Why Pilates Works Well for Men. Core strength, flexibility, balance, uniform development, and efficient movement patterns—all are hallmarks of Pilates training and highly relevant to men’s fitness. The integrative component of Pilates can be especially beneficial for men, whose workouts often emphasize a part-by-part approach to muscular development, such as occurs in weightlifting.Pilates are a set of practice techniques that are meant to give you more control over your body movement. You can do Pilates on many surfaces be it on a mat, in the gym or out in an open space. These are the reasons why Pilates is a good exercise for men.
To Enhance Neglected Muscles. One of the main objectives of doing Pilates is to develop those muscles that are rarely used in everyday life.Pilates strengthens the thigh muscles (quadriceps), and this may help prevent arthritis and knee injuries. It may also help prevent greater disability if you have arthritis.
Ask your doctor if.The integrative component of Pilates can be especially beneficial for men, whose workouts often emphasise a part-by-part approach to muscular development, such as occurs in weightlifting.For the uninitiated, Reformer Pilates is a full body workout performed on a bed-like machine, and aims to tones muscle, increases stability through the joints, improves core stabilisation, flexibility and much.Pilates is often considered, at worst, yoga for women, or at best a recovery treatment for sportsmen.
However, more weight trainers are turning to the.Pilates focuses on small movements that require the use of important stabilizing muscles of the back and core. There is a strong emphasis on starting each exercise with a controlled breath that.Yet many people think of Pilates as an “easy” mode of exercise or a “gentle” workout that’s more for old ladies than it is for fit young men, for example. As a Pilates instructor, I’ve taught a wide variety of clients, as young as 13 and as old as 75.
Pilates is perfect if you’re an office worker too. Learning to hold yourself properly will mean you no longer suffer those same aches and pains from sitting—or slouching—at your desk all day. So get over your preconceptions. Just because women got there first, doesn’t.
Many types of people, at many levels of fitness, who have begun doing Pilates exercises say they’ve seen improvements in range of motion, flexibility, circulation, posture, and abdominal strength.Practising Pilates on a regular basis provides plenty of well-rounded benefits. ‘The beauty of Pilates is that anyone, at any age can get started. Through the controlled and progressive movements.
Although often overlooked, Pilates is a good workout for men! Pilates exercises can increase flexibility, improve posture & core strength, all of which have obvious benefits for runners, cyclists & other sportsmen. Focusing on the technique of moving can prevent injury & be the perfect addition to any training schedule.If Pilates is good enough for Navy SEALs, it’s good enough for you. Here’s why some of the fittest men are turning to Pilates to strengthen imbalances, grow stronger, and prevent injury.
Pilates benefits your core (or, in Pilates speak, your “powerhouse”) unlike any other workout. In fact, after completing 36 weeks of Pilates training, women strengthened their rectus abdominis (the muscle responsible for six-packs) by an average of 21 percent, while eliminating muscle imbalances between the right and left sides of their cores, according to a Medicine & Science in Sports.Doing Pilates in the infra-red heat helps boost your metabolism and adds a cardio aspect to the workout.
In the heat your heart rate increases much like going for a jog but without the impact on your joints. The sweating is also great for your skin and increasing circulation.

3:49 what a bitch move.
He’s trying to make her smile and she do that bitch look?
Like what’s wrong with you?seriously
Dang i hate to be THAT person but…doing reformer work with no previous pilates experience is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. There should also to be a warm up doing floor work, not just stretching, before jumping onto the reformer. I know you guys didnt know but these pop pilates places can seriously injury people by these practices. Pilates is amazing and can be so good but there really needs to be a proper instructor for it.

Steves cashing in from these constant 14 sec ads, had them 3 outta 4 vids i watched
Not gonna lie, got real excited when I read the title as ‘Bodybuilder vs. Pirates’.
Great video. Love to see fitness people try different things
It’s awesome that you’re not afraid to try new things and see the benefit in all forms of fitness
Your dogs cuteness is distracting me! So cute! Great vid, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
melbourne sucks, its quiet and stupid and its only for more cultural stuff. If you want to see the heart of australia you go to sydney.
9:23 “Don’t let your mind fuck w’ you guys” what?? ahah i wasn’t expecting that!
Yo Steve you honestly have to start putting living the links to the songs yourself in your vids cuz there’re nice
Didnt know the “assistant” has access like she does haha still shaking my head at you bud
AMAZING edit Jason!! killed it really wanted to be there because of this!
Steve, with the greatest of respect let me have a go on Courtney. I’ll let you walk my dog in return.
Song is called Red Lights by lvly
https://youtu.be/hltxL7i2A2M
I was doing a fair bit of planking until a good friend of mine suggested Pilates. She said she got results quicker. Granted, she did an hour class, but these will be good for me to begin with.
I always have sweaty hands and feet so I can’t do anything bare
David Attenborough another ten years at what he’s doing, he’s well into his 90s man haha
I’m definitely adding Pilates to my workout routine. Exercise is so much fun
That intro tho. Sometimes its fun to try other exercise forms.
Keep up the good work! Today i am using bodybuilding.com all access as my training program, because its cheap 99 dollar a year. I am a teenager and working out every day for muscle growth. Do you think its worth it for me, to subscribe to fitness culture training program for 50 dollar a month? I would like a video where you go through the whole programming app and show what you get from the different subscriptions and how its working.
Super fun vid Steve, cheers mate. The BBC have looked at your audition, great you’ve got things to fall back on. Thanks for sharing this with us. Norm.
I think the only drawback for pilates or at least the version they showed here is that it is very equipment-dependent. I would much rather do something like cardio, strength, resistance training and HIIT, which require little paraphernalia apart from may be some dumbbells.
So I want to do a lean muscle build but was thinking about taking Creatine I don’t know right now I take LIT preworkout animal cuts I need to start taking protein tho
Ngl, it really freaked me out when they started doing that crazy jumping stuff at 7:20, proper mental that
So.. her name is Courtney King, his name is Steve Cook.. will that mean.. Courtney Cook King? I’ll show myself out
Bruh, that accent was terrible I actually think Courtney did a better job
Thumbs up for Jason who is doin such good work! You and court too ofc. but ppl dont give poor Jason enough credit!:(
I got locked out of a house naked accidentally in Melbourn lol
7:46 Steve got me dying, the machine wasn’t ready for a BIG LAD
“I want to do BBC narration. Nat Geo, get at me.”
-Steve Cook, 2018
A little too much negativity on the comments, keeping doing whatever you want Steve that’s what makes it entertaining
What is the song at the beginning and 4:16…can’t find it anywhere
I like David Attenborough as much as the next guy, but 10 more years might be a bit of a stretch seeing as he will be pushing 102 years old.
That David Attenborough was hilarious lmao. The pacing was pretty spot on but the accent… mmm practice makes perfect:P
Thumbs up for the slow mo of Courtney’s boobs! And thumbs up for Steve trying to copy maxx chewing lol
I like your Pilates tutorial so much, it is easy to following, relax and powerful
Ps. Re-start work out after 2 years from ur channel, feel like no pain, no gain lol
I got this! Have a great day! I will:) Namaste Sean..: )
Good stuff I haven’t worked out in months besides basic crunches and push-ups….felt great I feel great thank you
The difference between pilates and other workouts for me is that you feel the benefits of pilates are more prominent in your daily life. It really targets your inner core rather than just your visual abs, and with that you have much better posture and correct form as you walk/run throughout the day and can make your other workouts more effective.
How are these fitness professionals and they weren’t expecting this???
I need a Pilates expert to help me with a question I have. I have an hourglass figure and people have been telling me that the perfect workout for me is Pilates because I won’t lose my breasts. Is that true?
It’s always these slow exercises using your own body weight or light weights that hurt the most. Yoga is another one people think is girly bs when it’s self inflicted torture.
Trainer: so your body should be on the diagonal, come on cj
Cj: i cant because of my junk
im 12 im from an asian family BUT WHY DOES EVERY ASIAN WANT TO BE THIN AND SKINNY my mums making me go on an extreme diet and over exercising
amy jordan, the instructor, seems supportive, the class she teaches looks effective, and to top it off, she’s gorgeous.
But, when she says, ” it’s amazinggggg” it makes me cringe and forget all that.
I love pilates! I miss my private classes at Pilates Sol in PGH
Too tough? Try my Pilates for Complete Beginners workout on my channel. Thanks!
Every year when I go to hockey camp we do pilates and everything and it’s nothing (I’ve been going since I was 13)
man, too bad i live in the Midwest. i wanna go to this place and the aerial yoga place…
my mum does pilartes every morning and goes to a two hour class on Saturdays
2:50 this pilates girl is so so good she started flying lmao
Looks like a scam that creates artificial need to find fancy equipment and trainer, because of course you won’t have a clue how to use this crap. I’m just saying, there are simpler ways to get fit. This looks like fancy bottled water sort of thing.
Was I the only one that thought the lady teaching Pilates was HOTTTT
Someone needs to a video about people trying Blogilates cause that Queen and her calendars have changed my life
Pilates looks really exhausting and fun but why the instructor not in shape tho?
Did anyone see the word Pilates but didn’t know that that was the actual spelling for the yoga sport exercise thing until you heard her say it? I was thinking the word was pilot ayes not pill lattes
Wtf my Pilates class is nothing like this we don’t use equipment
loved this one Sean, did it yesterday, abs are tender today though. Question……….Are you Will Ferrells love child, Lol
I kinda liked that the attitudinal “I’m superior” CJ struggled the most 😉
Yea, you have a good sense of humor & that makes me feel more motivated:)
Dah fuq she mean jump with your core that movement is all posterior chain
There are many who are very busy but everyone should have at least 10 minutes to dedicate to the way they feel. Keep it up Sean!
I gave birth 5 months ago. I’ve been doing some exercise since but by the end of this 10 minutes, I was praying for dear life.:-D If this is for beginners, at which level I am?? (Sean, do you have anything more appropriate for a new mom or should I carry on with this? I had C section but I’m well and had no pain during the exercise.) Thank You! Good video!
They should have had Cassey as the instructor she is the best
very good, i’m using it to improve my flexibility and core strength as well as all my other joints. struggling with a rotator cuff injury though. hopefully this will help me improve my shoulder joints strength
@sexaylaydie Thanks! I have lots of workout DVDs for sale. Go to my web page in the description and you can preview and order! If you like this video I recommend Personal Pilates #1 and #2. Perfect!
I thought this was going to be similar to blogilates style lol
These are so great. You can do pilates on the floor but that’s not even close to those machines. Why are they so expensive??? I want one!!! ;(
Entertaining or not, whether they’re fitness instructors or not, throwing them into a clearly advance class is ridiculous. Just looks like a bastardisation of Pilates. Even a beginners class working at a low level with clear technique is challenging without it being overwhelming. People need to stop seeping Pilates as some fad it’s more than this.
i can’t deal with mikki she is literally flawless STOP MAKING ME FEEL INSECURE WITH YOUR HORDES OF IMPOSSIBLY GORGEOUS PEOPLE BUZZFEED
Jumping with legs instead of core!?!? How does one extend their abdominal muscles? I’ll do your silly plank and then I’ll have you do a plank using TRX bands.
Check out some of the more advanced core/pilates workouts I have on my channel:)
“i cant cuz of my junk” huhu laughed harder than i should’ve
That looks really neat I wish we had something like that up here in Kingston Ontario for me to try something like that
Nice workout. EZ going. Great for morning warm-up less than an hour core work out. Thanks John.
I’m definitely more interested in learning the doggie’s relaxation technique.
This is so good ❤️…You are giving me an inspiration. I can’t say how much it is. Your pleasant face is more than enough. I am giving you a big Salute
Hi, I just noticed you had another Beginner’s YouTube so I’m doing both classes and getting a great workout for a woman. Cheers
Thank you for explaining what your back should be doing (whether flat or natural arch) no one ever says and I’ve hurt my back in the past not knowing what I’m doing!
That’s not Pilates, that’s working out on a weird, intimidating contraption…
Awesome variations -I’d seen a standing saw ages ago but completely forgotten it existed… I have a number of guys with tight hamstrings who will benefit from this (they’ll be sore but they will benefit:)!)
So in other words, workout every other day? I started doing that at 1st, then I started doing 2 days then a break.
Just came from begginers and realized I had more in the tank let’s go!
nice well rounded Pilates short workout. Pilates is really amazing, even simple exercises like this give you a workout you can feel, and feel great after.
Sean you need to get on Patreon. You’re missing out on dollars.
Does this help burn love handles as well I feel like it does
I tried pilates and i fell like I’m doing construction work doing the session and my brain is so burned out after the session of following instructions.
I’ve done this one about a dozen times, great short core stabilization series. I can usually do about 30% more reps as you transition between exercises. Great for lower back health!
Thank you Teacher….. sorry to have missed last weeks classes…. and i am signing in from my other acct today…. this is Da Man ;-)…… great workout….. Dhanyawaad:-) <3 (y)
Man I tried to do this workout after 2 months of the beginner workout and I couldn’t finish it. The pace was a bit too quick for me but I definitely felt it 6 minutes in. Wish there was an in-between phase from beginner and intermediate. Thanks for this Sean!
Is pilates all about the core and abs? or it it a full body workout?
Do you know of any exercises for your feet? I happen to have very flat feet I can nearly see the curve arc on them and it’s sometimes painful when I’m on my feet for a very long time, I’m 21 195lb. Is this normal? Can excercises help to get some arcs on my feet?
Maybe it’s me being a noob but the video moved way too fast for me. Good content just wished it moved at a slightly slower pace when transitioning to different exercises
Hey there! I’m very glad I found this video. I find your voice and your attitude very soothing. Do you think it’s okay for me to alternate between some weight training and various Pilate exercises?
Thank you for your videos they help me a lot and you are too funny
I think I’d call this intermediate Pilates but that’s ok, ur still ace!
I’m not comfortable with my stomach why? Is it because first time or the effect, please telll me?
@provyacuddance Good luck! Keep practicing and try my other videos on this page. (-:
Great video, but my fave part has to be, “fixing the haairr”! Thanks for the workout!
Love the workouts.
Perfect for daily morning routine. Longer for days when I’m not working
That’s never Pilates for beginner, more like for Olympic athletes!
Pilates classes are full of hot chicks and yummy mummies and I mean WALL-2-WALL why learn it off the web, get down your local gym.
living the life whil…… watching the kardashians,vlogging,dating,filming youre fav couple in every video, and working out
hey Sean…. today was my first time ever…. started exercising after almost 9 months…. and i gave birth to pilates….. he he he…. thanks for the amazingly interactive and very HAPPY video…. Thanks…. will tune in 2/3 times a week for atleast a month and i guess after that i will be ready for some hard core lessons…. thank you teacher:-) (y) <3
…fitness professionals? How can they be so immobile?? Speaks volumes about the PT industry.
I adored this video as in intro to Pilates.
And you have a very soothing voice.
Thank you kindly
…… Ah Steve…. you’re not in South Australia XD….. you in Victoria bra.
I think Pilates like Yoga and Tai Chi is more ab out being healthy, having a flexible body with exercices that massages inner organs. Hey! The story of the invention of Pilates is very interesting. Joseph Pilates actually got inspired by cats stretching while he was imprisoned during world war 1 for being a German citizen on British territories. Many fellow inmates began practicing those exercices with him and got out of those concentration camps more in shape than when they got in! I definitely see Pilates as excellent for aging citizens.
see this is is working out in every aspect is best. guys that just do weight lifting will get tired out quicker in doing things for a longer time. you may be able to bench press 200lbs, but if you cant even run one mile, in my opinion, your not strong.
I love it! You just go to the point without unnecessary talk:) Great workout!!
I need to ramp up my efforts I can get through this 10 minute one fine but I’ve let myself get stuck at this level what’s the next one I could reasonably work up to Sean?
Thanks for this video! Easy instructions and enough time to follow.
I pretty much lasted the whole video EXCEPT for the full body swim. Fail. I’ll work on it.
first timer here love ya chilled voice:)
trying to lose a belly hope this helps..
@motleyfitness thanks i jumped of d top of a waterfall and couldnt excercise for a while because i jumped bad and fell on a rock and den into the water:(
Fun? * laughs *
Muscles? * laughs *
Getting off my couch? * dies *
this looks like something I could do, beside the whole part where they were standing and had to lift on their leg (I have a torn ACL so my knee often gives out without the support of my other leg) but the rest looked fun. I’m sure I’d puke tho.
Really enjoyed this John. I was in a really bad bike crash. This helps loosen up my neck and back a little. Thank you.
This one is good as well, men who just strating up on taking Pilates should start on this video. This work-out is awesome and worth the sweat.
Hi Kramilla, when this seems like it’s not challenging your mind and body anymore try something a little more challenging on my page:)

Sean
Hi there! Never do any workout everyday, take a day in between to give your muscles a chance to recover and rebuild. Thanks:)
I was just wondering if you are supposed to do this every day? Just starting a workout routine.
eating chocolate icecream while watching this wnd feeling guilty
Thanks for the reply I fixed it by using different search words. After 6 months with this 10 minute “On the go” routine, should I be trying something more strenuous?
Thanks! I don’t know why the video is stopping. Sometime glitches happen I guess. Glad you’re enjoying it:)
Great work! The first time is always the toughest but then your body really starts to acclimate and build.
Sean I have been following this workout since last Sept. it was hard at first but now I keep up pretty good. Lately, though, the youtube video stops all of a sudden & I have to start it all over again then it stops again what gives? BTW love your comments during the workout the hair and t shirt thing funny. But why is the video suddenly stopping on it’s own?
CAN THEY TRY BALLET NOW I’VE WAITED SO LONG FOR A BALLET VIDEO
I saw this workout in the Juliette Binoche film, “Elles”! Cool:)
@jlwilke1 Thanks! Keep practicing and check out my other videos for variety.
I have been doing this for the past few weeks and am really seeing and feeling a difference in my strength and tone. I love it!!
@MelissaRNMace Will do Melissa! Let me know what you think of my Boot Camp and Macho-lates DVDs (-;
Love Motley Fitness! I never travel without a DVD from Sean Vigue. And of course, I can’t get enough of the classes when I am home. Keep them coming!
First timer today had saved a while back hoping to get my hubby interested in trying Pilates. Figured I’d preview it myself. Discovered laughter helps breathing. HIlarious dubbing and a great mini-workout. Thanks!
Extra emphasis on abs which I really liked. New location for each new move, kept it interesting.
great video i jus tried it and i feel great im gonna continue doin dis fuh a whilethanks:)
I wish they elaborated on what kind of fitness professionals these people are. I love how the girl seems to be taking it like a champ while the boys are bitching lol. I’m a little surprised by how race focused these comments are. What is up with that?
@jlwilke1 I have Pilates on the Go! #2 in the can. Will edit and put it out this week!
@motleyfitness I’ve been doing this with my friends for the past few weeks and can really feel and see the difference! When is the next one coming out?
