The Pilates method of exercise has been a well-kept secret until recently when those
outside the dancing and acting profession,
having experienced the benefits, have taken it upon themselves to share their findings
with those wanting to learn. Within the
fitness industry, Pilates is now one of the most sought-after fitness programmes of
the 21st century.
It is not aquick fix method for toning up the body, nor is it a fad. The disipline of this
method is akin to the disipline of
T'ai Chi Chuan, Chi Qong and Yoga.. The focus on the breath and the centre of the
body is also profoundly similar to the
Eastern philosophies relating to health and well-being.
The exercises in this book include modification, benefits and watch points for
your attention.
