It can prevent injuries, rehabilitate, and even give you a brand new body.Invented by Joseph Pilates in 1912, the method was designed for WWI, injured and bed-ridden soldiers. He rigged springs to hospital beds, allowing his patients to exercise against resistance, to help them get their bodies moving again, develop core strength, and to rehabilitate their muscles. Originally designed for men and then later targeted to elite athletes and ballet dancers, Pilates is truly for everyone. It’s perfect for pregnant women, new mothers, golfers, college and professional athletes, and even celebrities are taking advantage of the life changing results and health benefits of Pilates.

Mat can be done anywhere, on the beach, in the gym, in your home, even in a hotel room. Mat Pilates focuses on using your own body weight, using resistance training, and tends to be a little harder. Pilates with the Reformers uses equipment which incorporates the use of springs for resistance and assistance training. It has a carriage that glides back and forth as you do the exercise. The Pilates equipment allows the body to keep pressure off the joints and the individual to get into more deeper and challenging poses.Joseph Pilates said "In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you'll see the difference, and in 30 sessions you'll have a complete new body."
