This week our focus is going to be precision. In the past couple weeks we have gone over the fundamentals of Pilates. Hopefully you can apply this new information to your breathing and control techniques and apply them together and continue your practice in classes and at home.
Pilate’s movements are meant to be executed with precision and a attention to detail. It doesn’t matter if you practice at home, at a gym, or in a studio, every movement should be purposeful and clean. This attention to detail will make you sustain an awareness of every move you take enhancing your fitness and making you more present with your body.
Precision, in Pilates, has to do with the appropriate placement of the body’s parts as well as their alignment. It’s a very detail rich work out that depends on precision. Taking Pilates classes or having a private lesson can ensure that you are instructed of the correct form and ensure you are connecting with your muscles properly.
The precision of your practice is meant to grow and benefit you as the reps increase. There are many muscle groups that will be sitting perfectly still, but the movements must be executed with clarity and exactness.
The more you work out at a Pilate’s studio the more precise your practice will be. You should see more dramatic results if you are stronger in your technique and execution of the six principles of Pilates. Study this principle of Precision and integrate it into your practice! Good Luck!
