Pilates for Teens
Is your teen a social media and gadget addict? Does he/she do any form of exercise? Is he the opposite – practising sport every day or wishing to excel in some sort of sport? Is your teen bored with his regular workout and wants to try something new?
Today’s teens
have early onset of kyphosis (rounded back posture) due to the lifestyle they lead. Long hours in front of laptops, phones, TV and virtual games. If they carry on with this without attending to it, they will have significant back problems later on in life. If you care for your teen and their future, plan to introduce a physical activity that will help him stay healthy. Pilates can help young adolescents become physically fit, mentally alert and socially confident.
Why Is Teen Pilates Good For Adolescents?
Pilates will improve your teen’s core strength. It will help your teen become flexible. The workout helps correct your teen’s posture.
The exercise will help your child rule out any potential back problems, such as scoliosis or kyphosis.
Pilates will help improve your teen’s awareness of his/her body and make him more confident.
Pilates is a mind-body movement. The concentration needed to perform the exercises correctly will help your teen to stay more alert, increase his/her concentration during exercise and away from the Pilates studio, even during study times.
