Pilates swept across gyms in the UK in the 1990s and its popularity remains today. I'ts no suprise really, as today's modern lifestyle means that our posture and backs are under constant threat from the way we sit at desks or the amount of time we spend in the car.
Whilst pilates machines can cost thousands of pounds, more people are turning to an exercise ball to assist with their pilates workout and enabling them to get the benefits of pilates at home.
If you would like to reap the benefits of pilates with an exercise ball, you can easily learn. Grab yourself a DVD and exercise ball and you'll soon be performing pilates like a pro.
