Pilates Reformer Can Improve Your Gut Health Do you spend much of your day working on a computer? In Silicon Valley, what are the chances (😉)? Whether staring at a computer or spending your days keeping up with little ones, your back is getting a workout. Not the right workout and your posture may pay the price. Posture Counts! To quote Joseph Pilates, “Poor posture creates a graveyard for our organs.” Taking Pilates Reformer classes at CORE Fitness helps improve posture. Poor posture can cause back pain and contribute to digestive issues. If your hip flexors are tight, they compress the stomach, upper thigh, and lower back muscles; that can put a lot of strain on your digestive system. Stress? In Silicon Valley? You Don’t Say. Stress can cause digestive issues. To help lower stress levels, try incorporating mind-body activities into your fitness regimen. Less stress = lower cortisol levels. Lower cortisol levels can aid digestion. The vagus nerve (the longest nerve in our body) connects your brain to your intestine. Better breathing technique is at the core of Pilates Reformer and can also help lower stress. The various movements you’ll do in Pilates Reformer classes at CORE Fitness move your spine in different positions. That leads to better blood circulation, which leads to less inflammation, and results in better digestive system functioning. CORE Fitness – Silicon Valley’s leading Pilates Studio since 2007.
