The Pilates exercise technique is named after Joseph Pilates (1890 to 1967). He was famous for his strong muscled body, and brought his exercise protocol and uniquely designed exercise equipment to the United States after WW1, at the invitation of a famous boxer who wanted Joseph to be his personal trainer. Joseph studied ALL of the exercise techniques that existed in his day, incorporating Diaphragmatic Breathing ( he had asthma and breathing exercises were necessary for him to tolerate activity), Yoga, Marial Arts, Greek and Roman Gymnastics, and Boxing.
There are several principles employed in the technique, with a focus on utilizing total body weight exercises against gravity, on a mat, or on his spring loaded moving platform exercise equipment.
Grow tall, lean, strong, core and pelvic floor muscles, finish with good posture, and functional flexibility and strength. Pilates is a discipline, and it is progressive, building your movement patterns stronger and stronger over time.
