Pilates: history, philosophy and benefits
- Developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates
- Pilates was created and developed for men, but has been widely popularized by women. It's one of the fastest growing fitness trends and both men and women are taking advantage of its benefits.
- Helps build flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back. It puts emphasis on spinal and pelvic alignment, breathing, and developing a strong core or center, and improving coordination and balance.
