Went to the Pilates class at my local gym today, and dude, it is one hell of a work out! I'd totally forgotten how amazing it feels to twist yourself into whacky positions -with at least a ball and tube to keep control of at the same time as your ass burns so bad you could set the place on fire. Love it! Very close to ballet in many ways. Looks easy, is everything but.
Not a lot of 70-year old chess-playing grandpas could pull this little move-groove off. Below, Joseph Pilates, the founder of Pilates. Ever since it's evolved into many shapes and forms. I still enjoy the original version. He was a boxer, after suffering of back pains he created this exercise method. Just my kind of a kind. Got a problem? In stead of dwelling on it, think of a way to fix it.
