Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises.....

Transform your body, become as supple as and move with the grace of a tiger "Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises designed to produce only bulging muscles. ...

Push yourself beyond your limits

“As difficult as your toughest workout may be, you will not perish from the discomfort you experience.

If you consistently do this, you will learn how to never accept failure as an option.” Nav Vii
