What Does a Pilates Instructor Do?
Pilates is a physical fitness system developed by Joseph Pilates in Germany in the early 20th century, and is more of a workout than a therapy. Pilates practice increases flexibility, strength, endurance, and control. It emphasizes strengthening the core, which are the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, and hips. Breathing and alignment are also vital parts of the Pilates program. A person’s body weight is used for resistance training either on the floor, on a mat or using specialized Pilates equipment.
