You can choose from more than 45 exercises that target specific parts of the body to strengthen, stretch and coordinate different muscle groups. You will see which key muscles are activated, how their work is influenced by all the different variations and modifications of the exercise, and how the movements and breathing are linked. This will help to increase muscle tone, stabilize the torso, improve balance and muscle flexibility. The description of each exercise now includes a special section that allows you to diversify your workouts and customize them to the reader's individual needs. Detailed instructions on breathing, concentration, and self-control are also provided to help maximize body-mind harmony. Whether you are new to Pilates or have been practicing it for years, this book will be a unique resource that you will turn to again and again. The authors pay tribute to the past work of Joseph Pilates, detailing the current situation and looking to the future. The advice and notes on exercise technique provide invaluable material for anyone practicing Pilates, regardless of experience. - Marika Molnar, director of the Westside Dance Physical Therapy Clinic in New York City and medical consultant for the PhysicalMind Institute.
