Pilates
by Patricia Lamond (9781585747382)

With an estimated five hundred Pilates studios in the Linked States alone, it is no exaggeration to say that Pilates has taken the exercise world by storm. This method aims to create balance within the body by working on different muscle groups for the purpose of general health, as well as the enhancement of athletic performance and improved posture. Geared for first-time exercisers who wish to do simple matwork for fitness, either at home or with a teacher, PILATES clearly explains the importance of the mind-body relationship, muscle functioning, and fitness for everyday activities, and uses photographs to demonstrate the key moves, and Illustrations to show what's happening underneath the skin. The book is an ideal complement to work undertaken with a teacher, as it enables the beginner to practice safely at home. Its detailed text and illustrations explain exactly how the exercises work, how they benefit you, and how to do them properly.
