Only by changing to a "Cadillac" bed can you become a real man

MR. Daniel Lyon, a famous British Pilates instructor, sighed while holding his new book "Pilates for Men" and said: "Pilates and yoga are like brothers in distress. They are sports designed to practice male strength, but now they have become a magic weapon for women."

Presumably, the founder of Pilates never imagined that it would take a lot of courage for a man to climb onto the mysterious and complicated Pilates bed in a Pilates classroom.

As men age, their bodies inevitably show various signs of aging: edema, obesity, constipation, sagging skin, hair loss... Due to numerous social engagements and fatigue, in just a few years, the handsome young man is buried by the years.

Daniel appeals: If the reader of "pilatesforman" is him, he must pay attention to himself; if the reader is her, she must take him with her when practicing Pilates.

A man's bed is a "Cadillac"

When doing Pilates on the mat, there is not much difference in the structure of the movements between men and women, mainly because the range of motion and ligament stretching for men should not be too large, while the time for repetition of an action can be doubled, and the breathing method is also the same.

Men can be proud of the fact that they can perform more difficult movements with the help of Pilates machines. In the last issue, we introduced the reformmer, a Pilates bed suitable for women. In fact, the Cadillac, which resembles a classical European four-poster bed, is more suitable for men. It has many functions just like a Cadillac car.

Cadillac is a "compound" gymnastics equipment that includes parallel bars, rings, skateboards, leg ropes, arm ropes and other parts, providing shoulder support and head support. More than 80 combination exercises can be performed on this bed, such as back roll, double-leg stretch, single-leg stretch, monkey pose, back stretch, shoulder cycle, flying eagle and other movements.

Of course, Cadillac is expensive, with the overall selling price ranging from US$2,000 to US$6,000, and there are not many of them in domestic fitness clubs.

Pilates emphasizes control, stretching and breathing. For young men in their early 20s, Pilates focuses on breathing regulation, which can calm an impetuous and reckless heart.

Men in their 30s are worried about their increasingly thick waists. Pilates can improve the muscle curves and shape of the waist, abdomen and buttocks.

As for middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, it emphasizes the movement of both sides of the body, which can gradually correct the bad habits of most people using the left or right side, making the body more coordinated and balanced, and preventing old age diseases.

As a grandfather, through Pilates training, he can not only strengthen deep muscles and improve flexibility, but also help people with back pain, neck pain or muscle strains relieve pain.

Daniel revealed that Maradona recovered from drugs and alcohol with Pilates, which not only helped him lose 50 pounds but also helped him get rid of his irritability and vanity.

TIPS:

Hydration: Pilates requires regulated drinking of water to adjust its own circulation. Strictly speaking, it is best for men to drink 200ml of water every quarter of an hour.

Clothing: A tight vest or T-shirt on the upper body and loose cotton fabric on the lower body best reflects this sport of returning to simplicity.

Exercise time: The best time to exercise is 4-5 pm, 2-3 times a week.
