Joseph Pilates - age 57
|
Joseph Pilates lived from 1880 to 1967. He was a very fit and healthy guy all the way up to the age of 86. His method began in the early 1900s by rehabilitating bedridden patients. He strapped springs and harnesses to the hospital beds for patients to exercise against resistance. In the mid-1900s his method became very popular among many dancers in New York.
