Denise Austin: Pilates For Every Body

Strengthen, lengthen and tone your body with this unique fitness plan for use at home - suitable for any age or fitness level.

Pilates is today's hottest exercise method, but would-be exponents are finding that formal programmes involve complicated routines using equipment available only in gyms. 'Pilates For Every Body' makes this body conditioning technique available to anyone, regardless of fitness level, offering full-body workouts that require only a mat, a chair and towel or blanket.

For each move, Austin offers visualisations and other tips to achieve the correct posture for each pose. She also includes mini-routines to help readers get into condition fast and target specific problem areas as well as special tips for beginners or out-of-shape individuals and those with back problems or stiff and painful joints.
