Description
Pilates is the exercise phenomenon of recent years. Devised over 70 years ago, it comprises a series of low-impact, muscle-strengthening movements that result in toned limbs, better posture and increased back strength. This book outlines an exercise programme based on the original Pilates method. Because of its emphasis on breathing, gentle stretching and precise technique, Pilates is an ideal exercise programme for the expectant mother. The movements can be carried out without any danger of strain or injury and, performed correctly, the exercises will train and strengthen the body's core muscles, easing the effects of labour and aiding swift recovery after pregnancy. The authors have devised a Pilates programme that specifically addresses the needs of the pregant woman, presenting three versions of the original Pilates movements, adapted according to the three trimesters of preganancy. Additionally, advice on exercise post-labour will aid the new mother in regaining pre-pregnancy levels of fitness. The expert tuition is illustrated with step-by-step sequences, allowing the reader to follow a programme at home, or to better understand routines taught in a class.
