Bergen County, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/24/2013 -- It is common knowledge that regular exercise is a must for anyone who wants to be in good shape and maintain a healthy body. One of the exercise routines that have captured the interest of more than 10 million health buffs in the United States - and counting - is Pilates. Named after its formulator Joseph Pilates, the exercise system is essential in helping fortify muscles, stepping up flexibility and promoting overall health. The pilates exercises are executed on a mat and on particularly designed equipment.

PilatesFitness.com shares comprehensive information on Pilates, offering a plethora of articles that shed light on the highly popular workout program. The website is the go-to resource for anyone seeking to start the Pilates habit, or make improvements to their ongoing routine.

Going in-depth on Pilates as a form of exercise program PilatesFitness.com describes the workout as "contrology," as it is essentially based on core strength and progresses throughout the extremities. The website notes that Pilates is similar to corrective exercise or medical gymnastics where the mind controls muscle movement. The system banks on the principle that strong core muscles are able to support the spine and control superficial muscles to assist in movement.

According to PilatesFitness.com, Pilates stretches, strengthens and relaxes the body to enhance natural alignment. Notably, the program is best suited to Americans who, due to diet and lifestyle, mostly have weak core muscles and suffer low back pain as a result. Pilates, with an objective to develop core strength, flexibility and awareness, is seen as an important factor in achieving efficient and graceful movement in everyday life.

PilatesFitness.com explains that Pilates demands an intense focus throughout each exercise. The way an exercise is done is more important than the exercise itself. In the end, people who practice Pilates can have stronger, longer and leaner bodies, coupled with an increased ability to function.

The extensive exercise program that it is, Pilates is backed by key principles that can be rather complicated for beginners and advanced levels alike. To help people really understand the effectiveness of the routine, PilatesFitness.com is featuring the eBook written by Shannon McGee, titled "Teaching Pilates in Plain English" which interested individuals can download for free. The free eBook discusses Pilates, and the way that it can fix the body and heal in many ways.
