Pilates
Pilates is popular as it increases core strength, improves posture, improves balance, increases flexibility and muscle tone and promotes mental and physical well being.
Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates, born in 1880, to successfully improve the bad health he suffered as a child. Joesph gained enough strength to become a bodybuilder, diver and skier and was used by the British army to help rehabilitate injured soldiers in the first world war.
Pilates is just as relevant today. The controlled movements strengthen the core muscles, realign the body and help correct postural problems.
It's a hotly demanded trend in today's lifestyle with stress, bad posture and back pain affecting so many people.
