To explain the concept of Pilates, so no time is wasted during your first paid session. There is an unfortunate misconception that Pilates is only for women, dancers or the elderly. It is a fact that nowadays women seem to make up the majority of Pilates clientele and it is also true that dancers have found that the method assists in their physical performance and elderly folk find it is less strenuous than other forms of exercise. Joseph was a gymnast, diver, body-builder, wrestler, boxer and a self-defense trainer at schools and Scotland Yard. It is noted that by the time he was 14 years old, he was physically fit enough to pose for anatomical charts. It is also interesting to note that many of Joseph's students survived the 1918 flu pandemic due to the good physical shape they were in. An alarmingly high percentage of men (and women) in today's Western civilization experience lower back pain. This is a result of numerous factors in our day to day lives that affect our posture. Our work, whether it be physical or not very physical at all (ie. sitting behind a desk working on a computer, driving a car, or even just social networking on a cellphone), are all daily activities that inevitably affect one's posture! As the dominant gender, men tend to be more physical than women. And how often after picking up that box or playing with the kids does one complain about some or other body part being in pain? Let's face it, stretching is not exactly on top of the average Joe's to-do-list. Range of motion becomes limited and simple tasks like even tying one's shoelaces becomes an unpleasant event. Apart from developing a better range of motion, stretching helps muscles to recruit more muscle fibres and thus improves strength in the ligaments. Stretching also increases the flow of blood due to micro-tears in the fascia. This in turn will create hypertrophy and the release of IGF1 which is optimal for muscle growth and recovery. By stretching, DOMS is reduced significantly due to the fresh blood carrying nutrients to the worked muscle groups. Rather, the reason for a specially allocated men's class is due to a noticeable faster improvement of male clients within the class, and to meet the different needs between male and female bodies.
