"Contrology" is not the study of a Janet Jackson album, but rather the official name of what trendy workout regimen?

Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by a guy named Joseph Pilates. He called his method "contrology," based on the idea that you use controlled movements for maximum benefit. But over the time the method became more commonly known Pilates.
