Pilates for Teenagers

Despite all of the opportunities for our children to “get out there” and join a sports team, go to the school track, or simply play outside – today’s society is bombarded with technology that is often more appealing. Children are easily enticed by video games, television, and MP3 players etc. But unfortunately these modern activities are far from beneficial to our children’s physical development, posture and  confidence and can be attributed to poor school grades and performance. As a result, many parents have concerns regarding their children’s physical conditioning and self-confidence – as well as the lack of programs available at fitness facilities or schools that specifically target core strength, coordination, balance and flexibility. Not to mention something that’s going to keep their interest for more than one session.  
This is where Pilates comes into play, literally. Pilates is the very form of exercise that works the entire body with emphasis on function for overall health. And parents are taking note for their youngsters.
