Jennifer Kries' unique fitness method, combining dance, yoga and Pilates gives exercisers the best of all three, creating long, lean, tones muscles, regal posture and a calm mind. Truly a head-to-toe holistic work that takes into account mind, body and spirit, Jennifer's moves can change your body without heavy weights, difficult aerobics or endless repetitions. Using three-dimensional movement that works the body as an integrated whole, you'll see visible results in a short period of time. Best of all, your body will not only look better, it will function better as well.

This book is a perfect companion to Jennifer's Method Pilates videos or great as a stand alone piece to those who prefer to do their own workouts, minus the television. Those who do own the videos (and that's over 3 million people!) will recognize the moves, but get further insight into the exercises with the book, beginning with the nine essential elements of The Method.

Illustrated with countless photos, you can clearly see how the exercises should be performed. Jennifer's text insights give further directions and clarification, especially in dealing with elements you can't see, like breathing. It's almost like having a personal trainer, so you can be sure you're getting the most out of the time you spend working out.

In addition to the basic Method Pilates/Dance/Yoga workout Jennifer also provides training tips and combinations for days when you're short on time as well as sports specific workouts to get you in shape for the activities you enjoy (swimming, skiing, bicycling, tennis, golf, running, climbing, etc.). The exercises are also broken down by category, so you could also choose to do just yoga, just Pilates or just dance moves, although you'll undoubtedly achieve better results by combining.
