This book adapts Pilates for later life. Alan Herdman teaches you exercises to counteract the typical problems of ageing, making your muscles more toned, your joints looser, and your body more supple. Your posture will improve as you strengthen the body's core muscles. Even if you haven't exercised for years, you'll find Pilates the ideal way to regain muscle tone and fitness. You will also learn how to treat your own aches and pains. For instance, if you wake up in the morning with lower back pain, you will be shown how to ease it out; if you suffer from arthritic hands, or osteoporosis, or painful feet, there is advice on exercises that can help to increase your range of movement. All beginners see and feel a difference within the first few weeks. Pilates is a great rejuvenator. Isn't it time you started turning back the clock?
