Pilates is a mind body conditioning exercise to
improve ones posture and balance through low impact exercises. These
exercises strengthen the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and
the spine.
Pilates was originally created by Joseph Pilates, who was born in
Germany in 1880. He was a sickly child who finally recognised his
talent in illness prevention and exercise promotion whilst he was
interned as a prisoner during WWII in England. Joseph used his
exercise ideas with much success on his fellow inmates and later
moved to New York where he spent the rest of his life creating the
Pilates Approach which he used primarily in the dance world. This is
the approach that is widely used today. Pilates is used in both the
fitness industry as well as the medical/rehabilitation fields making
it suitable for men and women of all ages.
