Description
Headache, stiffness of the neck, backache - chronic pains belong to the main scourges of modern man. But there is a way out. All parts of the human body are trainable well into later life. Joseph Pilates knew this already a hundred years ago. He developed the Pilates-system, in which muscles that are neglected in everyday life as well as those used in sports are strengthened. They all have great importance for our well-being. This is also the reason why Pilates is an ideal supplementary sport. The Pilates system has more than 500 exercises that complement each other, from simple body awareness to highly specialized movements.The overall aim is to restore a perfect body balance, and the harmony of body, mind, and soul. Pilates - Improve Your Well-Being gives you insight into this effective system and presents many highly varied workouts for training at home.
