Vitality Pilates

“Sports are wonderful for constitution generally, but they are of little value for correcting what’s wrong with you—and there’s something wrong with almost everyone. ‘Corrective exercise’ is a nasty pill to most people, but it’s the only way to build a beautiful, strong, youthful and 100% healthy body. It would be swell if it could be done by games—but it can’t. The doctors back us up in this. Practically all sports, like all labor, are one-sided. The man who swings a tennis racket all day is forging himself a lopsided body as surely as the man who wields a pick. The athlete, as much as the man or woman who sits all day at a desk, needs remedial exercises to counterbalance the effects of his daily physical habits.”
