Exercises Inspired by the Teachings of Joseph Pilates by Elisabeth Crawford Photography by Steve Savage

Balance on the Ball was the first book ever published to blend the techniques of Pilates and
stability ball training. Combining the Pilates principles of core control and stabilization with the
instability of the Gymnastik Ball, this book provides a balanced workout for people at all
levels of fitness. There are over 100 exercises to stretch and strengthen every major muscle

alignment, the suggested number of repetitions, modifications or advanced variations, and
a list of muscle groups used. Black-and-white photos clearly illustrate each movement.
