Body Control: Using
Techniques Developed by Joseph H. Pilates
by Lynne Robinson, Joseph Pilates, Gordon
Thomson
If you've
ever wondered how ballet dancers get that
graceful, calm-looking, perfectly postured
stance, one of the reasons is a series of
exercises named for the late trainer Joseph H.
Pilates. Long a staple of dance studios, his
techniques are becoming a staple in gyms as well.
Body Control provides an excellent introduction
to the Pilates method and easy-to-follow
instructions for doing them at home, without the
need for special machinery that instructors often
use. The book describes 40 different exercises
and explains how to relax and breathe correctly
while doing them. Even more important, it
explains what you may be doing wrong (since some
of the exercises could worsen a painful condition
if done incorrectly). The very clear
illustrations, which mix photographs with line
drawings, will allow most people to get the hang
of it right away. Because it works muscles you
may not ordinarily use that much, these exercises
take more effort than you might think. And while
they don't promise huge muscles, adherents say
the method helps them stand up straighter and
move more easily, without pain. Nothing can turn
an ordinary person into a ballet star, but these
exercises could make you almost as graceful as
one.
