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 program can again be followed at home using
a video or DVD or at classes in your local gym or recreation centre.
