What Is Pilates?

It’s hard to believe that although it’s a widely accepted form of exercise now, when Pilates Plus opened in 2009, it was a still on the fringe of mainstream fitness options and a big mystery to a lot of people.

Classical pilates, contemporary pilates, authentic pilates, mat pilates, reformer ....

With your body, you feed it nutrients, hydrate, stay on top of your health checks and keep it moving, ....

The Joseph Pilates definition of strength, is having a uniformly developed body with every single muscle strong and functioning to it’s maximum capacity and working in synergy.

I thought it might be a good idea to clear up a few misconceptions about what interval training is and how it applies to Pilates. Let’s start with what interval training actually is.
