More quotes by Joseph Pilates
A man is as young as his spinal column.
Joseph Pilates
Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.
Joseph Pilates
In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 you'll see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a new body
Joseph Pilates
You are only as young as your spine is flexible.
Joseph Pilates
Lazy breathing converts the lungs, literally and figuratively speaking, into a cemetery for the deposition of diseased, dying and dead germs as well as supplying an ideal haven for the multiplication of other harmful germs.
Joseph Pilates
Time and progress are synonymous terms--nothing can stop either. Truth will prevail and that is why I know that my teachings will reach the masses and finally be adopted as universal.
Joseph Pilates
Contrology is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace, and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, in the way you play, and in the way you work.
Joseph Pilates
Never slouch as doing so compresses the lungs, overcrowds other vital organs, rounds the back, and throws you off balance.
Joseph Pilates
If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. IF it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.
Joseph Pilates
Man should develop his physical condition simultaneously with that of his mind.
Joseph Pilates
When all your muscles are properly developed, you will, as a matter of course, perform your work with minimum effort and maximum pleasure.
Joseph Pilates
Normal muscles should function naturally in much the same manner as do the muscles of animals.
Joseph Pilates
Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.
Joseph Pilates
You're only as old as your spine.
Joseph Pilates
By all means never fail to get all the sunshine and fresh air you can.
Joseph Pilates
With body, mind, and spirit functioning perfectly as a coordinated whole, what else could reasonably be expected other than an active, alert, disciplined person?
Joseph Pilates
A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.
Joseph Pilates
Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.
Joseph Pilates
Before any real benefit can be derived from physical exercises, one must first learn how to breath properly. Our very life depends on it.
Joseph Pilates
Physical fitness can neither be acquired by wishful thinking nor by outright purchase.
Joseph Pilates
