The mat (also known as Contrology) refers to the original name given by Joseph Pilates to his method of physical fitness. It emphasizes the principles of control, precision, centering, breath and flow of movement. Contrology, now commonly known as Pilates, focuses on developing a strong core, improving flexibility, and promoting overall body awareness and control through a series of controlled and purposeful exercises. I include the use of the Powercircle in my some of my mat classes so you can go deeper into the work!
The fitball is used for various exercises to enhance core strength, stability, and balance. It's commonly employed in fitness routines, including Pilates, to engage different muscle groups and improve overall body coordination.
