Pilates lets you get rid of the "lifebuoy"”

　　Compared with yoga, which is somewhat similar, it is more outstanding in terms of combining Chinese and Western styles. It not only incorporates the "hardness" of Westerners - focusing on the training of body muscles and functions, but also the "softness" of Easterners - emphasizing the unity of body and mind during practice, and each posture must be coordinated with breathing.

　　When I came to the fitness center last week, I saw the members stretching their limbs with the coach on the field. They seemed to be "enjoying" it... Talking about the benefits of Pilates, the coach talked endlessly: "Many people sit on the computer every day, and the 'life preserver' on their belly is getting bigger and bigger. Pilates exercises the muscles of the abdomen, waist, back and buttocks - it can remove the 'life preserver' and reduce stress. It is perfect for office workers.……”

　　Breaking down the tricks. A Pilates class requires about 10 movements. Here are 5 basic movements, each repeated 4-6 times.
