Explore the science behind over 50 pilates exercises to master each
movement with confidence and control. DK brings you a
ground-breaking health book that will help you revitalise your
workouts and perfect your Pilates practice, by understanding the
muscle action, breathwork and techniques required, every step of
the way. Did you know that performing Pilates can strengthen your
core, improve flexibility and posture, and help to reduce stress
and anxiety at the same time? Backed by scientific research, learn
how Pilates exercises benefit every system in the body. Science of
Pilates reveals the facts with annotated artworks that show the
mechanics, the angles, how your blood flow and respiration are
affected, the key muscle and joint actions working below the
surface of each exercise, safe alignment, and much more! Go on a
journey of self-discovery to explore: - Specially commissioned CGI
artworks depict all the main Pilates exercises with variations that
add or reduce challenge. - Artworks detail the mechanics of each
exercise, correct body posture, the muscles involved and how they
engage to perform movements. - Illustrations featuring
colour-coding to highlight how the muscles, ligaments, and joints
engage, stretch, and relax to perform each exercise. - Pilates
programmes tailored to different abilities and aims. - Suggested
practices with a progressive increase in challenge over weeks and
months. - Easy-to-follow infographics help explain the hard science
behind why Pilates training is so effective and what beneficial
physical adaptations it can bring. Set out to unearth the facts
behind the pseudo-science fads, The Science of Pilates is an
approachable, entertaining and easy-to read fitness guide for those
seeking self-development backed up by solid scientific evidence.
The popular question and answer format brings an immediacy to the
information provided, and the highly visually illustrations truly
bring the science to life in a contemporary and accessible way. At
DK, we believe in the power of discovery. So why stop there? If you
like Science of Pilates, then why not try Science of Yoga to help
you better understand yoga anatomy in order to perfect your
practice and poses, or Science of Strength Training to support you
in your journey to build you strongest body. Complete the
