Pilates Springboard Exercise Reference for Instructors, 85 Illustrated Spring Wall Exercises, Class Blocks PDF

Seller's description

The springboard block is on your timetable, and you have eight exercises you rotate. This book gives you the whole board: 85 springboard exercises, each with a drawing, set up the same way every time, so you can plan a full class on the wall and teach it to a row of clients without looking anything up.

Every clip height is named by your client's own body: her ankle, knee, hip, waist, chest or shoulder when she stands. Eyebolt numbers change from brand to brand and from board to board, but her body doesn't, so a tall client and a short one can read the same line and both clip in the right place. Each entry tells you which way she faces, which spring, where it clips, what the board adds, the one cue that matters, the fault the spring causes and how to fix it, an easier and a harder option, and where it fits in a class.
