Book Synopsis The Pilates Cadillac - Part II by : Reiner Grootenhuis
Download or read book The Pilates Cadillac - Part II written by Reiner Grootenhuis and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On over 300 pages, 115 exercises with the Leg Spring, Airplane Board, Arm Spring, Baby/Arm Chair Spring, Fuzzies and Cadillac Frame. 890 large photos to demonstrate each exercise exactly. The Cadillac or Wall Unit is one of the most important training devices in Pilates along with the Reformer and the mat. It is probably the device with the greatest variety of exercises and also offers the possibility of a very fine adjustment of the degree of difficulty. It is therefore not surprising that the Cadillac is used particularly often in Pilates private training. Almost all of the Cadillac's exercises can also be carried out on the "half Cadillac", the Tower or Wall Unit. Tower group courses are becoming increasingly popular. The two Cadillac training manuals give a complete overview of the repertoire of exercise possibilities. In this part 2 the 35 Leg Springs exercises, the 3 Airplane Board exercises, the 31 Arm Springs exercises, the 24 Baby/Arm Chair Springs exercises, the 22 exercises with the Fuzzies, Trapeze Bar and the Cadillac Frame are described. All of the exercises in the Cadillac Manual are illustrated with large, professionally photographed images in several easy steps and are described in detail with regard to correct setup, exercise goals, exact execution, frequent mistakes, modifications or variations and possible contraindications/risks. This means that the manual can be used again and again as a reference book, both for initial learning and for deepening and in daily use, and is therefore aimed at Pilates trainers and individuals who would like to learn more about the world of Pilates exercises on the Cadillac and expand their repertoire on the Wall Unit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "First Educate the Child!" In his book, YOUR HEALTH, Joe Pilates made it very clear that he wanted children to learn his system of body-mind-spirit development.

PILATES FOR CHILDREN is an unprecedented Pilates book, featuring safety modifications, age appropriate verbal prompts, child friendly imagery, and useful tips for teaching Pilates to elementary school age children on both the Mat and the Pilates equipment. Additionally, teachers will discover that the information provided here can be applied to students far beyond the 6-11 age range. In addition to her detailed descriptions of the exercises, author Christina Maria Gadar personalizes the material with some of the delightful conversations and interactions that have taken place while teaching her young students. And she presents many of the insightful sayings passed on to her from her mentor Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates' protege. PILATES FOR CHILDREN is a must for any certified Pilates teacher interested in expanding his or her teaching skills. With artwork created by a child artist and Pilates photography featuring children demonstrating all the exercises, PILATES FOR CHILDREN is more than a comprehensive text. It is a beautiful and inspiring look at what children are capable of doing when given the opportunity to rise to the occasion.
