What the deuce is pilates? I have just looked up a website named pilates.com, which carries seemingly medieval apparatuses that appear to be made for the purpose of bending people into unnatural postures.

Can somebody shed some light on the subject?

Cheers, X-Pat

Pretty neat, huh? and one great advantage is that you don't start arguements here on TV.....of course for some people this would be a disadvantage.
