Detailed item info | Synopsis | In this fitness plan, Los Angeles celebrity trainer Mari Winsor introduces readers to the Pilates method, an exercise program that was originally developed by Joseph H. Pilates during the 1920s. These exercises focus on the abdominal muscles, and are designed to maximize abdomen and back strength while conditioning the rest of the body. Each exercise is illustrated with step-by-step photographs. In addition to helping bodies become lean and strong, this program may improve posture, circulation and flexibility.

| | Publisher's Note | An exercise routine embraced by professional dancers for over fifty years, Pilates is now the hottest and most talked about fitness trend since the running shoe. The perfect blend of Yoga and Nautilus, Pilates concentrates on building strength and flexibility, improving coordination, balance, and posture, and increasing stamina. All Pilates movements are initiated by muscles in the abdominal area (known as the powerhouse) and are designed to work the smaller muscles that support larger ones, while stretching and lengthening the entire muscular package. A low impact yet highly intense workout, Pilates is ideal for everyone, young or old, those who are extremely fit or out of shape, as well as those who have chronic pain, injuries, or asthma.
