Seller's description

You have read the muscle chapter twice and it still will not stay put. This workbook teaches the muscles a Pilates course asks you to know by having you draw on them: colour each one, write what it does, then name it from a numbered plate before you check.

Then it does what a general anatomy colouring book cannot. On 25 mat and reformer exercises you colour every working muscle by how it works in that moment: one colour when it shortens, one when it lengthens under control, one when it holds. Each page then asks what changes on the way back, and why. On the mat the answer is gravity. On the reformer it is the springs, which always pull the carriage home. Most trainees find that the hardest part of the anatomy module, and here you work it out by hand on every page.
