(More customer reviews)Modern Pilates is the first book on any alternative form of exercise (Yoga, Pilates, Feldencrais and Alexander technique) that i have been able to not only understand but relate to my own body. It explains about posture, body types and metabolism and how the muscles work to hold and move the body. These explinations are detailed enough to assist me in making sence of my body but simple enough to apply to my daily routine (or occational lack thereof). Latey has modified the original techniques of Joseph pilates to suite anybody, not just the elite sports person. After trying Yoga and stretch classes at my gym and reading up on Alexander and Feldencrais technique and finally this book on pilates i have decided that now is the time for me to commit myself to the care of my body. Even through just reading Latey's book i have been better able to understand the neck and shoulder pain i get in the mornings and the soreness in my leg i get after running at the gym. I have been using some of her exercises over the last two weeks and suprisingly enough my morning pains have lessened. My next plan is to find time to go to a class which will be more of a challenge than finally finding the exercise for me.
So not meaning to be a cliche but if you have been confused and run around in circles by other techniques and books on pilates then have a read of this one it has changed my understanding of how my body works (and some times doesn't) and even how i see mysdelf in the mirror.
