What is Pilates?. more...
Pilates (pronounced ?pee-la-tays?) is a form of exercise developed in the 1930`s by Joseph Pilates. He combined some of the techniques used in the martial arts, Yoga, The Alexander Technique, weight lifting and Ballet to develop a form of exercise that stretches, strengthens, tones and aligns the body while keeping tension and strain on the joints to a minimum. It does not only condition the body but also stimulates the mind. Pilates is, in particular, an excellent form of exercise for people who have had back problems or postural problems and wish to increase the stability of their core muscles. It is also a very good form of exercise for the mind and the body of the uninjured person.
