The story of Joe Pilates is inspirational. He designed a series of vigorous physical exercises to correct muscular imbalances which would improve posture, co-ordination, balance, strength and flexibility. These, along with a focus on increasing breathing capacity, would eventually form the cornerstone of his method.
