Pilates can be safely used by pregnant women to learn proper breathing and body alignment, improve concentration, and recover body shape and tone after pregnancy. And since the mind is engaged with the body to perform the movements correctly, users experience a new awareness of muscle function and control.

Mari Winsor's Pilates system uses her unique 'dynamic sequencing' technique – an easy to understand combination of exercises done in a specific order and rhythm to produce maximum results! This workout requires no equipment and can be done at home or while traveling.

The essence of this workout program is the 'powerhouse' - abdomen, lower back, hips and buttocks - which are worked, supported and strengthened, to sculpt a streamlined body and enable the rest of the body to move freely. Mari works with these core muscle groups.

There are a variety of optional add-ons to the Winsor Pilates system - the basic package has all you need to get started, sculpt the body and lose inches and pounds with this low impact, calorie burning workout. There is a journal for monitoring progress, a meal planner, a workout guide for travellers and resistance workout with band. The 'best value' package adds upper body, abs, buns/thighs and advanced power sculpting. Athletes may consider the 'maximum burn' package in order to progress quickly to a more challenging workout. Beginners or mature users will prefer the 'endless fitness' version - this version includes a back workout.

Whether you are new to fitness and working out, a conditioned athlete or returning to fitness work after a long break, this program is well presented, easy to follow, fun and has everything required for success in getting back into shape and condition.
