NYRR Pilates+ for Runners
What Is Pilates+ for Runners?
Pilates (puh-LAH-teez) is a physical and mental conditioning
program focused on improving flexibility and strength without
building bulk. It is based on the teachings of the German-born
physiologist Joseph H. Pilates, who opened New York City’s
first Pilates studio in the 1920s. Pilates+ for Runners offers athletes of all levels a means
to improve posture, lengthen muscles, and develop core abdominal
and back strength.
