Wrong, wrong, wrong. To celebrate National Pilates Day (it\u2019s today!) Miranda Armenta is here to clear up the myths and tell us what Pilates <i>does<\/i> do. She\u2019s the owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mirapilates.com\">Mira Pilates<\/a> in Scottsdale and she\u2019s been teaching Pilates for over a decade, so she knows her stuff\u2026 and you may just be surprised to hear what she has to say\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b>1. Pilates improves your physical abilities<br \/>\n<\/b>There\u2019s a reason that Pilates is the exercise of choice for gymnasts and professional dancers. Most conventional workouts tend to create bulky muscle. But if you want a long, lean look without bulk (but with all the strength), Pilates may be just what you\u2019ve been searching for. Pilates doesn\u2019t rely on frequent repetition; it focuses on the whole body.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/workout\/6-surprising-benefits-of-pilates\/attachment\/121645152\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2125\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2125 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  alt=\"121645152\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/24143710\/121645152-80x58.jpg\"  width=\"600\"  height=\"437\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/121645152.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/24143710\/121645152.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/24143710\/121645152-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/24143710\/121645152-380x277.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/24143710\/121645152-80x58.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/24143710\/121645152-100x72.jpg 100w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>2.
