Pilates - Therapy for your mind and body

Although many people think Pilates is another exercise that has just appeared on the mark for a few years ago it was actually created around the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. Unlike many workouts West, pilates method blends Eastern and Western philosophies of exercise your mind and your body.

Pilates focuses on giving you think you live. Although this concept may seem strange, Joseph Pilates believed control of the body intended to control your mind. For this reason called the method "Contrology. In so doing the movements required, you can be sure that in time, you can master the body and mind.

Some people might think Pilates is an easy exercise, but it is generally not those who have never tried to execute movements. While Pilates may seem easy to someone looking away, doing the exercises are quite difficult and requires practice.

During practice, it's common for your arms, legs, and abdominals to start shaking. That is because pilates pinpoints areas of weakness, lack of coordination, and imbalances in your body. To continue holding these positions requires strong mental concentration. Pushing through your weaknesses requires just as much mental strength and practice as it does physical strength and practice. But at the end of the day, you will feel better about yourself (and your body) because you pushed yourself beyond your limitations and emerged victorious on the other side.

Pilates requires perseverance and stays without you long after you've completed your workout for the day. Pilates creates an awareness of your body and allows you to have more self-discipline and control.
