40 quick-fix Pilates workouts to fit into your daily schedule

Suitable for all fitness levels, these 10-minute mini workouts are each designed for a different part of your day - morning, noon and evening.

Starting with The New Fundamentals, Lynne Robinson's programme features more than 100 illustrated step-by-step exercises, many of which are brand new to Pilates. As well as increasing your strength and flexibility, there are dedicated exercises to boost your immune system and improve the efficiency of your breathing. You'll also discover how Pilates can benefit both your mental and physical health, helping you to reset your lifestyle, cope with stress and restore balance in your body.

In this book, we hope to show you that enjoying good health and staying fit does not require hours in the gym. You can achieve this by moving more and, importantly, moving well, throughout your day. The Pilates Express® programme has around 40 mini workouts, each designed for a specific part of your day: morning, midday and evening. The exercises, many brand new to Pilates, will make a huge difference to how you look and how you feel. But, perhaps most important of all, they will help you to stay healthy. We aim to restore balance in your body, making it resilient, flexible and strong enough, physically, mentally and emotionally, to tackle whatever life has in store.

Probably the single biggest obstacle to exercising regularly is lack of time. Setting aside an hour for a class may seem impossible, but ten minutes? That is surely doable. We show you simple ways to include more physical activity in your day, without having to schedule ‘exercise sessions’. Perfect for those of you who are intention rich, time poor! Our goal is to use the mini workouts to reset and rebalance your body. And, because balance in your body requires balance in your life, we’ll also look at small lifestyle changes that deliver big results.

The Pilates Express® programme will improve your strength and flexibility, toning every inch, streamlining your body. The exercises work on your posture, core stability and improve the efficiency of your breathing. These are things that Pilates is already famous for, but this time we are going further, deeper. We’re also going to look at simple ways to ensure your body can cope with stress better, explore ways to reduce chronic inflammation (a major cause of many diseases) and help your immune system function optimally.

Whether you want to lose weight, improve your fitness or tone up, this essential guide will help you integrate Pilates into your daily life and achieve your goals.
