Centre Yourself with this Step-by-Step Approach to Joseph Pilates' Original Matwork Program.
An encyclopaedic and authoritative return to Pilates' classical matwork programme.
Following the comprehensive style of 2000's bestselling 'Official Body Control Pilates Manual', this dynamic programme for the intermediate and advanced Pilates devotee heralds a return to Joseph Pilates' classical matwork (which was originally devised for fitter-than-average people, e.g. dancers and athletes).
The 34 exercises are physically demanding but presented as ever in layman's language, with watchpoints, warnings and detailed advice on the timing of the breath, so crucial to the core stability that Pilates is famed for building. Preparation exercises ensure that you are ready to tackle the full action.
There are also exercises involving easily available equipment such as gym balls (excellent tools for tracking your alignment), and toning circles (great for resistance work). The exercises culminate in fluent workout programmes to maintain and challenge your level of fitness.
