It's no secret that Americans are some of the most out-of-shape people on earth. It's also common knowledge that many of the physical aches and pains we experience have strong psychological and spiritual roots and that everything from work to current events can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, tired or even depressed.

For many people, the powerful mind-body-spirit practice of Pilates has proven to be the perfect antidote. A nurturing yet challenging form of exercise, Pilates is an ideal way to get in shape.

Depending on how often you practice, its physical benefits include: improving tone, building muscle, increasing flexibility, aquiring greater energy, improving strength, and even losing weight! Just as important, Pilates is wonderful tool for making peace with your body and incorporating a greater sense of calm and well-being into your daily life.

While most people begin the practice because they want to look good, most stay with it because it makes them feel better too. They appreciate the fact that Pilates is about the "whole," and they enjoy the improvements it brings in many areas of their lives. Pilates truly is more than "just another workout." It's a way of life - one you'll be glad you pursued.

About Rael Pilates: All of the exercises in the Rael Pilates series were inspired by the works of Joseph and Clara Pilates. The choreography has been modified but the essence of each movement has remained true to the source. Pilates focuses on the core of the body, namely the spine. During Pilates practice, you'll often hear more about toning and conditioning. Pilates can be combined with any number of other exercise practices and pursued at a variety of intensity levels. If you're a serious runner for example, you can use Rael Pilates' System 17 to provide a good warm-up prior for your jog, while Rael System 27 provides more of a cardiovascular workout.
