Top sportsmen use Pilates

Pilates is used by top sportsmen to improve their fitness and body control.

David Beckham recently stated that he hopes to extend his career to the age of 40 with the help of Pilates. That's far longer than the average age of 32.

Here is a remarkable photo of Beckham (assuming it is a true photo). This position is not used in Pilates or even a yoga - it is the sort of move you might see a contortionist pull!
