Pilates Feature
Why do pro athletes like Tiger Woods, Jason Kidd, or Martina Navratilova and Hollywood stars like Madonna and Sharon Stone practice Pilates?
Athletes benefit from improved core stability resulting in greater speed and power. For example, a basketball player like Jason Kidd becomes even quicker and more explosive -- or a golfer like Tiger Woods may hit balls even further with greater accuracy. These results come from improved posture, flexibility and balanced muscle development that leads to more usable strength.
Stars and models probably enjoy Pilates because it improves posture and appearance and makes the body look taller and more slender. It also increases stamina and endurance for long hours on the set or stage, since it's a great source of conditioning.
