At a young age Joe studied the body, as well as Eastern and Western forms of exercise such as Yoga, wrestling, martial arts, gymnastics, acrobatics, and boxing, among many others.  Joe developed a series of floor routines that demanded balance, flexibility, strength, power, agility and acute mental focus in order to execute them correctly.  He called his method \u201c<strong>Contrology<\/strong>\u201d (using the mind to control the body).  He went one step further by combining his engineering skills with his knowledge of health and the body to design specialized exercise apparatus using springs, pulleys and movable platforms to create variable-resistance workouts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1433jg-f323520691467b4c8c1b5413b6403f7b av_one_half  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-l0tc1xrg-229f8f756e61feef0fd1858f8cc8242f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>As far back as the early 1900s he was already focusing on core-based, functional training that developed spine stability and mobility, proper breathing, efficient circulation of blood and lymph, plus mental acuity. It\u2019s as if new science is still catching up with Joe Pilates\u2019s understanding of what the body needs to function optimally and experience longevity. In fact, it seems as if he designed his Method to be more than just an exercise system; but a lifestyle and a mindset.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-rpin8-c773f5a25636d66c0e08a5aa06f60de0 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-589'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jmvok-3ad6d24765c179d06b49362c7862d22b\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-jmvok-3ad6d24765c179d06b49362c7862d22b{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-jmvok-3ad6d24765c179d06b49362c7862d22b .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-jmvok-3ad6d24765c179d06b49362c7862d22b .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-jmvok-3ad6d24765c179d06b49362c7862d22b av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-13  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Complete Works of Joseph Pilates<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-cw6ss-8b93aade90fd1349f85086076ff48ec8 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_one_fourth  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kumivi99-3aaf9b011245fa8ff169e8d5859e704e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Jospeh Pilates wrote and published 2 books \u201cYour Health\u201d in 1934 and \u201cReturn to Life Through Contrology\u201d in 1945 (a copy can be borrowed at the studio).<\/p>\n<p>As often happens with true genius, Pilates\u2019 body-mind approach to working out was about 50 years ahead of its time.
