Boasting more than 10 million American practitioners, Pilates has become a popular path to strength and flexibility. Now outdoor athletes can harness the core strengthening and cross training benefits of Pilates. Combining her love of Pilates, rock climbing, and snowboarding, Lauri Stricker has penned a user-friendly guide to boost outdoor performance and prevent injury. This informative guide includes images of key poses, tips, and training techniques from beginner to expert. While not part of Fulcrum's Little Kick in the Butt Series, Pilates for the Outdoor Athlete is an excellent companion title to the series.

This review is from: Pilates for the Outdoor Athlete (Paperback)
The quality of the physical construction of the book is excellent. The author also takes great pains to produce a sequence of photographs demonstrating the exercise. It would be nice to have a DVD set moving through various 25 min workout sessions for the the various disciplines. Pilates is highly recommended for multisport athletes.
