If we don't 'go for the bum' anymore, where do we start? This is the full colour handbook to using 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 is taking 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 program provide profound and lasting results, for side-effect-free superb health for years to come.
