Developed by Joseph Pilates almost 80 years ago, Pilates combines elements of yoga and bodywork. It is important that users follow the vital elements of Pilates in every workout and Pilates Personal Trainer Getting Started with Stretching dedicates the first half of the book to teaching those elements, including concentration, breathing, control and centering. However, the second half of the book is the focus. Here readers are presented with a series of carefully selected matwork exercised that target the back. Each movement is explained with unmatched clarity using detailed descriptions of the exercise and nearly 100 step-by-step photographs.
