Pilates
Joseph Pilates developed a method of body conditioning that was originally used to rehabilitate veterans of World War I as well as condition military and civil police. His method was so effective that when he moved to America in 1926, it became the best kept secret by the professional dancers in NYC for almost 30 years.Today, Pilates is the conditioning method of choice for all who want to develop strong abdominals while strengthening and toning muscles without creating bulk. Pilates will sculpt and strengthen your body by developing long, lean and supple muscles with strong abdominals at the core.
Former exercise programs worked to build and strengthen muscles through repetitive exercises such as push-ups, press-ups and weight lifting. Pilates takes it a step further by correcting poor posture while toning and increasing flexibility through progressively more difficult exercises carried out slowly and with concentration.
Regardless of your current fitness level, from a sedentary office worker to a fitness enthusiast, the Pilates program can be your primary mode of body conditioning. Pilates will change the way you look, walk, sit and move. Applying the Pilates principles to all physical activity will improve your appearance, performance and help to prevent injury.
