Very fashionable for some time, this sport is not likely to tone the whole body in a few weeks.
We have been witnessing the boom of Pilates for several years now, known to tone the muscles in depth. However, an increasingly popular discipline could dethrone it. And for good reason: in fifty minutes, she promises to take care of the whole silhouette, all without impact on the joints, nor cardio. According to Levana Nelson, professional sports coach, the first results are found after three or four sessions, particularly at the level of the abs. “”For example, I have a client at the end of 5/6th lessons, she really saw her oblique much more drawn. And it’s true that I also noticed it“, She says. The key to this sport? A better general posture, more flexibility, and (obviously) a very toned silhouette. Be careful, sensitive abs.
At first glance, the Lagree can make Pilates Reformate. In question, the similarities of the machines on which the disciplines are practiced: a static platform, a mobile cart on rails, straps for the arms and springs to add resistance. However, in fact, the two sports are totally different: “Jhe know that we often compare the lagree to pilates, but this is not the case. Lagree is really muscle strengthening. We come to try to work the deep muscles, breaking the muscle fibers“, Clarifies the professional. During the fifty minutes of lessons, we chain exercises on the mobile cart: slits, abs, board … The body is in tension and permanent sheathing in order to work muscle endurance. The movements are slow, Controlled and are done on a tempo counted by the coach (by six, eight or ten).
At the end of the session, the legs tremble (believe the author of these lines), the abs worn, and you will discover muscles that you have previously thought nonexistent. The little extra? In the event of rehabilitation, the Lagree is completely suitable for the risk of injury being minimal. Only pregnant women will have to go their way, since this discipline requires pushing on the perineum.
As part of a food rebalancing, Lagree can be a very good ally. If it does not allow you to lose weight, associated with a cardio activity it refines the silhouette and tones the muscles. “”It is a very good complement since in weight loss, it always takes muscle strengthening. It is therefore recommended“, Adds Levana Nelson. Coupled with other disciplines, one to two sessions per week are enough to see real changes. Lagree is accessible to everyone, but it will then be necessary to play with the different resistance of the machine in order to ‘Adapt to its level.As I say to my customers: “At first, you will suffer, but you will come back”“, jokes the sportswoman. And add:”I have never seen someone try once and not come back. You don’t see the course pass and the results are there.“Our favorite studio? Outcore, in the 1er Arrondissement of Paris, where the Lagree expert gives lessons.
