Strong core = reduced low back pain
One high quality article showed that after 6 weeks of mat Pilates training or 6 weeks training with Pilates equipment (equipment includes: tower or trapeze table, reformer, barrel, and chair), participants with chronic low back pain had similar improvements. However, with these participants the studies demonstrated that equipment based Pilates sessions showed better and longer lasting results than with mat Pilates. So while mat Pilates is definitely amazing, several studies report that equipment Pilates produces superior results. AMAZING!
Exercise Reduces Stress
Boost Immunity with Exercise
Amazing news! 43% of participants who reported 5 days of physical activity per week had significantly reduced days of URTI compared to largely sedentary participants who exercised less than 1 day per week. And when the higher physical active group did get an URTI the severity of symptoms were 32-41% less.
