Do I need Pilates if I'm already Weight Training?

Yes! Weight trainers should also do Pilates, as they have particular benefits to draw from Pilates. Many weight-training exercises tend to concentrate on isolated muscle groups, where the muscle "bulk up" over time. Pilates simultaneously strengthens and lengthens your muscles uniformly, creating supple power.

Moreover, Pilates saves precious time by training all the small (but important) and deep stabilizing muscles along side with the large ones, which would otherwise be very time-consuming to train using traditional weight training method (imagine doing 3 sets of 15 reps of weights for each and every small muscle!)

By training the stabilizing muscles and teaching the body to move in good motor control, Pilates will make every movement more efficient and powerful, allowing the weight-trainer to train harder and reap more benefits from each weight training session. It also help to prevent injuries from weight lifting too.
