Pilates Incor­po­rates Mind and Body

Pilates body con­di­tion­ing is one of the most pop­u­lar forms of exer­cise today –nearly 500 stu­dios nation­wide teach the rig­or­ous exer­cise dis­ci­pline devel­oped by Joseph Pilates (pi-LAH-teez). A Ger­man boxer and fit­ness trainer, Pilates came to the United States in the 1920s and set up the first stu­dio in New York. His exer­cise method incor­po­rates into its 500 well-defined, con­trolled move­ments a phi­los­o­phy of focus and con­cen­tra­tion derived from his back­ground in yoga and Zen med­i­ta­tion. The Pilates method of con­di­tion­ing also uti­lizes spe­cial equip­ment and mats. In recent years, chain fit­ness cen­ters have begun to include Pilates-inspired exer­cises in their pro­grams. The exact Pilates method, how­ever, is a reg­is­tered trade­mark. If you want gen­uine Pilates train­ing, look for an instruc­tor with Pilates Stu­dio cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion requires 600 hours of train­ing, which cov­ers anatomy instruc­tion, how to use the equip­ment, and how to do the exer­cises properly.

Com­pared with step aer­o­bics, cardio-kickboxing, or indoor cycling, Pilates relies less on “going for the burn” and more on grad­ual, method­i­cal place­ment and move­ment. Instruc­tion is pro­vided by a trained teacher on a one-to-one basis or in very small groups. Because of the small student-teacher ratio, you can begin Pilates exer­cises at your own fit­ness level and not worry as much as you might in a larger class that you will be left behind. The Pilates style of teach­ing also allows instruc­tors to tai­lor the exer­cises to age, abil­ity, and any pres­ence of prior injury.

PRECISE EXERCISES

Pilates exer­cises are designed to uni­formly develop mus­cles through the use of five spe­cial pieces of equip­ment and a padded mat. The equip­ment at the heart of the Pilates method was inspired by Joseph Pilates’ work dur­ing World War I. He designed exer­cise machin­ery for immo­bi­lized patients using spring ten­sion as resis­tance. Along that line, the clas­sic piece of stu­dio equip­ment, the Reformer, has pul­leys and cables that exer­cis­ers push or pull with their hands or feet. The equip­ment has hand– holds, sup­ports, and posi­tion­ing bars that exer­cis­ers use to stretch fur­ther and into posi­tions unreach­able on the mat alone.

Grav­ity allows the body to sup­ply its own resis­tance while on the mat. Com­par­a­tively few repetitions—10 at most—are needed for each exer­cise. Pilates move­ments focus on core mus­cle groups known as “the pow­er­house” –the abdomen, lower back, and but­tocks –and empha­size deep, coor­di­nated breath­ing. Pilates exer­cises aren’t jar­ring to joints, so if you have a his­tory of joint prob­lems you may be able to do them under the super­vi­sion of a trained instruc­tor with­out fear of injury or joint or mus­cle stress. Well-done Pilates exer­cises strengthen the trunk and pelvis so lower-back strain is rare, even among beginners.

FROM ARTHRITIS RELIEF TO BODY ENHANCEMENT

Phys­i­cal ther­a­pists, sports injury experts, and chi­ro­prac­tors have dis­cov­ered Pilates train­ing as a way for their clients to pre­vent or recover from soft-tissue injuries. Enthu­si­asts report relief from back, neck, and arthri­tis pain. It has even been intro­duced as a part of mus­cu­lar ther­apy for mul­ti­ple scle­ro­sis suf­fer­ers. Addi­tion­ally, some of the exer­cises are par­tic­u­larly ben­e­fi­cial to women because they strengthen the mus­cles of the abdomen and pelvic floor, impor­tant for main­tain­ing con­ti­nence. They also help con­di­tion abdom­i­nal mus­cles before and after childbirth.

The Pilates method may be dif­fi­cult at first, but after a few ses­sions, par­tic­i­pants may feel enough dif­fer­ence in pos­ture and mus­cle tone, as well as reduced stress, to want to stick with it. And as we all know, stick­ing to a pro­gram is one of the great­est chal­lenges of exercising.

Can Pilates give you the edge?

Jan 9th

Posted by Webmaster in PILATES IN THE NEWS

From efit.com

The Pilates’ elec­tric chair is more than a hot seat; it may spark you to a new level of fitness.

(Nutri­cise) — Believe it or not, a form of exer­cise that was orig­i­nally designed to help immo­bi­lized patients recover from injuries sus­tained in World War I is now the hottest method of body con­di­tion­ing among the world’s top ath­letes. The exer­cises and appa­ra­tuses that Joseph Pilates invented as a nurse dur­ing the war laid the foun­da­tion for the total mind-body work­out that he brought to New York in the 1920’s and which is now becom­ing the con­fessed secret weapon of many com­pet­i­tive athletes.

Pilates teaches 500 exer­cises per­formed on mats and spring-based con­trap­tions with funny names, such as the Cadil­lac and the Elec­tric Chair. The exer­cises tar­get what Pilates him­self termed the body’s “pow­er­house” (the stom­ach, back and but­tocks). The phi­los­o­phy is that with a strong and sta­ble core, the torso will take pres­sure off the more frag­ile limbs while improv­ing breath­ing, bal­ance, strength, flex­i­bil­ity and align­ment. Brooke Siler, co-owner of re:AB, the renowned Pilates stu­dio in New York and author of The Pilates Body (Broad­way Books, 2000), says that many ath­letes, recre­ational and pro­fes­sional, are drawn to the sys­tem because it trains the body to func­tion at its peak per­for­mance. For exam­ple, she says that Pilates can teach skiers how to lower their cen­ter of grav­ity, increas­ing their speed and improv­ing their bal­ance. Run­ners can learn to power their stride with their but­tocks instead of their hips, tak­ing pres­sure off their knees and ankles.

“Run­ners, cyclists, triath­letes, skiers, foot­ball play­ers are all com­ing to my stu­dio to con­di­tion for their sport. What they’re learn­ing as they progress in their prac­tice is that Pilates also re-conditions their bod­ies so they are not taken out of the game with injury, and they can be as active as pos­si­ble,” says Siler.

Ath­letes are par­tic­u­larly vul­ner­a­ble to injury and chronic pain because they engage in repet­i­tive and stren­u­ous move­ments. Their joints or mus­cles can become impacted, espe­cially as they age. Siler says Pilates is able to lengthen tight mus­cles, improve range of motion and “injury proof” the body. Pilates is also thought to cor­rect imbal­ances suf­fered by ath­letes, such as ten­nis play­ers and base­ball pitch­ers, who have devel­oped one side of the body more than the other.

For­mer com­pet­i­tive skier, Bai­ley Gim­bal, has been prac­tic­ing Pilates between two and four times a week for about 14 months. At age 46, Gim­bal says that he’d been walk­ing around with recur­ring pain from old injuries from his com­pet­i­tive days, such as torn mus­cles and a recon­structed shoul­der. “After a few months of Pilates they were gone,” he says. What’s more, he has gone down two full suit sizes while main­tain­ing his old weight. He’s tried all kinds of train­ing (yoga, run­ning, weight lift­ing and mar­tial arts) but says that only Pilates was able to make him feel truly centered—both phys­i­cally and mentally.

Many health clubs are offer­ing Pilates mat classes that pro­vide intense abdom­i­nal work­outs. If you are a non-athlete who is new to Pilates, you might con­sider work­ing one-on-one with a cer­ti­fied Pilates instruc­tor to ensure cor­rect form and pre­vent strain on your lower back. Although the pop­u­lar­ity of Pilates among ath­letes is a trib­ute to its effec­tive­ness, it was designed for peo­ple of all fit­ness lev­els or, “any­one with a body,” Siler says. “Joseph Pilates believed that every per­son is an ath­lete and that we all have a right to be strong and healthy. Prac­tic­ing Pilates can guar­an­tee this right.”

Brooke Siler is a cer­ti­fied Authen­tic Pilates™ instruc­tor, Pilates Guild mem­ber, owner of Re-ab Pilates Stu­dio in Man­hat­tan, and author of Pilates Body.
