The 'Sports P...Thanks for all that info Alan. <br /><br />The 'Sports Pilate's' book may turn into the most useful book you have read. After being convinced by a physio to do some Pilate's some months ago I would recommend Pilate's to anyone. It's not a 'magic cure' but very useful to improve running form and for injury prevention. <br /><br />I don't know how far into the book you are but my understanding of pilate's is; to increase balance, flexibility, core strength and stability through the holistic(all the body) approach. Most runners would argue that the it's only the legs and lungs that they use, whilst ignoring the benefits of a strong core, back and greater flexibility.<br /><br />All the exercises are done whilst your relaxed and under control with the spine and pelvis remaining stable and in a strait line.<br /><br />Best of luck with it.Antony Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090787187350447584noreply@blogger.com
