Pilates is a unique method of exercises

Core strength and torso stability, along with the six Pilates principles, set the Pilates method apart from many other types of exercises. Weight lifting, for example, can put a lot of attention on your arm or leg strength without paying much attention to the fact that those parts are connected to the rest of the body! Even running or swimming can seem to train all arms and legs, with either a floppy or tense core.

Ultimately those who really succeed at their sport exercises learn to use their core muscles, but in Pilates this integrative approach is known from the very beginning. Pilates exercises are usually done on a mat or on the floor. It is well known as Pilates Mat Work, it is recommended to do their exercises on special equipment developed by Joseph Pilates. The workout equipment that we use in Pilates generally utilizes pulleys and resistance from the participants, using own body weight and graduated levels of springs. The reformer is probably the best-known piece of resistance equipment that you will encounter at a Pilates studio.

Joseph Pilates

The Pilates Method of special exercises was developed by Joseph Pilates in 1920. It was Joseph Pilates the inventor of a unique system, who was born in Germany and lived in England. He was a well known circus artist and boxer, when he was taken to prison in England; he began developing his traditional floor exercises which would let him preserve his physical form that are known as the Pilates mat work.

Joseph Pilates wanted to help those people who suffered from diseases and injuries. He developed special exercises which would give people relief and joy. It was invention born of necessity that inspired him to utilize items that were available to him, like bedsprings and beer rings, to create resistance exercise equipment for his patients.

On his way to developing a new method he had to work hard to create so called Pilates Method which is very popular among people all over the world. Joseph Pilates studied anatomy, biology and developed his method combining different kinds of sport: body building, wrestling, skiing and diving.

After war, Joseph Pilates suddenly returned to Germany where his reputation as a physical trainer or healer was very high and his system became very popular all over the country. In Germany, he worked for Hamburg Military Police as a trainer. He was so fine in teaching self-defense and physical training. In 1925, he was asked to train soldiers of German army. But he refused to that, he could realize the difference between positive and negative significance of sports activities. Instead of this he packed his bags and took a boat to New York City. On the boat to America, Joseph met Clara, a medical nurse on the boat, who became his wife and partner. He went on his work to establish his studio in New York and Clara worked with him. They worked out their famous method of exercises, helped to invent equipment, and of course, worked hard to train a lot of students.
