Gives foundation on contrology and JP's story.

This is the cardinal text of Joseph Pilates innovative work, written in Joseph Pilates' words. Most of the introductory text is an exposition on the importance of employing his techniques (contrology) to create a healthier and stronger body. The rest of the book is documented with black and white photographs depicting all of the Pilates movements as modeled by Joseph Pilates. It's a very short read and may help new students approaching their own studies of Pilates, although it doesn't provide an in-depth explanation of all of the muscle groups being used.

Good for the beginner! All movements are simple and easy. You can get ideas how Pilates began with.

Very very minimalist book and short.Do not buy this.The seller yet is 100% o.k.

El libro me ha encantado, no entiendo por qué no es lectura obligatoria en las escuelas, maestros y niños se verían beneficiados en la aplicación de este sistema. Además los adultos bien pueden seguir las indicaciones.De fácil lectura, y de uso práctico.Lo recomendaré ampliamente.

Paper quality of this book is unacceptable. From my point of view, maximum price for such book is 3 euro.

No issue with the order
