Pilates - The Hot New Workout Trend
Pilates is the hottest trend in fitness and body sculpting today. But this seemingly overnight success has actually been around since the early part of the twentieth century, when Joseph H. Pilates and his wife Clara popularized their body conditioning system in New York. Their system quickly took off with New York area dancers and gymnasts. More recently, everyone from Hollywood celebrities to stay at home moms have been taking up the practice of pilates. Even though many of the commercial pilates systems that you see advertised on TV make pilates seem like a breeze, you should be prepared to put your body through an intense yet satisfying workout. Many new pilates participants are often surprised about how challenging many of the pilates workouts feel. However, don’t let this keep you from your pilates practice. Like any new exercise routine, pilates may seem hard at first, but eventually your body begins to “learn” the different movements and you start to see results. The trick is to stick with pilates long enough so that you can see and feel the difference of regular pilates practice.
