FK: Back Fit and Pilates on Mondays: Strengthening through Breathing and Powerhouse

Back Fit programmes based on Pilates offer an effective method for strengthening the back muscles and improving posture. The principles of Pilates emphasise the importance of breathing, which not only supplies the muscles with oxygen but also enhances concentration and body awareness. A central aspect of Pilates is the "Powerhouse" – the core, which includes the abdominal, back and pelvic floor muscles. Through targeted exercises, this area is strengthened, leading to greater stability and control. A strong core is essential for relieving the back and preventing injuries.
