Why Should Men Do Pilates

Joseph Pilates a German fitness enthusiast and a self-taught athlete created ‘Contrology’

now known as Pilates. Not many are aware that this exercise regime was originally intended
for men. Joseph Pilates rehabilitated prisoners of war and helped many soldiers recover
from their injuries using his method of ‘Contrology’.

         

Men normally engage in high impact exercise regimes which mostly activates one’s
dominant muscle groups which in turn creates muscle imbalances. The non-dominant
muscles tend to become tight, weak and prone to injuries. Practicing Pilates regularly helps
in lengthening and strengthening the muscles correctly, increases the range of motion in the
joints and promotes overall development of the body.
