with the foundation for all the exercises by presenting an in-depth

instruction on breathing to help you perform the movements
correctly. After the mat work, Pilates goes on to apply the same
depth of instruction and photos to the full range of Pilates

exercises, categorized by body region. The exercises include
difficulty ratings, recommended resistance ranges, and explanations
of not only how to perform the movements but also how practitioners
will benefit from them. New variations, modifications, and
progressions for many of those exercises offer additional options
for tailoring the exercises based on ability, skill, or preference.
The book includes a purposeful grouping of exercises into programs
that work all regions of the body and progress from the fundamental
level through the intermediate and advanced levels to challenge you
at all stages of Pilates practice. Pilates is a holistic approach
to well-being that offers a bridge between mind and body, between
everyday life and optimal performance, and between rehabilitation
and healthy movement. When used to its full potential, it can
enhance every aspect of life. So whether you are young or old, are
able-bodied or live with restricted mobility, Pilates can improve
your balance, concentration, coordination, posture, muscle tone,
core strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. CE exam
