Busy Body Fitness Manual by Pamela Carsaniga
In this often challenging, occasionally satisfying, sometimes exciting and frustrating life, it is essential to minimise stress and stay fit. But for most busy people, and for those always on the move, it is often impossible to find time for a workout in a day's schedule. The Busy Body Fitness Manual is a guide to getting fit in fifteen minutes a day by doing a range of exercises that are based on safe movement practices. The easy-to-follow instructions are accompanied by illustrations that have a precise simplicity to enhance understanding and memory of the movements, which can be done anywhere, at any time. The combination of movement, stretch and relaxation exercises reduces tension and stress immediately, and within a few weeks builds up fitness levels, strength and flexibility. Based on a combination of dance, aerobics and the time-honoured techniques of Laban and Alexander, this programme is perfect for people of either sex and of any age. Pamela Carsaniga has lifelong experience in classical and contemporary dance, formerly as a performaner and in more recent years as a teacher and writer. With a Foreword by Greta Scacchi.
PAMELA CARSANIGA trained as a classical dancer but grew too tall for ballet and joined the celebrated Bluebell Girls in 1951. At the same time she studied ballet, Spanish dance, contemporary American and primitive dance. In London she gained a teaching diploma in Modern Educational Dance at the Leeder School in 1965, and went on to further training at the London School of Contemporary Dance to become a Licentiate of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and a member of the Royal Academy. In 1977 friends suggested she give classes to keep them in shape and she developed a programme based on safe movement practice on which The Busy Body Fitness Manual is now based. Living in Australia since 1982, she has published on Renaissance dance and is a freelance writer on dance.
