Pilates is one of the hottest fitness trends out there, and it's one of my favourite ways to workout too. It's fun, it's low-impact and it works. Think Pilates has done up a post on the fact and fiction of Pilates -- here are some fast facts for you:
- Pilates can give you flat abs -- provided you have a relatively healthy lifestyle
- Pilates will make your muscles look longer, but it won't actually make them longer (it's impossible!)
- Pilates won't make you taller, but you'll look taller because you'll have better posture
- Pilates will help you burn calories, but it won't help you lose a significant amount of weight if you're not eating well and getting another form of activity.
- Pilates can make you a better athlete -- in fact, Tiger Woods swears by it!
