i-Pilates.com Releases an Introduction to Pilates
Mount Kisco, NY (PRWEB) August 27, 2005
According to i-Pilates.com, Pilates is a series of exercises designed to improve flexibility and strength through a variety of stretching and balancing movements. It was developed by Joseph Pilates, a prisoner of war during the Second World War, and has become increasingly popular.
From when he was very young, Pilates took inspiration from the ancient Indian art of yoga, Zen Buddhism, and physical exercises of the Greek and Roman empires and conducted experiments that helped him gain strength.
Pilates introduced his exercises to the inmates of the German internment camp, helping them keep physically fit. He also introduced mat workout and physical exercise equipment made from bed springs.
According to i-Pilates.com, Pilates has recently become particularly popular among dancers, athletes, celebrities and models, because in addition to helping to develop flexibility without causing a strain on the muscles, it also helps improve posture.
A regular Pilates regimen results in a flatter stomach and a thinner waist and thighs, as well as increasing mobility in joints. Like yoga, it also relieves stress and anxiety.
Chiropractic consultants recommend Pilates for strengthening the back and the spine. Physiotherapists also recommend Pilates, to those seeking rehabilitation after injuries to their limbs.
Pilates is also recommended for the elderly, people suffering from osteoporosis, and people who are overweight.
Pilates has become quite popular among athletes, dancers and actors because the workout improves not just the body but mind as well. PilatesÂ’ balanced approach ensures that no muscle group is overworked and as a result the body works as an efficient, holistic system.
According to i-Pilates.com, Pilates is for everyone – the young, the old, the sedentary, the athletic, and those who have a physical disability.
Pilates helps improve strength, tone, flexibility and balance, and makes the body less prone to injury. It reduces stress, relieves tension, and boosts energy through deep stretching.
It creates a stronger, more flexible spine, promotes recovery from injury, increases joint motion, improves circulation, heightens neuromuscular coordination, corrects muscle groups, enhances mobility, agility and stamina, and improves the look and feel of your body.
