Description
The Pilates method is a system of physical exercises developed at the beginning of the 20th century by Joseph Pilates, a man who was passionate about sports and the human body. Practiced on a mat, sometimes with accessories or with the help of equipment, it aims to develop deep muscles, improve posture, balance muscles and make joints more flexible. This manual revisits the Pilates exercises with the addition of equipment to bring more variety and challenge to the sessions. It is an essential tool for renewing training and adapting it to the level of the participants (with pathologies, beginners, intermediates, experts). It is a real pedagogical tool illustrated by numerous photos. With its method, movements, instructions for placement and execution, reminders of vigilance, and possibilities for variations, this guide will allow the beginner as well as the experienced athlete to flourish in his or her Pilates practice.
