About Joseph H. Pilates
Pilates is a method of exercise developed by the legendary trainer, Joseph H. Pilates (1880 – 1967) at the turn of the century. He brought his unique method of conditioning to the United States in 1923. He studied Eastern and Western disciplines, creating a fusion of the best qualities of both. Pilates exercises require fewer repetitions but concentrate on very precise movements with proper control and form.
Best known for its deep abdominal and back (core) work, Pilates is a complete total-body-conditioning workout emphasizing the natural curves of the spine. Pilates increases lean muscle tissue and bone density, but it does more than conventional weightlifting.
While Pilates exercise is best known for its deep abdominal and back work, the truth is it strengthens the entire body while correcting improper body alignment and mechanics. Pilates Core Training applies the most current principles in exercise science, biomechanics, kinesiology, and fascial research. Its updated approach to traditional Pilates makes the exercises safer and more effective as they emphasize the natural curves of the spine and integrative movement principles. Pilates creates well developed muscles without creating the muscle imbalances many traditional exercises can cause. The mind/body emphasis on proper breathing and concentration on smooth motions develop neuromuscular re-education. This creates more efficient and effective movement patterns, improved posture, positive body awareness and control, which spills over into other areas of your life. Each workout develops strength, flexibility, balance and coordination.
