What is Pilates?

Pilates is a form of resistance control exercise that works with the body's organic form of biomechanics and support. It originated from yoga, martial arts and Greco Roman calisthenics. Pilates trains the musculature of the entire body in a balanced organic form. Most exercise programs work only targeted areas of the body or excessively train some muscle groups at the expense of others. With Pilates your entire musculature is evenly conditioned, from top to bottom, inside and out, so as to avoid injuries as well as meet conditioning and lifestyle goals. The end result is a long lean, deeply strong graceful and aware body.
