Pilates Fitness Program
Developed by Joseph Hubertis
Pilates as far back as the
early 1900's, Pilates is based
upon developing & improving
body posture & flexibility
of movement originally using
the resistance of springs.
Pilates can be practised using
specially designed equipment
or performing exercises based
on the Pilates system simply
on a mat. Pilates has spawned
many different versions which
are available today. Pilates
fitness programs are available
on video or DVD to use with
or without equipment, for
you to follow at home or you
could try your local gym to
see if they run classes there.
Step Fitness Program
Step is basically a form of
aerobic exercise involving
stepping on & off a step
quite often to music. You
can follow this fitness program
from a video or DVD at home
using a simple piece of equipment
or in a group at your local
gym or recreation centre.
Aerobics Fitness Program
Aerobics is a fitness program
in numerous different formats
but basically involves lots
of movement such as arm raises,
leg raises, kicks, stretching,
lunging
,
bending etc to music. The
type & frequency of movements
should depend upon your current
level of fitness. The fitness
