Book Description
A unique and detailed description of more than 100 original Joseph Pilates Reformer Exercises including many large photos. Have you ever wondered why the Reformer is one of the most popular, if not THE most popular Pilates apparatus? Wished you had a well-structured overview of almost all exercises? Wanted to add more variations to your Reformer repertoire? Then this two-piece book is exactly for you! While both parts are designed as training manuals for Pilates instructors and fans, "The Pilates Reformer - Part 1" focuses on Joseph Pilates' nearly 100 traditional Reformer exercises. "The Reformer - Part 2 " then adds the modern exercise supplements as well as the exercises with the jumpboard. (Part 2 is so far available in German. An updated English version will be available in the second half of 2021) Here is what you will find in Part 1 in more detail: Following an introduction to the history of the Reformer, the various components of the Reformer are described, alongside a number of important issues to keep in mind when using a Reformer. Furthermore, the manual provides a recommended exercise sequence for each of the four different levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Super Advanced. In the main section of the book, large-format, color images are used to illustrate each of the 100+ exercises. For each exercise, the exact setup, the related goals, and a step-by-step description of its execution are presented. In addition, common mistakes, possible modifications or variations, and contraindications and risks are outlined. As a special feature, the original names used by Joseph Pilates are mentioned alongside the frequently-used names for the first time in Pilates literature. These Reformer exercises represent Joseph Pilates' legacy for a full-body workout.

Book Description
Well known presenter, teacher and top selling Pilates author Anthony Lett has cherry picked stretches from the disciplines of physical therapy, Osteopathy, Yoga, Pilates, martial arts and dance and trialled them over a 20-year period in his studio. Anthony has culled the fluff and leaves you with the safest and most effective material that works. 'No fillers, all thrillers' is the result! As well as presenting in 25 countries to health professionals on the subject of stretching, Anthony has worked with some of the world's best Karate champions, in Moscow with dancers from the Russian Bolshoi ballet, on thousands of wounded weekend warriors and even sheep shearers from outback Western Australia. All have benefitted from a body of work that is person oriented, not pose oriented. It's truly a work for "every body." He explains simply and with clarity how to use a "PNF" technique which fastbacks your flexibility gains and provides loads of stunning full color 3D anatomy images to assist you to understand the practice. The work has a focus on single joints and smaller groups of muscles so that there's no guessing about doing it right or feeling it in the right place. It's not stretching for dummies, but it's stretching that's hard to get wrong. There are simple and logical cues and images and a host of solo and partner stretches for each muscle group to explore, because although one stretch may be effective for one person, for various reasons like individual bone shape, it might not work for someone else. This realistic and pragmatic approach, honed by many years of experimentation on real bodies, ensures that in this book at least, you will find a collection of stretches just right for you!

Book Description
"Pre-Pilates and Beyond" will broaden your understanding of Pilates as a complete Method. From wiggling the tip of your nose, to cartwheeling across the room, this book has something for everyone. Since the exercises in "Pre-Pilates and Beyond" are the lesser-known exercises of the Pilates Method, each exercise is accompanied with photos and a detailed description. "Pre-Pilates and Beyond" includes: Pre-Pilates Exercises: Movements that target every body part, from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head. They are performed lying down on a mat, sitting in a chair, or standing, and can be done using everyday household items such as a pencil, rubber band, hair elastic, tennis ball, rolling pin, footstool, book, marble, and a towel. Wake-Up Exercises: Invigorating exercises performed with a bath towel. They can be done after a morning shower. Basic Matwork with a Towel: The basic mat routine done with a small towel to deepen stretches and provide additional support. Joe's Archival Routine: Exercises inspired by the gymnastic-based strength training movement called Physical Culture. Romana's Standing Exercises: Creative dance-inspired exercises that use a play-based approach to movement. With the help of your certified Pilates teacher, you can choose the exercises that best suit your needs. Use this book together with "Pilates: An Interactive Workbook" to create a well-rounded home-based routine that will improve your sense of autonomy and inspire you to assemble creative workouts tailored to your individual needs.
