For more info, see www.TarbellPilates.com Why choose Pilates for Athletes? Are you continually striving to improve your athletic performance? Do you buy the latest technology and the best gear, or spend hours pushing your body to the limits, yet can't find that spark to push you to a new level? Do you love to challenge yourself, but find most workout videos too slow and unmotivating? If you've ever thought of incorporating Pilates into your workout regimen, then Pilates for Athletes is for you! While training with a broad range of athletes, from 5K road racers to Ironman triathletes, internationally recognized and veteran Pilates Instructor Laura Tarbell designed this fitness regimen in order to challenge the mind and body of the intermediate to elite athlete. Pilates for Athletes taps into the athlete's deepest potential, working in combination with your training, so that you progress to higher levels of physical fitness than you ever imagined. You will achieve a more cohesive and overall level of fitness, and thus, advance your ability in your sport. The workout series takes you through a unique combination of exercises that will strengthen, stretch, and challenge the stamina and coordination of your body. Each video begins with an 8-minute sequence of abdominal-focused exercises to challenge even the strongest core, and then moves into specific areas of concentration. Because the body adapts to the same workout after only 6-8 weeks, doing the same routine isn't sufficient to consistantly challenge and transform the body. Therefore, for optimal and lasting effect, perform each of the following 3 videos once a week: ARMS AND OBLIQUES, LEGS AND BACK, and STAMINA AND COORDINATION. This series will specifically help you: *Build a foundation of core strength *Learn how to develop the mind-muscle connection *Increase joint mobility and range of motion *Heighten concentration and focus *Stretch and strengthen muscles simultaneously *Learn to breathe laterally to make the body more efficient *Correct muscle imbalance *Become aware of the body's optimal posture *Build muscle to support proper spine placement *Reduce the risk of injury and back pain *Build strength with low-impact training *Relieve stress and tension Copyright 2008 Tarbell Pilates Inc.
