Convinced Pilates is just for women? That seems to be a common myth. Perhaps, if Joseph Pilates' method had retained the name he gave it, "Contrology," it would sound less exotic, more like the challenging work out he intended, and might be more readily embraced by men.
Many famous pro, collegiate and Olympic athletes incorporate Pilates as an important cross-training workout to strengthen their cores, improve postural alignment, balance muscle imbalances within their bodies and improve flexibility. Recently, Jake Gyllenhaal, star of "King of Persia: The Sands of Time, was photographed leaving the gym after a Pilates workout, and credited Pilates with his muscled-up physique.
Joseph Pilates said, "In 10 sessions, you will feel the difference. In 20, you will see the difference. And in 30, you will be on your way to having a whole new body," (read more about the Pilates Power of Ten).
Art Altounian and Josh Smith tested Mr. Pilates' claim. As told in Art Altounian's guest blog on the Pilates Body NYC site, Art recorded his amazing transformation on video and became an Internet YouTube sensation after losing 17 pounds and completely reshaping his body with 30 Pilates sessions in 60 days.
