If we don't 'go for the burn' any more, where do we start? Written by Lynn Robinson and personal trainer, martial arts expert and Pilates teacher Gerry Convy, this full-colour handbook shows how to use your body correctly, to recruit your muscles for maximum toning, with balanced workouts that will re-educate your body's alignment for a dramatic impact on your physique.The benefits of Pilates, the fitness method that has taken the world by storm, are well documented - from remedying back and joint pain, lengthening and strengthening the body (making you taller and slimmer!), to improving your sex life! Whether you focus on low-impact aerobics, cardiovascular work (treadmill, stairclimber, rowing machine, bike), machine based or free weights, you'll find that subtle Pilates-based alterations to your technique and programme provide profound and lasting results, for side-effect-free superb health for years to come.
