16.01.2022 I wrote a piece about Exercise Science and Pilates, and it turned out to be a love letter to the method: I have a Masters degree in Exercise Science and am a NS...CA certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. For us, Sports and Exercise are categorized, built on scientific principles, informed by a solid body of scientific evidence and, most importantly, quantifiable. I am also a classical Pilates Teacher. Pilates is built on principles as well, but they’re not scientific and they’re not even established by the creator of the method. Pilates is categorized, but to such an illogical degree that only an insider understands what the specific terms actually stand for. There is Pilates research, but it often lacks standardization, validity and reliability, as well as direction. Lastly, even though Pilates uses resistance, the loads are not reliably quantifiable. For years I struggled to incorporate my background Pilates into the structures of Exercise Science. Today a light bulb went off, and that in a thread by Lee Artur and Eddie Adi Ron on Adam McAtee 's page. The solution had actually been right in front of me all the time: My mentor Bob Liekens had always said Pilates is your glass of water in the morning, it prepares you for all the other things you do. What if Pilates is its own category, and I had tried to fit Pilates into a mold that it actually doesn’t fit into? That is the answer! So if Pilates doesn’t fit into the Exercise Science mold, then what is it, and what are its advantages? Pilates is a movement method with an extraordinary range of adaptability. The load (springs) may not easily be measured and linearly progressed, but it can be used for support (like external muscles) or for resistance, which is an amazing concept if you think about it more closely. It’s like dumbbells that apply load AND antigravitational forces at the same time. Pilates has its own ways of progressive overload - you don't add springs until they're all used, or repetitions. Instead, you may be required to use additional coordination, additional muscle groups, overcome psychological challenges, add more stability, increase your ranges of motion, breathing, achieving an increased Zone of Apposition, to name a few. These challenges overload the system which leads to adaptations, yet they are not necessarily recognized by the principles of Exercise Science. The use of springs assists in increasing joint range of motion under load (compressive forces) as well as under tensile forces, which is not easily possible under different types of load, where ROM is confined to the strength capacity to resist the load. While Pilates was not conceived as strength building per se, it has strengthening effects on a deconditioned population, while it is also safe to be used by such population which often has various comorbidities. On the other side of the spectrum, even for very advanced Pilates practitioners with decades of Pilates experience, Pilates proves to be a continuously challenging path. Pilates also has a remarkable range of acceptance among professions, such as other exercise professions, as well as the medical field. Some professions even took the method and modified it to their own needs, such as Physical Therapists. While it is challenging to apply Exercise Science principles to Pilates, it is important to note that the body needs to be challenged in order to adapt. That is simply a physiological fact. If you do the same routine every session, without adding progressions in the form of more advanced exercises, increased or decreased spring loads, increased ROM or control, you’re wasting your time. Now if you lift weights you may ask where Pilates fits into your routine. The answer is on your off or deload days. Pilates is a great way to remind your body that there are other variables, there are other types of loads and there are other planes of motion. I believe it makes much more sense to let Pilates be Pilates and explore the different perspectives it poses, rather than trying to make it strength or aerobic training and trying to apply FITT progressions as suggested by Exercise Science principles. Lift on your on days and let Pilates be your glass of water in the morning on your off days.

01.01.2022 The diaphragm is a muscle that can compensate for any other muscle. We do that by holding our breath. The diaphragm has local relationships to the other core mu...scles and global relationships to the extremities. This blog highlights these and more.

01.01.2022 Happy birthday to this whisky-drinking, cigar-smoking bad ass. He loved body-building, martial arts, gymnastics and boxing. Before coming to NY, he made a livin...g as a circus performer and self-defense trainer for police. When he was sent to an internment camp for German citizens in England during WW1, he used his time to work with fellow inmates and develop his contrology exercise system. He fled Germany and immigrated to NYC in the 20s, where he was embraced by the performing arts community (including many dancers who went on the teach and share his work). He believed that modern culture, incorrect posture and poor breathing habits were at the root of health problems. He believed in dry brushing and keeping skin/pores clean and free from lotions. He believed you should spend as much time as possible outdoors, in the sunshine and fresh air, and walked around in his skivvies everywhere including the streets of New York, year round. The Contrology system, later named Pilates, used the mind to control the body and focused on deep core abdominal muscles to build full-body strength and improve stamina. He used everything from bed springs to whisky kegs to create his apparatuses. He was a true inventor. So you see, Pilates is not about stretching. Yes, you get more flexible, but it’s not the point. It’s a fiercely challenging, yet incredibly rewarding exercise system that helps people achieve their maximum physical potential. You’ll be sweating from the smallest movements, and using your entire body to move a single limb, but after 30 lessons, every single move you make in your life will be easier. See more
