The Pilates method of body conditioning was developed by German Joseph Pilates more than 70 years ago. For many years, Pilates training remained a well-kept secret in the world of dance and the performing arts. In recent years the growing interest in “mind/body” exercises has bought Pilates concepts to the forefront of fitness training.
The wave of interest has seen stars such as Madonna, Sharon Stone and Jodie Foster using the method and enjoying the benefits of Pilates training techniques. The Pilates method comprises more than 500 exercises, performed as a mat based workout or using special resistance equipment developed by Joseph Pilates and emphasising spring resistance.
The central concept of Pilates training is strengthening the so called “powerhouse” or core of the body-the deep abdominal muscles, buttock muscles and the muscles around the spine. A training program based on Pilates will stabilize the pelvis and shoulder girdle, stretching and strengthening the entire body with movement initiating from “the centre”.
