Pilates Body Power by Lesley Ackland

Pilates Body Power by Lesley Ackland

Body Power is an exercise system based on the Pilates method, traditionally used by ballet dancers and models, that is designed to make your body longer, leaner and stronger. The soft exercises combine low-impact but high-energy movements with realignment of posture to build your flexibility, stamina and strength. Designed to work for all ages and at all levels of fitness, the short Pilates exercises will soon leave you energized and exuding total confidence and grace. Lesley Ackland has designed a Pilates session to fit every part of your day and to tone every part of your body. With exercises from the Morning Maintenance for Bad Backs to the Pre-date Tummy Tightener, in just 15 minutes a day you too can have the lithe and beautiful body of a dancer.

'The results: smoother, firmer, thinner anythingWhatever part of your body you want to work on, it can change its shape.' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'Do you dream of having a slim, lithe body like a dancer? It's time you learned their fitness secret.' MARIE CLAIRE, Health and Beauty 'Rediscover streamlined thighs and firm arms, banish saggy buttocks and flabby bellies . . . ' THE DAILY MAIL 'The aim is not to over-develop already strong muscles, but to strengthen weaker ones - producing a long, lean body with a solid centre. Posture, breathing and concentration are vital - there's none of the sweaty grunt 'n' grind of the weight rooms' TIME OUT
