Are you looking to lose weight or get in shape?

Consider adding Pilates to your weight-loss and exercise plan. Created by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, The Pilates Method is a low-impact form of exercise with an emphasis on precise, controlled movements designed to strengthen the powerhouse, the core muscles in the torso. In just a few sessions, you will notice an increase in core strength and an improvement in posture.

Pilates is an ideal form of exercise for travelers or anyone who does not want to invest in expensive equipment, gym memberships, or personal training. With no experience or training, you can begin practicing Pilates in your own home using only an inexpensive foam mat and instructional DVD.

There are several popular series of Pilates instructional DVDs, one of the most successful of which is the Winsor Pilates series. Mari Winsor developed her workout nearly 20 years ago. She currently owns and operates two studios in Los Angeles, and more than half of her clients are A-list celebrities, music icons, and professional athletes.

The Winsor Pilates (commonly misspelled Windsor Pilates) series of instructional DVDs includes many specialized titles to help you achieve your fitness and weight-loss goals.

The Pilates Powerhouse

By the trainer to the stars, an easy-to-follow guide to today's fastest growing exercise regimen-Pilates.

An exercise routine embraced by professional dancers for over fifty years, Pilates is now the hottest and most talked about fitness trend since the running shoe. The perfect blend of Yoga and Nautilus, Pilates concentrates on building strength and flexibility, improving coordination, balance, and posture, and increasing stamina. All Pilates movements are initiated by muscles in the abdominal area (known as the powerhouse) and are designed to work the smaller muscles that support larger ones, while stretching and lengthening the entire muscular package. A low-impact yet highly intense workout, Pilates is ideal for everyone, young or old, those who are extremely fit or out of shape, as well as those who have chronic pain, injuries, or asthma.

Illustrated with over 100 black-and-white photographs, The Pilates Powerhouse brings this time-efficient and highly effective means to get and stay in shape into the home, without the need for expensive classes and elaborate equipment. Using only a mat, a stick and, for advanced Pilates, a ball, readers will feel personally trained by Mari Winsor's innovative routines and spirited instruction, reaping the dramatic and lasting results of Pilates in less than an hour a day.

A wonderful conditioning exercise for women of all shapes and sizes, Pilates is now recognized as one of the best overall exercises for the pregnant body as well.

As important, Pilates strengthens the abdominal muscles known as the "powerhouse," making it easier for new mothers to recover from childbirth and regain their pre-pregnancy waistline.

Working with Dr. Uzzi Reiss, a prominent Los Angeles-based gynecologist and obstetrician, Mari Winsor has developed the first mat-based Pilates routine for pregnant women, bringing this time-efficient and highly effective means to get and stay in shape into the home. Illustrated with 100 black-and-white photographs, the exercises in The Pilates Pregnancy are gentle on the body and easy to do at any stage of pregnancy.
