کتاب پیلاتس؛ فیتنس عملکردی برای بعد از 40 سالگی

Pilates is almost miraculous in the benefits it has to offer. The small, controlled movements with their focus on core stability, co-ordination and functionality make it safe and therefore the obvious choice of exercise as we get older. As we age our bodies change and it’s important that our choice of exercise changes to reflect this. Of course we still want to look good, but our health and wellbeing become ever more important. The type of exercise we choose needs to be nurturing rather than punishing and most of us are looking for a more holistic approach to take care of our mind as well as our body. Pilates will leave you feeling energised rather than exhausted and not only will it tone and strengthen your body, you will also improve your levels of flexibility, mobility and core stability. This book offers a highly accessible programme of the most functional Pilates Mat exercises that will enable you to carry out your daily activities with ease now and for years to come. The sequence is long enough to be effective, but short enough to fit into even the busiest of days. You will notice an improvement in your posture almost immediately which will not only lead to better health, but can eliminate chronic back pain. Even if you are a complete beginner, this programme is safe and effective and the progressions to advanced options make it the ideal choice of the exercise plan for everyone.
