Pilates for Everyone: 50 Exercises for Every Type of Body

 

Pilates benefits every body–including yours!

Pilates is exercise for your mind, body, and spirit, but what if your body won’t cooperate? How can you take advantage of all Pilates has to offer–strengthening your core, enhancing your flexibility, and even improving your posture–if you think you’re too old or too big or too physically unable to perform the Hundred, the Shoulder Bridge, or the Double-Leg Stretch?

No matter what your age, size, or physical ability is, you can do every exercise in Pilates for Everyone. Each Pilates exercise shows the typical movements for gaining the physical and mental benefits from that exercise. Then each exercise offers at least three variations performed by people just like you to help you find the right modification that fits who you are. This way, no matter which version you perform, you’re going to reach similar goals.

Pilates for Everyone includes these features:
• 50 step-by-step exercises for specific body areas
• Step-by-step modifications for every exercise
• 10 routines that combine exercises from the book for maximum benefits
• Expert advice from Micki Havard on how to get the most out of your practice

    I love this Pilates instructor's, thoughtful, diverse, and interesting look at the discipline. It is different from my prior instruction sets but I loved the Pinterest exercises and decided to try it. The book exercises provide various levels of intensity, it is easy to mix and match, and the instructions are easy to understand. The only improvement would be to include one thing: I like when I am told when to breath to maximize the benefits of Pilates. Without the breathing instructions, the book remains EXCELLENT. How that is true...She actually knows what she is doing with the variety provided. This is a great gift for yourself or others.

    I absolutely love the book. It is very well organized and there is literally a modification for everyone. The pictures are great and the models are very diverse. One of the models is even an amputee. The exercises are organized in such a way as to group them in “floor”, “chair”, or “standing” categories. I have never thought of doing Pilates standing or in a chair. Now I do it in my office too! The only thing I would change would be to make an option for spiral binding so that the book could be laid flat. I think every exercise book should have an option for spiral binding.

    Pilates for Everyone is a breath of fresh air! It takes the mystery out of Pilates, which has been perceived as an elite form of exercise, and makes it accessible to everyone, no matter your body type or fitness level. With warmth and clarity, Micki meets you where you providing insightful, understandable, and actionable stretches and exercises that anyone can do from home. I was especially surprised by how the slow, intentional movements worked muscles that I didn't even know I had! Great for building core strength, stamina, and flexibility. I highly recommend Pilates for Everyone!

    The title sums it up best - Pilates is indeed for everyone. Whether you are an instructor, beginner or master Pilates practitioner, this book is a must read. Often times we find certain movement intimidating and unapproachable. Micki has managed to break each exercise down, offer variations and more importantly, make Pilates accessible to all. Bravo!!

    I love the "can do" attitude of this book. I've always found Pilates interesting but some of the moves can be quite intimidating. Micki breaks signature Pilates moves down so they are attainable for any level, any setting, and any body type. The book is wonderfully organized and the pictures are vibrant and beautiful. It's a great addition to your fitness library.

    Just the manifestation of our body… it’s our intention, how we listen to ourselves. So pick a body part and preferred posture because no matter who you are you will find a workout to get stretched and strong, balanced and feeling better. It may be to explore one exercise a day or total body routine. Her care for the Other and connect to all potential students is an inspiration. I am delighted to find a Pilates workout that is truly for Every Body.

Pilates For Eveyone is a great and useful book. I like it that the exercises shown in pictures, well explained and they all have adaptations, modifications and progressions which make them suitable for different types of pilates participants. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves pilates. Thanks very much!

    I’ve been an avid gym goer for the past 13 years. Pilates for Everyone gave me just what I needed to change up my workout routine. The book is well-written. The exercises are simple, yet effective. It was awesome to see so many different body types, young and old, male and female benefitting from this type of physical fitness. I highly recommend this book to newcomers as well as seasoned professionals.

I have practiced pilates for years but this book insures you have a solid foundation along with different variations. I was pleasantly surprised to see people of different sizes and abilities.

    As a Pilates studio owner, and teacher for 20 years, I am delighted to see a book like this FINALLY available. Pilates really is for everyone & Micki Havard has beautifully and accurately demonstrated this in her book. It is inclusive and instructional in a way that most Pilates books fall short; quite simply it is what we need to see more of in the fitness world. This will be required reading for my teachers-in-training and I will share it & recommend it frequently.

    There are many things I love about this book. The modifications are great and truly makes pilates accessible for everyone, especially people who have a hard time getting down on the floor. But, as an instructor what I love the most are the photos and models of REAL people. It's about time we saw real people of all shapes and abilities represented in fitness! Well done!

    Love this! I’m a big Pilates enthusiast and agree that it is most often portrayed as something for only a select few. This book clearly demonstrates all sorts of people doing Pilates, full out and with modifications. Definitely a great guide and hopefully can show how Pilates is beneficial no matter who you are.
