Pilates was developed to build on your body's core strength in the back,
abdominal and pelvic muscles using low impact exercises. There are no
age limits and it doesn't matter what your level of fitness is. Pilates
can help everyone improve their physical health and fitness as well as
reduce stress levels. It can also be used to alleviate pain from
previous injuries and prevent new ones by strengthening those core
muscles.
Written by a qualified Pilates instructor, this book aims to guide
people through the learning process with simple instructions, diagrams
and information on the basic principles behind the movements and
techniques. All the information you need for a safe and effective
workout is found in this book; not only is it a fantastic start for
beginners, it is also a great companion to those who are already
practising Pilates.
The book will explain how Pilates originated, the basic principles, the
fundamentals of Pilates, the different exercises and positions and how
to move through stages one, two and three of each workout.
