WHAT MORE CAN YOU DO TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PILATES ROUTINE?

To fully experience the benefits of Pilates, it is important to incorporate other healthy habits into your lifestyle. Hydration, nutrition, and restoration are key components that can enhance the positive effects of Pilates and promote overall wellness.

HYDRATION 

Adequate hydration is essential for overall health, especially before and after physical activity. When you exercise, your body loses fluids through sweat, which can lead to dehydration if not replaced. Aim to drink enough water to replace any fluids lost during a Pilates session. You can also include other hydrating drinks, such as herbal teas or sports drinks, in your diet to help replace electrolytes. At the sculp’d studio we offer electrolyte packets by the LMNT brand.

NUTRITION

Eating a balanced diet that is high in whole foods, fiber, and protein can help support physical activity and recovery. A diet that is rich in whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, can provide the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body needs to perform at its best. Additionally, it is important to eat enough calories to fuel your body and meet its nutritional needs. Avoid processed foods, sugar, and excessive amounts of saturated and trans fats, which can negatively impact your health. To find out the impact nutrition had sculp’d+ owner, Betsy, click here.

RESTORATION

Getting adequate sleep, massages, facials, red light therapy, and compression can help to enhance the benefits of Pilates by reducing stress and promoting recovery. Sleep is essential for physical and mental restoration, and research has shown that lack of sleep can have negative effects on athletic performance. Massages, facials, and red light therapy can help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Compression garments can also be used to support muscles and improve recovery after physical activity.
