My Sports: Pilates

♡ Pilates

: Pilates is a form of exercise that strengthened our mind and body to improve flexibility, strength, and posture. It was created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century as a method of rehabilitation for injured dancers and soldiers, but has since become a popular fitness routine worldwide.

For me personally, i like doing pilates at home with guidance from sport influencer on youtube, about every 2-3 times a week. I never sign up for professional pilates class because it cost pretty much expensive.

I've been doing pilates for almost half a year now, and i notice some significant things that happend to my physics and mental. First, doing pilates strengthening my muscles. When i wake up in the morning i find my back pain is gone because the pilates that i did the night before.

Second, it slowly fix my posture. When i was in the elementary school, my mother always complaining about my bad-munch body postures, but when i start doing pilates last year, i find out that my posture are getting great as well.

And lastly, doing pilates making me more relaxed and calm. It has something like meditative effect such as clearing my mind, clearing the negativity vibe in my body, and reduce stress.

My favourite pilates influencer is @MoveWithNicole, @ShirlynKim, and @daisykeech on youtube. They are beginner friendly, and they are motivating me to keep doing pilates and other workout in order to make my body and mind healthier.
