Pilates is mindful exercise designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. It has proven itself invaluable not only as a fitness tool, but also as an important adjunct to professional sports training and post-rehabilitation practices. Because it is gentle on the joints, it is adaptable to various body types, injuries and limitations.
It was originally created in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates to improve his health and those of W.W.I hospital patients. Although other tools exist, there are four main pieces of equipment used in Pilates and they are mats, reformers, cadillacs and Wunda chairs. The Pilates equipment uses the resistance of springs to create effort. Matwork often uses props like balls and bands to mimic that resistance.
Practiced faithfully, Pilates yields numerous benefits. Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing, strength and flexibility, particularly of the abs and back muscles, coordination, posture, balance, and core strength may result. Bone density and joint health improve, and many experience positive body awareness.
