A unique method of body conditioning that focuses on core conditioning to strengthen the abdominals and lower back. Using the science of "contrology," it strengthens and tones muscles, improves posture, provides flexibility and balance, and unites body and mind.
When I signed up for a gym membership at my local Y, I browsed the group classes offered in hours I could attend. One in the mornings caught my eye: pilates. I had heard of it and that it is a good form of exercise, but I didn't know much about it. By the description alone I didn't know what to expect. I found out that a mat thicker than a yoga mat was recommended since it is a "mat" class, so I ordered a luxuriously cushion-y teal one. I didn't know that the Y provides mats, but I loved having my own fun-colored mat even on day 1! After my very first 6:45 AM class before work I was SOLD. Since then I have become even more of a fan of pilates. In this post I will share my thoughts on pilates in its various forms.
