Riassunto

Foreword by Islay McEwan, Physiotherapist Birmingham Royal Ballet. Pilates has been a recent phenomenon with book sales to match its explosion in popularity. This book will capitalise on its growing popularity

Many fitness enthusiasts have found that working out in gyms have made their bodies less streamlined and elegant – the muscle they have built leads to a squarer, stockier look. Pilates is different.

Traditionally popular with ballet dancers and models, it gives you a long, lean physique, better posture and general health. It is soft exercise, combining low-impact but high energy movements with realignment of posture.

Lesley Ackland (who has more than 200 weekly clients at the famous Pineapple Studios in Covent Garden) has developed a ‘body maintenance’ programme which helps a wide range of problems including back pain, scoliosis, RSI, arthritis, pregnancy and stress problems.

All in a cleverly-devised 15 minute a day programme which you can tailor to suit your own needs.

Smart design with blue pantone.

'15 – MINUTE PILATES' Lesley Ackland
Just 15 minutes a day will make a world of difference to your looks and your health.

Pilates exercises give you a longer, leaner shape, better posture, a strong back and more mobility. Other exercise techniques can produce over-developed muscles which Pilates does not.

"Do you dream of having a slim, lithe body like a dancer? It's time you learned their fitness secret."
MARIE CLAIRE, 'Health and Beauty'

"Rediscover streamlined thighs and firm arms, banish saggy buttocks and flabby bellies..."
THE DAILY MAIL

"It's particularly beneficial for those suffering from complaints such as muscle injuries, RSI, arthritis and back and joint problems."
OPTIONS

"The exercise attacks the roots of bad posture by toning little-used muscle groups in the abdomen, torso and lower back."
RICHARD HOUSE, 'Journalist and client'

"The results: smoother, firmer, thinner anything. Whatever part of your body you want to work on, it can change its shape."
