Joseph Pilates And The Invention of Pilates
- German-born Joseph Pilates was living and working in England as a circus performer and boxer.
- At the start of WWI, he was placed in forced internment. While in the internment camp, he developed floor exercises.
- Later on, he began rehabilitating detainees who were suffering from injuries and illness. Necessity led him to use available items like bed springs and beer keg rings to create resistance exercise equipment.
