Pilates
Developed by Joseph H. Pilates (1881-1967) the Legendary Physical
Trainer. When interned in Europe during WWI, Joseph became a nurse. His
experiments in resistance using springs attached to hospital beds strengthened
immobilized patients. His discoveries led him to design the Universal Reformer,
as well as other apparatus used today. A series of exercises evolved combining
systematic movements, coordination, concentration, precision, breath, flow. This
system of movements was to become the foundation to the highly acclaimed and
published workout programs. The mat system refers to a mat, to lie, sit,
kneel, or stand on to perform movements.
