Pilates Method: Born of bedsprings and keg rings


Did you know Joseph Pilates (German born) began developing what would become his mat exercise program while in an internment camp in England during World War I?  His original resistance tools, what would become the “reformer” for example, were created from items he could find in the camp like bedsprings and keg rings?

If you’ve ever thought about trying Pilates but thought it might be too hard, or only for people who are in shape, think again.  Pilates is the best partner to nearly any healthy exercise routine!
