In The Pilates Body author Brooke Siler - owner of one of New York's top studios for Pilates and personal trainer to supermodels, actors and actresses - provides a complete, easy-to-follow programme of Pilates exercises to give you a whole new body in thirty sessions. Originally developed by Joseph H. Pilates, and endorsed by physicians for almost a century, Pilates is the ultimate mind-body exercise for those who want to tone, streamline and realign their bodies, without the bulked-up results of more conventional workout methods. Brooke Siler guides you through a complete circuit of mat-based exercises, each clearly illustrated with photographs, line drawings and unique visualisation exercises. With this guide you can streamline your figure, create longer, leaner muscles, improve posture, flexibility and balance, enhance your emotional well being, build self-esteem and confidence, and reduce stress and fatigue.
