His family originally spelled their surname in the Greek manner as "Pilatu" but changed to using "Pilates" when they moved to Germany. Apparently, this caused Joseph Pilates much grief because, as a child, older boys taunted him calling him "Pontius Pilate, killer of Christ".<BR/><BR/>Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph H. Pilates in Germany. It is a combination of aerobics and Yoga. It focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, it teaches awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aims to strengthen the deep torso muscles. The benefits include flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination without adding muscle bulk. <BR/> <BR/>Thanks for asking!Mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820183836562312228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-100804128477158477.post-38837695122190563702009-03-15T10:59:00.000-07:002009-03-15T10:59:00.000-07:00Hello Mi.
