Although Pilates has become more popular only in the late 90s, did you know that the method was invented by Joseph Pilates during the First World War, inspired both by the Yoga discipline Japanese Do-In? Although the exercises are rather easy, the basic principles which should be respected have to do with concentration, balance, and breath control, muscle, and spine. In fact, we must concentrate on each part of the movement, without too much effort and without neglecting anything.
Those who know me know that I've never been precisely the "Sporty Spice" of the group! :-) So, I found the way to say "no" to the sedentary and enjoy physical activity without discomfort and without sweat. Why, compared to other sports, not Pilates sucks all the energy! On the contrary: it seems you are charging the same "pile"! Benefits are many: corrects bad posture, cure various physical ailments, improves flexibility, tonnifica muscles, pull up the morale and it also helps you lose weight! What do we want more?
