What differentiates Mari Winsor Pilates from other methods is it's system of "dynamic sequencing", a special combination of controlled movements that are designed to construct long and lean muscles in a shorter time than other workouts. The molding of the body with Mari Winsor Pilates is done through a low-density, calorie-burning session that sculpts your body and helps you lose weight and inches. Pilates generally works with the core muscle groups such as the abdomen, lower back, hips, and buttocks. But it's the dynamic sequencing aspect of Mari Winsor Pilates in particular which makes it increasingly popular with  music icons and professional athletes, and which is bringing this form of exerise into a new level of public recognition.

The pleasure does not end there because as well as  its easy to understand combination of exercises done in a specific order and rhythm to produce incredible results, Mari Winsor Pilates does not require any special equipment and can be done even at home or while traveling. Some people even practice it at work! Thus anyone can do Mari Winsor Pilates at any fitness level.

Lastly, this form of Pilates not only developed the "dynamic sequencing" to help you get toned and sculpted and at the same time, lose weight, but Mari Winsor  is the only program that highlights special "virtual 3-D training" that shows the correct position through its unique view with graphics and special camera angles. Mari Winsor Pilates complete program is easy to follow at your own pace.

Kinds of Pilates Workout Balls

A Pilates work out is a system of physical fitness that was developed in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates. He wrote a minimum of two books about his Pilates method which include 'Return to Life through Contrology' as well as 'Your Health: A Corrective System of Exercising That Revolutionizes the Entire Field of Physical Education'.

His technique Contrology empahsized using the mind to control the muscles whilst the fitness routine focused on the core postural muscles which keep the body balanced whilst providing vital support for the spine. Pilates workouts teach the student awareness of breath as well as aligning the spine and strengthening the deep torso muscles. The strength of these muscles is important in order to avoid and prevent back pain.

A German National with Greek Descent

Joseph Pilates was born in Dusseldorf, Germany in the year 1880 and was a German national but of Greek descent. He was an avid exercise enthusiast who enjoyed skiing, gymnastics, diving. He was also a martial arts student who developed his body into excellent condition and was, in his teens, a fitness charts model.

During the 1918 influenza pandemic he experimented with ways to rehabilitate bed-ridden sufferers and was able to create a series of movements which anyone could practice in closed confines. Later he trained professional boxers one of whom was Max Schmeling, the noted heavyweight champion.

Rather than perform many repetitions of each exercise, Pilates liked lesser and more exact movements that required control as well as form and, in this endeavor, he designed at least 500 specific exercises. The most frequent of these was the mat work that involved a series of callisthenic motions that did not require any weights or apparatus and could be done on a padded mat.

Pilates believed that mental health and physical health were related to and important to each other so he created a system of total body conditioning. This system emphasized correct body alignment, control, centering, concentration and precision as well as breathing and flowing movements. He called them The Pilates Principles which resulted in greater flexibility, strength, toning of the muscle, awareness of the body and more energy, as well as better mental concentration. Applying these key principles to your Pilates workout still gives better results today.
