Pilates Life Studio

Awhile ago I wrote an article about a 2012 meta analysis that demonstrated that moderate intensity aerobic exercise and resistance training reduces the sensitivity to painful stimuli in healthy individuals and those living with chronic pain.

We get stronger, gain energy, fix muscle imbalances that can lead to pain and/or injury, and now we know exercise also builds our tolerance of pain.

My form of resistance training is Pilates on the apparatus. The springs, equipment, and our body weight are all forms of resistance within the Pilates system. My fave aerobic exercise is running 5k to 10k.
