Joseph Pilates was the founder of Pilates and now the extension of his teachings is in Aero Pilates.
Pilates helps people build muscle strength and stabilization without the muscle bulk. Various resistance exercises are the basis of pilates. Aero Pilates extends the original metholdology of Joseph Pilates of movements to enhance strength and stabilization, by using machines to help achieve pilates goals. In particular a vertical trampoline, known as a cardio rebounder is used. This mini spring board provides the user with low impact cardiovascular training, which helps to improve the heart health and a more rapid weight loss. Using a cardio rebounder, is safe for your joints and  tissue, but to instead help strengthen those weaker muscles that are not used regularly. Aero Pilates can help to increase your aerobics endurance, as well as increase muscle strength. By using an aero Pilates machine, you can maintain lean muscle without gaining bulk, increase overall flexibility, especially in the hips and also increase your strength to body weight ratio.
