Pilates offers men and women so many different benefits – including good health, enhanced flexibility and an enriched state of mind. In fact, there are a number of different jobs where a regular Pilates routine could enhance productivity and make good health on the job a near certainty.
Four Job Made Better by Pilates
If you are in any of the following fields, or know someone who is, consider taking part in a Pilates program this year or letting your friend or loved one know about the benefits.
- Office Worker. If you sit behind a desk all day for your job, you know how muscles can tighten and back injuries lurk around every corner. Pilates is a boon for “desk jockeys” as it works from the core to make muscles stronger and flexibility greater. Coupled with regular walks throughout the day, Pilates can make everyone who sits at a desk healthier.
- Dancers. The greatest dancers share one common trait: incredible flexibility. That is why so many dancers swear by their regular visits to a Pilates studio. Visit any New York City Pilates class and you will find numerous dancers and performers on Broadway doing Pilates for this reason.
- Truck drivers and Taxi drivers. Sure, these are usually considered “manly” jobs, but like those who sit at a desk all day, sitting behind the wheel can cause a number of different physical health issues. By increasing the flexibility of movement, Pilates helps these individuals drive for longer hours without discomfort.
- Athletes. Professional and amateur athletes of all ages and skill levels turn to Pilates as a means of both enhancing performance and improving focus on the field (thanks to the many mental benefits of the discipline). In addition Pilates makes recovery from injuries, and the avoidance of injuries more effective for those who have muscle or joint problems as a result of their on the field activities.
