Actress Clara (39) showcased her advanced Pilates skills.
On the 2nd, Clara posted a video on her Instagram account. She is performing advanced movements using Pilates equipment. Dressed in a top and leggings, she drew attention with her slim waistline and perfect leggings fit.
Equipment Pilates that can evenly use all body muscles
The Pilates equipment Clara is using, the Cadillac, allows for stretches with limbs hanging on the equipment and various movements that are difficult to perform on a mat while floating in the air.
In this process, it can enhance shoulder and spinal flexibility and evenly engage muscles that are not usually used. Additionally, it allows for stretching of the abdominal side muscles and muscles around the spine, enabling the strengthening of abdominal and core muscles without straining the waist.
Moreover, it corrects the alignment of the spine and pelvis, creating a balanced posture, and helps alleviate lower back pain. By utilizing the elasticity of the springs, it provides continuous resistance to the muscles while avoiding strain on the joints, allowing for safe strength enhancement.
Maintaining proper posture and stretching is important to prevent injuries
However, if the posture is incorrect during exercise, it can lead to injuries in the joints, ligaments, and muscles, so it is important to maintain accurate posture. Especially for beginners with weak core muscles, it is safer to train the core muscles under the guidance of a professional without overexerting.
Additionally, if the spring strength of the equipment is too high, it can overload the waist or shoulders, so it is advisable to gradually increase the intensity while allowing the muscles to adapt. Before exercising, sufficient stretching and warm-up should be done to loosen the muscles and joints to prevent injuries.
If there are usual issues like lumbar disc problems or shoulder rotator cuff injuries, it is essential to exercise with a professional and perform movements with extra caution. Especially if one has recently undergone surgery or has chronic joint pain, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting exercise and to stop immediately if any pain or discomfort is felt during the workout.
