Pilates-The Perfect Exercise to Start This Winter

With such harsh weather through out the winters in the US and most of the world, everyone tends to get a tinge of cabin fever quickly after the holidays. Why not fill some of those dark and blustery days with some exercise. Pilates is Perfect! Even if you have to travel, you can take Pilates with you. You don't even need a mat, a towel on the floor will work. Since Pilates uses your body's resistance, all you need is the desire to feel better and the will to exercise. Even if you only get 15-20 minutes to yourself a day, you can just lay on the floor and do basic fundamental mat exercises to get your blood flowing and your heart pumping. The best thing about Pilates is when the weather breaks and summer starts to arrive you can take your mat to the beach or to the park and do Pilates in the warmth of the sun.
