Pilates is a type of mind-body exercise developed in the early 20th
century by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates, after whom it was
named. Pilates called his method "Contrology". It is practiced
worldwide, especially in developed countries such as Australia, Canada,
South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States. Pilates uses a
combination of around 50 repetitive exercises to spur muscle exertion.
Each exercise flows from the "five essentials": breath, cervical
alignment, rib and scapular stabilization, pelvic mobility, and
utilization of the transversus abdominis. Each exercise is typically
repeated three to five times. As of 2023, over 12 million people
practice Pilates.
