Determined to become stronger, he practiced a variety of sports and gradually developed his own approach to physical training.<\/p>\n<p>When the First World War broke out, Joseph Pilates was interned in a camp in England because of his German nationality. It was there that he created exercises to help injured and bedridden patients maintain their muscle strength. By attaching hospital bed springs to metal frames, he developed the first pieces of equipment that would later inspire the famous <strong>Reformer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After the war, he moved to New York and opened his first studio. His method quickly gained popularity among professional dancers before spreading around the world. Today, <strong>Pilates is practiced by millions of people<\/strong> to improve their strength, posture, and mobility.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-119807&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;137362&#8243; sep_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; el_width=&#8221;23&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;193259&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:35;2494-2528\">Different ways of practicing Pilates<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;877087&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;120264&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;three-two&#8221; shape=&#8221;img-round&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;271982&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;120266&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; shape=&#8221;img-round&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;239075&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;120273&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;three-two&#8221; shape=&#8221;img-round&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;307563&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shadow=&#8221;sm&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;345478&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;135175&#8243;]There isn&#8217;t just one way to practice Pilates.
