Pilates is a physical fitness technique developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany.The UK and the USA. As of 2005, there are 11 million people who carry out the discipline regularly and 14,000 instructors in the United States.
Pilates named his method Contrology because he believed his process uses the mind to control the muscles. The program focuses on the main postural muscles which helps maintain the body balanced and which are crucial to providing support for the spinal column. In particular, Pilates workouts teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.
The Pilates technique seeks to build up controlled movement from a strong core and it does this using a range of apparatuses to guide and train the body. Joe Pilates originally developed his technique as mat exercises (his 1945 “Return to Life” teaches 34 of these), but, in common with several other physical culture systems from the first part of the twentieth century, he used numerous pieces of apparatus to assist people “get the method in their bodies”. Each piece of apparatus has its own repertoire of actions and most of the exercises done on the various pieces of Pilates apparatus are resistance training seeing as they make use of springs to offer additional resistance. Using springs results in “progressive resistance”, meaning the resistance raises as the spring is stretched. The most extensively used piece of apparatus, and in all probability the most imperative, is the Reformer, but other equipment used in a conventional Pilates studio include the Cadillac (also called the Trapeze Table), the high (or electric) chair, the Wunda Chair, the baby Chair, and the Ladder Barrel, the Spine Corrector (Step Barrel) and small barrel. Lesser used apparatus includes the Magic Circle, Guillotine Tower, the Pedi-Pole, and the Foot Corrector.
