The Ultimate How-To Book of Pilates Mat Exercises: Video, Photo & Text Lessons for Over 50 Exercises
The most comprehensive guide available today for the original Pilates mat exercises plus variations totaling over 50 exercises. No need for equipment or a gym - join the latest fitness trend using your own body for resistance. Used by elite athletes and physical therapists, the Pilates method is nearly 100 years old and is now the most popular exercise method worldwide. This is the complete mat program in video, photo, and text, featuring simple step-by-step lessons. Plus, readers are encouraged to contact the instructor anytime and he will respond right away as an online personal Pilates trainer.
The mat exercise program is unique for several reasons: it delivers more benefits than any other exercise method, it does not require equipment or a gym, and it combines all the essential exercises that the body needs – stretching, strength training, and cardio – into one quick 30-minute workout.
This book also features the instructor's breakthrough teaching method which for the first time makes Pilates quick, easy, and inexpensive to learn. Bob Hannum is an advanced certified Pilates mat instructor for nearly 4 decades. "Many years in the making and a dream come true, this book took all my years of learning and teaching to realize - I don't think the level of quality has ever been matched by any previous workout book or video."
Specially designed for all ages and fitness levels, Bob safely guides you through beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels plus a bonus Cardio Pilates workout video to exercise at the highest level, applying everything learned for an intense and complete 30-minute program – there is nothing like it on the web!
As an added bonus Bob includes his Complete Pilates Mat Guide which he uses as a quick reference during his own workouts.
Pilates mat exercise is considered one of the best ways to relieve most joint and back pain because of the slow fluid movement and a technique known as 'imprinting' which eliminates back strain during exercise. Pilates exercises are used by physical therapists for back rehabilitation so you know it works!
Included in this volume is complete information about Pilates including history (with new facts recently revealed by a 'Pilates Elder'), benefits, principles, the differences and similarities between Pilates and yoga, and a special breathing method. Plus tips for success, all about the three different kinds of exercise the body needs, the critical importance of cardio, why dynamic stretching is superior, all about the special kind of strength training found in Pilates, and a discussion of target heart rate including why it's so important and the easiest way to finding it. There is a biography of the author's extensive Pilates training and teaching experience, plus a discussion of the author's unique teaching method. There is also an informative article about why Pilates is uniquely effective for the relief of joint and back pain. Sources for the best thick exercise mats are reviewed.
