Pilates benefits every body - including yours!
Pilates is exercise for your mind, body, and spirit, but what if your body won't cooperate? How can you take advantage of all Pilates has to offer–strengthening your core, enhancing your flexibility, and even improving your posture–if you think you're too old or too big or too physically unable to perform the Hundred, the Shoulder Bridge, or the Double-Leg Stretch?
No matter what your age, size, or physical ability is, you can do every exercise in Pilates for Everyone. Each Pilates exercise shows the typical movements for gaining the physical and mental benefits from that exercise. Then each exercise offers at least three variations performed by people just like you to help you find the right modification that fits who you are. This way, no matter which version you perform, you're going to reach similar goals.
Classical Pilates focuses on preserving the original teachings of Joseph and Clara Pilates and the equipment used to practice Pilates, featuring the exact specifications as those built by Joseph Pilates. Classical Pilates is taught within the order of exercises Joseph created for the reformer and the mat. Exercises in this book use Classical Pilates as their foundation.
Contemporary Pilates integrates various traditional Pilates exercises with other forms of exercise, like yoga, fitness training, and physiotherapy. It might also include props, such as resistance bands, foam rollers, and stability balls. Contemporary Pilates includes additional exercises as well as modifications to the original Pilates exercises. Exercises in this book are most closely related to Contemporary Pilates while still maintaining core elements from Classical Pilates.
Pilates for Everyone includes these features:
• 50 step-by-step exercises for specific body areas
• Step-by-step modifications for every exercise
• 10 routines that combine exercises from the book for maximum benefits
• Expert advice from Micki Havard on how to get the most out of your practice
