You might first ask - what is Pilates?
Pilates (pronounced /pi'la:ti:z/) is an ideal form of intelligent exercise offering
complete body conditioning that focuses on strengthening the deep support/core muscles and balancing all
muscle groups around the joints of the entire body.
It is an integral key to rehabilitation and prevention of injuries. Progression of the exercises promotes and
challenges strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. |
Joseph Pilates created "The Pilates Principles" to condition one's body through:
- Breathing
- Pelvic placement
- Rib cage placement
- Scapular movement
- Head & cervical spine placement
Believing that mental and physical health are integral to each other, Joseph Pilates developed his system
of exercise to rehabilitate injured WWI soldiers by strengthening, stabilizing and stretching key
muscles with emphasis on control and form. |
Everyone should be doing Pilates.
It can be combined with your riding, weight training, running, biking, tennis, ice-skating, triathlons or whatever
activity in which you participate.
A stronger core helps all of us - from teenagers needing to improve body awareness - to
pro athletes wanting to be more competitive and for those who
suffer from chronic back/joint pain. |
