  • Pilates helps build lean muscles through controlled movements, core strength, and flexibility while being low-impact and accessible. A high-protein diet supports muscle repair and growth, essential for achieving sustainable muscle development.

The article from MSN discusses how Pilates, combined with a high-protein diet, can be an effective strategy for building lean muscle. Pilates focuses on core strength, flexibility, and muscle toning through controlled movements, which helps in developing long, lean muscles rather than bulky ones. It emphasizes precision, alignment, and breathing, which not only aids in muscle building but also improves overall body coordination and balance. To complement this exercise regimen, the article suggests incorporating a diet rich in protein to support muscle repair and growth. Foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts are recommended to provide the necessary amino acids for muscle synthesis. The combination of Pilates' low-impact exercises with adequate protein intake helps in achieving a toned physique while also promoting joint health and reducing the risk of injury, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
