Describe Joseph Pilates

Fitness has grown to a multibillion dollar industry. The idea of fitness has influenced millions of lives whether the correlation was as a career, lifestyle, or an occasional hobby. People globally compete in bodybuilding, physique, and powerlifting meets earning thousands of dollars depending on their successes. Though they seem pointless at first, even the sixty second long infomercials on television advertising the new and approved anywhere gym equipment or perfect diet has made the viewer at least contemplate their health.

Some people in the fitness industry manipulate diet and exercise to create the body stature they desire.

They tend to date its beginnings to when it became the science and subject matter we have come to know today and was introduced in our school systems as a potential degree to major in. Through research and digging into the world’s history I have found the origins of kinesiology to date back as far as 384 B.C.

independent and unique form of fitness the world has ever seen; from its unconventional founder

Being involved in the Fitness and Sports Medicine Industry for the past twenty years, I've seen and used every form of exercise machine, fad program, and group class imaginable. I've seen and done some scary things and have learned from my mistakes and observations.

Joseph began his career as a professor at the Royal Military Academy. At the school he began his career at, Royal Military Academy, he spent his time there teaching calculus and mechanics. He was only 19 at the time when he had started teaching and beginning his long career of mathematics. Then in 1766 he started working at Berlin Academy. When he was at the Berlin Academy he was the director of the school. In 1787 he left Berlin and went to Paris.  He had remained in Paris when the French revolution broke out. This was in the year of 1789. Surprisingly he was not ordered to leave like most foreigners. He then just continued his career and actually began focusing more on his own writings.

Pilates involves the connection of the mind and entire body to practice. By being aware of your mind and body position, you can practice breathing, control, concentration, and centering the body. These can help improve your posture and flexibility. In addition, it can make your body feel, look, and perform better by being engaged and energized. Once you have connected your mind and body as a whole, your body will be able to move in a more well-organized approach. The activities involved in pilates requires you to pay attention to your body in every movement.

Several students of Joseph’s, as well as his wife’s later went on and shared the teachings they were taught to others. Now, not only did soldiers know the techniques, but so did dancers, models, actors, famous athletes, business professionals, as well as housewives. Many Pilates studios are found all over the world; in health sections, racks of DVDs are found in bookstores with instructions on the method also. From what I have learned so far of the exercise— what Pilates means to me is one’s ability to being able to get workout results wanted from the precision, focus, and effort that is put into the workout without the quantity of how many reps one can achieve being the goal. Pilates also helps the mind stay at ease from whatever frustrations someone may be

Joseph Licklider was born in St. Louis, Missouri on March 11, 1915. His dad, Joseph Parron Licklider, a Baptist minister. His mom’s name is Margaret Robnett Licklider. At 15, he bought an old junker and took it apart again and again, trying to figure out its inner workings. For years thereafter, he refused to pay more than $50 for a car; whatever shape it was in, he could fix it up and make it go.

As I got an invitation to go to open gym with my friends, my main thoughts were, “I hope I can get some new skills tonight.” Little did I know, my thoughts about four hours later would be, “I have never been so upset, angry, or disappointed in my life.” As I walked into the cold, noisy gym, I was prepared to achieve my round off back handspring back tuck. I assured myself that I would be able to do it successfully. I wished that the ground was as soft and comforting as the dark trampoline with orange and blue bumpers. Seeing girls doing back walkovers on the thin, beige, four- inch beam, swinging their bodies around the slippery, uneven bars, and flipping themselves into the sky blue, squishy mat made me tell myself, “If they can do that,

Better Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Long Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the user with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines used primarily by physical therapists. At a recent trade show, demonstrations of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BFI received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period. As a result, management decided to begin
