Using the techniques and fundamentals of Pilates and applying it to athletic training.

Professional athletes around the world in every sport have used Pilates to gain explosive strength, increase their range of motion and build stamina and energy. Now, everyday athletes can take advantage of decades of development to reach their highest physical and mental levels and dramatically improve their conditioning, control, endurance and more. Pilates for Athletes seeks to take the principles and benefits of Pilates and apply them to whichever sports and activities you love to do—running, soccer, football, basketball, golf, tennis, hockey, swimming, cycling, baseball, gymnastics, dance, boxing, rugby, and more. Look for Pilates for Athletes to give a complete mind and body workout to make you the best athlete you can be.

And now you hold in your hands your personal on-the-go Pilates training manual—one which contains all the original exercises from Joseph Pilates, along with modifications and add-ons to fit your personal fitness level. If that's not enough (and it's plenty), this book also is packed with warm-up exercises, Pilates reformer exercises (a machine which consists of a sliding carriage with springs, bars and straps) translated for the mat, a Power Pilates section to up your training with challenging variations, and even some Power Yoga (another movement passion of mine). All this, as well as cool down stretches for deep release and a massive amount of Pilates workouts to get you moving and reaping the immediate benefits of Pilates.
