Pilates: all heart
Today 29th, World Heart Day, we want to celebrate the cardiovascular health that Pilates promotes.
Movement and physical activity help and train our heart, which is also a muscle. This increases the size of its walls, makes the blood vessels more elastic, lowers blood pressure and increases cardiac output.
Its coronary arteries deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium, favouring its cells.
With training the heart can pump more blood, even when it is at rest, needing fewer contractions per minute to function properly. With regular practice of the Pilates method, the circulatory system is trained and more arterial channels are created that maintain the oxygen that nourishes the heart. In addition, the blood circulation flows better, preventing the formation of blood clots.
Smaller blood vessels are also helped by your exercises, with more blood reaching them and better oxygen absorption throughout the body, even improving circulation in already affected vessels.
Pilates, being of moderate intensity, stimulates the metabolism of fats and sugar. This reduces the risk of diseases such as heart attacks, high blood pressure, strokes, diabetes and obesity. It also strengthens the heart muscle, so that it pumps more blood strongly and steadily with each heartbeat. And the conscious and controlled work of breathing, which it encourages, allows more oxygen to enter the body, increasing circulation.
