All you need is a mat to reap the benefits of pilates. There's no excuse not to begin your at-home pilates practice!
The book takes readers through the complete sequence of Pilates Mat exercises with photos and step-by-step instructions. Formal Pilates classes are enormously beneficial; however, they are also very expensive. Using The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Pilates on the Mat, readers can practice Pilates Mat exercises on their own—without all the expensive and intimidating equipment found in the studio or gym. 
Pilates is a fitness phenomenon that's been around for nearly 100 years. Through a series of strength and stretching exercises, it builds core body strength, improves posture, relieves pain, alleviates symptoms of serious chronic diseases, and has a positive impact on all of the vital systems—all while building a connection between the body and the mind.
Along the way, fitness expert Karon Karter gives readers:
   • A Pilates primer: how and why the method works on every body, inside and out.
   • Basics for better breathing and posture.
   • Safe instruction for flexing toward your healthiest self.
   • Expert advice on Pilates Mat exercises and using simple equipment, such as the Magic Circle.
   • Poses and postures to increase range of motion, bone density, respiration, circulation, and muscle control.
   • Exercises for toning muscles and melting fat, making the body look lean, healthy, and younger.
