His health was fragile because of a thorax malformation, and he dedicated his life to improving his physical condition. It worked for him, and in many areas, he was an accomplished sportsman. Pilates is an exercise that builds muscle strength and is very popular in the United States. Recently it has appeared in France, where classes are held in sports clubs, and specialist facilities are being decided to open to meet the demand from an increasing number of fans. Why? Because Pilates is not just a session about gymnastics. It takes a particular path, combining muscular work with self-centering. It's another way of looking at the effort, following the philosophy of mentally mastering the body. To name the most famous ones, it is practiced on the floor, or on special machines such as the Reformer, the Cadillac, and the Wunda Chair. Machines Pilates. Must not be put off by their unattractive appearance. They are not machines for torture, and you need not be an acrobat to use them. They 're fun and offer an extensive, scalable way to work with the body. Pilates on floor. The floor Pilates method is now a complete sequence that can be implemented at different difficulty stages. The simplicity of the floor exercises (this is their advantage over the machines) means that, once you are familiar with the method, you can practice them anywhere using just one mat. Remember this golden rule; however: each level corresponds to an increase in effort that you must follow. While some exercises might seem basic, mastering them and then practice them regularly was nonetheless essential. Pilates Accessories Floor Pilates also utilizes accessories like the disk, rubber band, and big or small ball to make the movements tougher and more fun. We have chosen to speak about the last two of our demonstration. The little ball: this is often placed between the knees or ankles for the inner thighs to work. Held between the knees, it is not essential but offers the benefit of toning the muscles of the adductor in an exercise designed to increase spine awareness. The huge ball or Pilates ball: this is used to support part of the body, to improve movement control, or to check the balance as unstable support. For a more in-depth workout, it requires an additional effort from the stabilizing muscles. Pilates' ability to strengthen the core, sculpt long, thin legs, and increase strength and flexibility has long been praised. Since the 1930s, professional dancers have been using Pilates to maintain peak performance and prevent injury. Pilates became popular among celebrities in the late ' 80s for increasing strength without muscle mass. Yet a common misconception, despite its popularity with actors and dancers, is that only people who are already-fit can do Pilates. This is totally not true! Pilates can help anyone, of any age and fitness level, make lasting changes in their posture, core strength, flexibility, and overall fitness when practiced properly. Originally, Joseph Pilates called his method "Contrology"—the analysis of control — because he claimed that the activities involved total power of the mind, body, and soul. "Contrology"
