All of us want the best results from our investment. This principle applies even to health and fitness. So when I signed up for a Pilates fitness class early this year, I was set to get the most our of the Pilates workout.
Well, honestly, I didn’t sign up for my Pilates fitness classes due to weight loss reasons. All I knew was, I needed to improve my breathing patterns (being a sufferer of sinusitis) and I wanted to build and strengthen my back and core muscles
If you are new to Pilates, it is advisable to either purchase a Winsor Pilates or any Pilates fitness DVD/video or sign up for a Pilates fitness class. Though you can buy a book and learn some Pilates workouts, you may not know if you are doing the Pilates workouts correctly.
There are basically two types of Pilates workouts available – the Pilates Mat and the Pilates Reformer. While Pilates Mat refers to exercises and Pilates movements on a floor mat, the Pilates Reformer facilitates the toning and Pilates workouts using a series of exercises on the reformer bench.
Winsor Pilates can be learned via numerous DVDs and from what I understand, the results from the workouts have been effective. Some have mistakenly think that Winsor Pilates is only for celebrities or for the glam and famous but this is not true at all.
Basically, Winsor Pilates can be practiced by anyone of any body shapes or fitness goals, unless you are very ill or expecting a child. The correct Pilates Fitness movements do not put strain or stress on the joints . Though the series of movements are slow, they help to focus on core muscles and strengthen the small muscle groups too.
Winsor Pilates became very popular among the weight watchers and those who are seeking healthier ways to lose weight. If you are planning to take up Pilates for weight loss reasons, be mindful that a healthy diet is necessary to help with achieving your fitness goals too.
what on earth is winsor pilates?

I’m sure you may be wondering what on earth is Winsor Pilates and how different is it from the traditional Pilates that Joseph Pilates more than 70 years ago. Very briefly, Winsor Pilates is a derivation of the Pilates designed by Mari Winsor.
Mari Winsor is no stranger in the Hollywood and celebrity circle. Owner of two successful Winsor Pilates Fitness studios, Mari Winsor has been featured in countless magazines including Allure, Glamour, InStyle, More, Shape, W, and Woman’s World. Her list of hollywood clients are Drew Barrymore, Daisy Fuentes, Jasmine Guy, Melanie Griffith, Samuel L. Jackson, Jewel, Madonna, Sharon Stone, Patrick Swayze, Marisa Tomei, and Courtney Thorne-Smith and the list goes on!
Upon the release of her first infomercial, Winsor Pilates made its name in the world of fitness and health in a dynamic way. Mari Winsor invented Winsor Pilates for the use of the masses. It makes use of the Pilates method, adapted into a low intensity exercise which as noted earlier can be done by most people, including grannies too. This makes it accessible as well as useful for anyone, even people of poor health, giving the opportunity to improve health without the stricter requirements of other exercise methods.
Having said that, Winsor Pilates method is not designed for pregnant women so care must be taken. During the third trimester, Pilates done lying down should be avoided; this could damage the blood flow to the baby.
Apart from pregnant women and those who are *very ill, Winsor Pilates is for everyone. It provides an exercise regime that is gentle on the joints muscles and bones. After the increased focus on abdominal muscles and all-in-one gyms Winsor is a definitely good addition to harder systems that are abandoned becasue they are too difficult or take too long to make improvements.
(*When in doubt of any exercise or fitness program, please consult your doctor)
