Add Pilates to Your Fitness Routine

view website
Named after its German inventor, Joseph H. Pilates (pi-LAH-teez), a boxer and dancer who also studied yoga and Zen meditation, the pilates technique encompasses more than 500 controlled, precise movements designed to stretch and strengthen the muscles without adding bulk.  The exercises require concentration - working the body and mind simultaneously.  During private pilates sessions, you will focus on "core" muscles - the abdomen, back, and buttocks - together with deep, coordinated breathing. Correct posture and lower risk of injury are just two benefits of the regimen.
