let’s step into the world of pilates fitness

So let’s step into the world of pilates fitness! A fitness workout that has attracted millions of people, from Hollywood celebrities to a 60 year old granny.

Firstly, let’s have a brief understanding of pilates fitness. Mention pilates and the name, Joseph Pilates will surface. Known as the ‘father’ of pilates, Joseph Pilates suffered from asthma, rheumatic fever and rickets when he was a young boy. As a result of that, he began his fitness training to gain more physical strength. He was dedicated to study various sorts of exercise to improve his health and wellbeing.

Being a son of  a naturopath and his father, an award winning gymnast, Pilates soon became an expert in human anatomy and became a pro in yoga, skiing, wrestling, and gymnastics. Eventually he developed the Pilates method of exercise and today, the pilates fitness program continues to inspire and improve the lives of many around the world.

Today, there are many Pilates fitness exercise studios, staffed with certified Pilates instructors. Pilates is known to increase muscle tone, improve flexibility, better posture, and even helps to reduce stress. It is no wonder why hollywood celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Cindy Crawford, Madonna, Sharon Stone and Hugh Grant are pilates fitness devotees, to name a few.

But before you think that pilates fitness is a fad and lifestyle exercise program, think again. It is one exercise that can be carried out by most age groups, including pregnant women (always consult your doctor first and only selected pilates movement) and those living in twilight years.
