Pilates Metodu veya Pilates yirminci yüzyılın başlarında Joseph Hubert Pilates (1880-1967) tarafından geliştirilmiş fiziksel fitness sistemi. Joseph Pilates Pilates metodu üzerine en az iki kitap yazdı: Return to Life through Contrology ve Your Health: A Corrective System of Exercising That Revolutionizes the Entire Field of Physical Education. Pilates metodunun zihnin kaslar üzerindeki kullanımını desteklediği için Contrology (Kontrol bilimi) olarak adlandı. Pilates, bedenin dengeli tutulmasına yardımcı olan ve omurgayı desteklemekte önemli işlevi olan temel kaslar üzerine yoğunlaşılan bir egzersiz programıdır. Nefes egzersizi teknikleri de yer almaktadır. The original Pilates repertoire was 34 exercises done on the floor on a padded mat (matwork)[9], but Joseph Pilates later invented several pieces of apparatus, each with its own repertoire of exercises. Most of the repertoire done on the various pieces of Pilates apparatus is resistance training since it makes use of springs to provide additional resistance. Using springs results in “progressive resistance”, meaning the resistance increases as the spring is stretched. The most common piece of apparatus is the Reformer, but other apparatus you will find in a modern Pilates studio includes the Cadillac (also called the Trapeze Table), the Wunda Chair, and the Ladder Barrel. Lesser used apparatus includes the Spine Corrector (Step Barrel), the Guillotine Tower, the Arm Chair, the Ped-a-Pul (Pedi-Pole), and the Foot …
FREESTYLER™ PILATES – NEW WAVE REFORMER! The FREESTYLER™ Pilates incorporates virtually every basic Pilates exercise with the added benefit of progressive resistance. It is intended for all who want to strengthen their core muscles, prevent or ward off problems with back pain and develop lean and flexible muscles. The FREESTYLER™ Pilates workout is structured like a typical Pilates class that is done either on a mat, reformers or any other typically used equipment. The FREESTYLER™s unique system of rollers and elastic tubing provides numerous additional benefits in the Pilates workout. Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back muscles as well as coordination, both muscular and mental, are key components in an effective FREESTYLER™ Pilates program. An explosion of demand for Pilates, a method of exercise and physical movement designed to strengthen, stretch, and balance the body is being experienced all over the world. Pilates exercises, as a whole, develop strong abdominal, back and deep postural muscles to support the skeletal system. Together they act as what Pilates called «the powerhouse« of the body. Not only the Pilates Method works to strengthen the centre of the body, the Pilates method also addresses the body as a whole. It works to lengthen the spine, increases body awareness, built muscle tone, and gain flexibility. For more information visit our websites: www.freestylerpro.com, http www.freestylerpro.com
