The Lotte Berk Method, as it has been developed and promoted by Lydia Bach, is an exciting program of exercise founded on the philosophy that life should be lived enthusiastically and energetically, and that the woman who is truly beautiful is the one who feels confidence in herself and radiates a zest for living. The method combines the most effective movements of modern dance and Hatha yoga, with special emphasis on sensible orthopedic exercises and pelvic movements. It is an effective program that firms, lengthens and shapes muscles to their optimal form. Contains specially designed firming tension exercises to work all the abdominal muscle groups, starting just below the bust and firming and strengthening each group all the way down. According to the author, within weeks of following the routine in this book you will see the waist diminish, the stomach flatten, the thigh and bottom firm, and you will soon realize that you are walking with more spring in your step, feel better about yourself, and indeed do have a new self-confidence and vitality.
