Pilates, (pronounced pi-LAH-teez) was created by Joseph Pilates nearly a century ago. It was originally used in European hospital-based programs as a form of exercise/rehab. It was brought to the United States and has developed over the years into a popular exercise method that nearly anyone can perform with relative ease. It is used by the young and the elderly, professional athletes, dancers, injured and disabled individuals, and by anyone else who desires better physical health.
Working one on one with a certified trainer, small repetitive movements are performed on various pieces of specialized equipment and on floor mats. The focus of Pilates is on the “core” muscles; the abdominals and spinal muscles. It provides a lengthening of the muscles as well as strengthening and stabilizing them. Breathwork is also an important part of a Pilates session.
Joseph Pilates said “In ten sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you’ll see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a new body”.
