When Joseph Pilates first introduced this new exercising method back in 1920s, who could tell it would become so popular. The whole method was designed to help his patients to recover after their physical injuries. That included wounded soldiers and dancers, and all people who needed a different type of exercise to get in physical shape. Today, in many San Francisco Pilates salons you can find great instructors to help you achieve the body you have always dreamed of.

Sometimes it is practiced on the floor, and sometimes different equipment is used. In any case, the point is to make a series of deeply controlled movements, without pressuring joints or risking injuries. The result of this form of exercise is improved muscle strength, balanced body and mind and slimmer and leaner body, in very good physical condition.

The point is to balance body and mind, and to include both in each and every move you make. It means you have to be aware of your muscles, especially the core muscles, in order to achieve your goals. The breathing should also be controlled. The series of movements affects your whole body, especially those muscles that usually get neglected in other forms of trainings.

The problem with some other sports is that you have to get in shape first. Here, you won't be risking getting injured, and you won't experience muscle pains.

Concentrating on every move your make, you are going to activate neglected muscles and improve the shape of your body.

All sessions have to be supervised by highly experienced trainers. They design special exercises for each individual, depending on their health and physical condition. The series of movements is usually designed to help strengthen and tone muscles and improve flexibility. The movements are slow and controlled, relaxing and quite effective, especially when it comes to losing weight.
