Exercise I love for the moment

Pilates is a form of stretching and burning exercise that is slowly taking importance and making name recently. It is a system of mind-body exercise evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates. Although Pilates had been around for many years its popularity in Malaysia is rather low compared to other form of exercise such as aerobics and yoga. Among the benefits of Pilates are:

  1. Correcting spinal and pelvic alignment, and completing concentration on smooth, flowing body movement.
  2. Build strength without "bulking up" - gain long, lean muscles and flexibility
  3. Develop a strong core - flat abdominals and a strong back
  4. Create an evenly conditioned body and prevent sports injuries
  5. Learn efficient patterns of motion

You can learn more about Pilates from this website which I based my facts on: www.piltes.com here is a short 10 minutes Pilates video for fat loss. Enjoy.
