Book Reviews of The Pilates Deck
Book Review: Great tool for flexible and personalized pilates work-outs
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I had a baby, I couldn't go to my pilates classes as often as I used to. I have been using this card deck. every week at home and this helped me get back in shape despite a busy schedule with the baby.
This card deck does a great teaching job": on each card 1 position well illustrated and well explained with detailed breathing patterns
Also it offers great advice to tailor the movements to your level of fitness or to your physical limitations; for each position, the author gives variations to increase or decrease the level of difficulty and "listen to your body" comments on how to modify the position if you have back pain for example. This was very useful to me as I had many discomforts after the delivery.
Finally this card deck is so easy to use: assemble the cards as you wish and you can create your own sequences of movements or follow the recommended ones to fit best your schedule or your energy level: each time I had a few minutes, I did squeeze in 15 to 30 min of exercises in between baby feedings and diaper changes!!!
