Body Control: Using Techniques

BainBridgeBooks (PA), 1998

The only thing for my low back pain - and mind/body too!
A year and a half ago I started getting extremely painful muscle spasms in my low right back, although I was very into physical fitness in what I thought was a well rounded way - as in different aerobic workouts and flexibility work, on an almost daily basis and weights work 3xweekly. Chiropractic helped, but swimming did nothing - this workout did. The explanation of the navel to spine ...

Pan Books, 2002

Clarifies a lot of things!
This is my fourth Pilates book and I must say that this is the real fundamental resource for the Pilates method. One major difference that you'll find in this book is that it asks you to prepare and condition your body first before you execute the actual classic Pilates exercises. The book first discusses the ideal posture and proper body alignment that we are born with, its importance in our ...

Great low-impact strength & flexibility exercises
Clear description and illustration of all the exercises + a choice of straightforward programmes (2,3 or 7 sessions per week) It's not a conventional workout - it won't leave you panting & sweating but you'll sure know you've done it because you'll feel all those important muscles you probably haven't used for years & years (especially the ones that form the 'girdle' which protect & support your ...

best pregnancy book out there
I am a Pilates teacher who recently has three pregnant students. I reviewed many books from my library system and found this one of the absolute best value and advice.

Great Manual!

For example, it has a chart on pretty much every surface you might consider ...
