In just 15 minutes a day, with no equipment at all, the Ageless Pilates system retrains the body past pain and discomfort, regardless of age or current condition. Binnendyk has revolutionized the practice of Pilates with an easy-to-learn ABC system that creates youthful energy and mobility starting with the very first lesson. The ABCs - Anchor Points, Body Geometry and Comfort Choices - quickly become intuitive, allowing the system to carry from the exercise mat into everyday life. Anchor Points provide stability and safety for every position and movement. Body Geometry creates an efficient structure that works just the right amount to get results, but not so much that it causes undue wear and tear. Comfort Options offer the flexibility to fine tune every exercise based on how the body feels right in this moment. When combined, these concepts transform body mechanics and movement patterns creating a body that is strong and limber, comfortable and pain-free. Bodies of all ages respond with new comfortable posture, loose and easy movement patterns, and a renewed sense of energy. Each of the 23 Lessons features options that make the exercises accessible to all levels, increasing confidence, strength and flexibility. Master these in 15-minutes a day, then move on to the 18 Workouts for ongoing practice and continued improvement. Whether you're simply looking for a sleek, ageless body, or you're working with an ailment like low-back pain, arthritis, low bone density or diminished mobility, you'll find lessons and workouts designed specifically for you.

Download or read book Pilates written by Nord Alps and published by Nord Alps. This book was released on with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Pilates developed Pilates in the early 20th century as a form of exercise. It is a low-impact form of exercise that emphasizes the use of the abdominal muscles to support and control movement. The core muscles consist of the abdominal, low back, and hip muscles. Pilates emphasizes controlled, precise movements to work the deep stabilizing muscles of the body and improve flexibility, balance, and overall strength. The Pilates principles include: Pilates exercises are frequently performed with an emphasis on engaging the core muscles, also known as the "engine" of the body. Pilates movements are executed with a great deal of control, with an emphasis on technique and form. Pilates exercises are frequently executed in a fluid, flowing manner. Pilates emphasizes precise movements, frequently concentrating on a particular muscle group or joint. Pilates emphasizes the use of controlled breathing to support movement and deliver oxygen to the muscles. Pilates requires focus and concentration in order to execute the movements correctly and reap the full benefits of the exercise. Pilates exercises can be performed on a mat or with specialized apparatuses such as the reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda chair. Pilates is beneficial for individuals of all ages and fitness levels, and it can be modified to accommodate injuries and other physical limitations. It can be used to enhance general fitness, recover from injury, and treat specific health conditions such as back pain and scoliosis. Some people practice Pilates as a low-impact form of exercise, while others use it as a supplement to other physical activities, including sports, to improve and balance the body.
