One of the many things I like about Pilates is that it works the body differently than straight weight training. This means that we can fit it into our fitness schedules in multiple places.
On weeks with heavy weight workouts, we can use Pilates as an active recovery, focusing on the way it builds flexibility and mobility. When we are doing more endurance-based weight training, Pilates complements that work with its focus on core and balance. No matter what kind of other workouts we are doing, Pilates helps us refine our proprioception (our sense of where our bodies are in space), the quality of our movements, and our use of breath.
As with all our fitness activities, we can do Pilates in adaptable ways that suit where we are in the moment.
