At the time, I felt Pilates provided more movement and excitement than yoga, not knowing that over 12 million people practice Pilates worldwide. Nowadays, I practice both Pilates and hot yoga at least once a week, which makes my runner&#8217;s body stronger, happier, and less prone to injuries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1366\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1366\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1366\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenBand_Pilates-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenBand_Pilates-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenBand_Pilates.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1366\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adding the resistance band to the airplane pose makes the workout more challenging.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I particularly enjoy Kate Muir&#8217;s gentle Pilates class, because it seems to work wonders on my sore and tight runner&#8217;s body.\u00a0 Kate, who has a Master&#8217;s degree in history of art with emphasis on Bronze casting, has been teaching Pilates for about a decade. She also teaches cycling and strength training, but she teaches Pilates the most, which is\u00a0 five times a week. From the first time I took Kate&#8217;s class, I loved her lovely British accent, her sense of humor, and the fun exercises she had us do, changing up the routine often and providing at least three options to do the poses successfully. Once Kate found out that I was a runner, she teased me that I can run 50 miles, but I moaned and groaned when doing various stretches. Needless to say, Kate was right and her comments\u00a0 made me and the other people in the class laugh.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1373\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1373\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1373\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Glute_Biketrail-296x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Glute_Biketrail-296x300.png 296w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Glute_Biketrail.png 454w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I even do Pilates on a bench on the Parkway after my run whenever I have an extra five minutes, or so.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Four reasons Pilates is so great for runners<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Whole body workout.<\/strong> Developed by Joseph Pilates, the exercises were related to dances designed for people with injuries. Kate pointed out that runners always use forward motion, while Pilates works the body up and down, side to side, front and back.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>The breath. <\/strong>We all know that the breath is so crucial in running, which is why the practice of Pilates requires mastering the breathing technique.\u00a0 Kate said that when we inhale and exhale in through the nose and out through the mouth,\u00a0 we expand the rib cage, pull the abs, and zip them up.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Strength.\u00a0<\/strong>Pilates increases strength in anyone practicing it, which will reduce the risk of injuries. For instance, I am not big on lifting heavy weights, but knowing that I get my core, strength, and stretching done in one 45-minute class gives me confidence that I will get stronger with Pilates. As Kate says at the end of her class, &#8220;the more you do, the more you do.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>Flexibility.<\/b> Like most runners, I am quite stiff and inflexible, which is why I simply can&#8217;t touch my toes without bending my knees. Pilates increases flexibility in our body and keeps us from getting injured.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1368\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1368\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1368\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenLeilani-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenLeilani-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenLeilani.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1368\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tree pose with my friend and Arete team mate Leilani Dunmoyer, who is also a big believer in Pilates, strength training, and Yoga.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>THREE PILATES MOVES EVERY RUNNER SHOULD DO WEEKLY<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mondays are usually my days off from running, but as much as my awesome coach Jenny Hitchings wants me to take a full day of rest, I cannot do it without Pilates. I have tried the full rest and was stiff the next day, but when I only did Pilates on Monday and no running, I felt loose and my glutes and body were happy. However, if you don&#8217;t have access to a fitness club or studio to practice Pilates weekly, Kate suggested that you do the following three moves:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Planks and different variations<\/strong>.
