Manhattan’s Phoenix Fitness Offers New Fusion Exercise program called ‘Nautilates’

New York, New York (PRWEB) January 14, 2004

Just in time for last minute New Year’s resolutions, Chelsea’s Phoenix Fitness today announced “Nautilates,” a newly designed fusion exercise program. Nautilates blends Pilates and Nautilus, two successful exercise approaches that increase the body’s ability to burn fat, achieve better posture, flatten stomachs and strengthen abdominal, back and postnatal muscles.

The Nautilates program at Phoenix Fitness is specifically designed for people who, despite investing hours at the gym, get minimal results. Nautilates offers a time-efficient, results-oriented and supervised alternative to timeworn exercise regiments. Focused on stabilization and unification of the body as a whole, Nautilates uses precise repetitions to isolate muscle groups that build strength and endurance.

Jim Eatroff, certified fitness instructor and founder of Phoenix Fitness states, “We combine the positive non-impact derivatives of Joseph Pilates’ subtle flexibility and stability methodology with Arthur Jones’ athletic and strength training Nautilus circuit programs. The blending of innovative techniques like core stabilization and balanced variable resistance results in a greater level of effectiveness and a higher metabolism. Essentially, Nautilates conditions the body to burn fat all day long. At Phoenix Fitness, we have created an innovative way to challenge muscles, improve flexibility and incorporate the mind and body element into effective exercise sessions.”

“In Nautilates, rotary resistance complements traditional Pilate’s linear resistance, which results in a well-rounded workout regimen. At Phoenix Fitness, we utilize high-quality, low-friction equipment to achieve the best results,” continued Eatroff.

Fighting the growing epidemic of obesity in New York City, Phoenix Fitness has designed a non-intimidating environment for overweight and nonathletic men and women. While many mega clubs report sagging memberships, Phoenix Fitness attracts loyal clientele by offering tailored programs and exercise sessions designed according to an individual’s body type and limitations, using creative new approaches such as Nautilates.

ROCHESTER, MI (PRWEB) April 14, 2004 –

Many Factors Can Lead to Pilates-Related Injuries

(PRWEB) March 29, 2005

Plancher Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, Greenwich, CT and NY, NY, March 2005 – Millions of Americans have flocked to Pilates studios over the past several years, searching for a low-impact, less frenetic workout that provides better strength-building and toning results than yoga, but still offers mind-body benefits. While most have found just what they’ve been seeking, some have gotten more than they bargained for: painful joint, tendon and muscle injuries.

“A Pilates-related injury usually comes as a surprise to most who practice it,” explains Kevin Plancher, M.D., “because Pilates began as a rehabilitation program. It’s hard to believe that something that’s supposed to help those who’ve suffered a sports-related injury could actually lead to an injury itself.” In fact, early in the 20th century Joseph Pilates developed the system – while adapting some yoga techniques – to help hospital patients rehabilitate during World War I; years later, dancers adopted it as physical therapy.

There are several aspects of the practice of Pilates that can lead to injury, Dr. Plancher notes, but there are just as many ways to reduce the risks as well. For example, Pilates is largely a sedentary workout, as most of the routine is done on mats and/or aparatus, with such props as stability balls and stretchcords used for balance and resistance. “When a workout solely targets the muscles, it needs to be preceded by a good ten-minute total-body warmup, like a brisk walk,” Dr. Plancher explains. “If you don’t warm up the muscles first, they could be more prone to a stretching injury.”

The Core Issue

Pilates is a uniquely effective workout option because of its focus on the “core” of the body: the trunk and its large, deep musculature. Most of the strength required to perform the Pilates routine originates from the muscles of the abdomen and back, with occasional reliance on the buttocks and quadriceps/hamstrings. But Dr. Plancher points out that this, too, is a potential cause of injury.

“Many Pilates movements that are meant to be completed using the large muscles of the back could cause injury to other areas of the body, such as the shoulders or the arms, if the exerciser were to use improper form or begin to rely too heavily on those smaller muscle groups,” Dr. Plancher explains. “Similarly, some of the lower body movements that are supported by the core abdominals and buttocks can potentially damage the knee, if the exerciser failed to use proper form.”

In fact, the effectiveness of the Pilates program relies on strict adherence to the techniques of each movement – another factor that leaves the window of opportunity open for injury. “Pilates novices may not realize the importance of learning, step by step, how to complete the technical aspects of each movement, and the wisdom of taking the Pilates learning curve slowly…and with a certified, well-trained instructor,” Dr. Plancher adds.

This advice is particularly important because the name “Pilates” is no longer trademark-protected, inviting those with little or no training to set up shop across the mall from those with years of experience. “I advise my patients who wish to try Pilates to have at least one consultation with a certified instructor, too, before pursuing an at-home routine with a DVD and a fitness ball,” Dr. Plancher notes. It’s easier, he says, to learn the basic movements and poses from a trainer, rather than a two-dimensional image on TV.

Injury . . . or not?

Knowing the difference between a well-exercised muscle and an inured muscle is the key to avoiding the most prevalent sports injury of all – the overuse injury. “Recognizing that a muscle or tendon or joint has been compromised, and giving it proper medical attention and time to heal, will result in a faster, more complete recovery,” Dr. Plancher concludes, “And will reduce the risk of reinjury.”

i-Pilates.com Releases an Introduction to Pilates

Mount Kisco, NY (PRWEB) August 27, 2005

According to i-Pilates.com, Pilates is a series of exercises designed to improve flexibility and strength through a variety of stretching and balancing movements. It was developed by Joseph Pilates, a prisoner of war during the Second World War, and has become increasingly popular.

From when he was very young, Pilates took inspiration from the ancient Indian art of yoga, Zen Buddhism, and physical exercises of the Greek and Roman empires and conducted experiments that helped him gain strength.

Pilates introduced his exercises to the inmates of the German internment camp, helping them keep physically fit. He also introduced mat workout and physical exercise equipment made from bed springs.

According to i-Pilates.com, Pilates has recently become particularly popular among dancers, athletes, celebrities and models, because in addition to helping to develop flexibility without causing a strain on the muscles, it also helps improve posture.

A regular Pilates regimen results in a flatter stomach and a thinner waist and thighs, as well as increasing mobility in joints. Like yoga, it also relieves stress and anxiety.

Chiropractic consultants recommend Pilates for strengthening the back and the spine. Physiotherapists also recommend Pilates, to those seeking rehabilitation after injuries to their limbs.

Pilates is also recommended for the elderly, people suffering from osteoporosis, and people who are overweight.

Pilates has become quite popular among athletes, dancers and actors because the workout improves not just the body but mind as well. Pilates’ balanced approach ensures that no muscle group is overworked and as a result the body works as an efficient, holistic system.

According to i-Pilates.com, Pilates is for everyone – the young, the old, the sedentary, the athletic, and those who have a physical disability.

Pilates helps improve strength, tone, flexibility and balance, and makes the body less prone to injury. It reduces stress, relieves tension, and boosts energy through deep stretching.

It creates a stronger, more flexible spine, promotes recovery from injury, increases joint motion, improves circulation, heightens neuromuscular coordination, corrects muscle groups, enhances mobility, agility and stamina, and improves the look and feel of your body.
