Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In order to understand the basics of Pilates and why it can work for you, you first need to understand where Pilates came from. Joseph Pilates is the man that marked the beginning of the history of Pilates and a new method of exercise began.

Susceptibility to asthma, rheumatic fever and rickets left Pilates weak and frail as a child. Pilates was extremely motivated to strengthen his body and overcome his physical obstacles. Not yet a teen, Pilates began researching many types of exercise to aid in his strength-training program.

Joseph first developed the mat exercises and these are the foundation of the entire Pilates Method of body conditioning. Joseph Pilates devised a unique sequence of movements that worked the mind and muscle in harmony.
