Series Summary

Pilates is a method of exercise named for its founder, Joseph Pilates. During the first World War, Pilates developed his “Contrology” method to help soldiers and veterans rehabilitate more quickly and improve overall wellbeing by strengthening their core torso muscles. In many varieties of exercise and athletics, the “core” muscles (the muscles of the abdomen, chest, and mid- to lower-back) are considered especially important, keeping the spine aligned and acting as the anchor points for most of the body’s movement. Pilates combined a focused attention to the core muscles and much of the philosophy of yoga (an awareness of mental/spiritual aspects of body movements) to form his method, known today as Pilates.
