Many fitness enthusiasts have found that working out in gyms have made their bodies less streamlined and elegant - the muscle they have built leads to a squarer, stockier look. Pilates is different. This description may be from another edition of this product.
My wife bought this book in order to learn Pilates techniques and to add a low impact element to her workout. She found this book very useful, especially the many photographs that illustrate exactly how to position oneself. Easy to read and well diagrammed with many pictures this is a great place to start for anyone new to Pilates exercises.

As a former client with Lesley Ackland I will tell you her books are accurate to the body conditioning program that Joseph Pilates brought to us. Lesley, has the gift of teaching correct Pilates excerises to anyone from the prima ballerina to the retired grandfather. No matter how old you are you can benefit from the pilates technique in just 15 minutes a day. First you have to learn from Lesley's Pilates books that this body program is the coming together of the mind, body and spirit through visualization, breathe and your core(abs)! Understanding where pilates comes from is easy to learn after reading 15 Minute Pilates. Enjoy! I still do after having Lesley as my first pilates trainer.
