Find the exercises that target the muscle you want to l“memorizeo“, and then do each Pilates exercise, concentrating on the muscle being worked. The combination of the kinesthetic awareness with the visualization of the muscle will change your entire outlook on learning anatomy and biomechanics! You’ll learn quickly, more effectively and more efficiently….and you’ll remember it too!
