentration
- increased body awareness
- stress management and relaxation.
Most importantly, Pilates promotes mobility and strength of all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion, whilst also having a key focus on the deep core muscles.
Moreover, it improves posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.
In addition, in Pilates your muscles are rarely worked to the point of exhaustion, so there is not always sweating or straining, just intense concentration
Nevertheless, always consult your doctor before embarking on any new fitness program, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition or have not exercised in a long time.

Types of Pilates workouts
Here at Fitlifemalta you can practise either Mat Pilates, which is the classic but still very effective version of Pilates, and Resistance Bands Pilates, with which you will be able to train and tone up your body activating more muscle groups simultaneously during most of the exercises.
Let’s go through each of them to give you an idea of what you will do at our Pilates sessions.
![Mat Pilates Malta](https://fitlifemalta.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Mat-Pilates-Malta-300x300.png)
In Mat Pilates, the exercises are performed on a mat and use body weight as resistance. The movements are low-impact and involve controlled, precise movements that engage the core muscles, including the abdominals, back, and hips.
The exercises are typically performed in a specific sequence and are designed to flow from one to the next, creating a full-body workout that improves both strength and flexibility.
Mat Pilates can be modified to suit different fitness levels and abilities, making it a suitable form of exercise for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners.
It is often used as a complement to other forms of exercise, such as weight training, cardio, and yoga, and can be done in a group setting or as an individual practice.
![Resistance Bands Pilates Malta](https://fitlifemalta.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Resistance-Bands-Pilates-300x300.png)
Resistance bands Pilates is a form of Pilates that utilizes resistance bands to provide added resistance and challenge to traditional Pilates exercises.
Resistance bands are long, elastic bands that come in different levels of resistance. This helps to tone and strengthen muscles, while also improving flexibility and mobility.
In resistance bands Pilates, exercises are performed with the band either looped around the feet, ankles, or thighs, or held in the hands.
The resistance of the band is used to engage the muscles more deeply and activate more muscle fibres, resulting in a more effective workout.
It is a great way to add variety and challenge to your Pilates practice and can help you achieve your fitness goals more quickly and efficiently.
