The Pilates Body: The Ultimate At-Home Guide to Strengthening, Lengthening, and Toning Your Body--Without Machines

This is the best Pilates book I have ever had the pleasure of owning. It is clear, concise, and each movement is detailed in a step-by-step breakdown which is easy to comprehend and very useful when instructing others. There are lots of photos and also an 'inside sccop' to each movement giving tips and visuals to help you perform it precisely. Besides the intro which covers the pricipals and key elements to mastering Pilates, the book has four sections which cover Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Advanced Extra. It's just wonderful! Highly recommended.

As Pilates teacher I like this book for the out of the box little drawings and images, the teaching points, the extras. For a Pilates Novice it is an easy to follow manual.

Good book clearly set out with good information and a break down of beginners to advance pilates. Brought second hand book in good condition and a great price.

dont usually go for the books rater have the dvd however made an exception for this and glad i did - good clear explanations with progressive moves mapped out

Bought to help with back problem (Pilates recommended to me). Book has easy to follow instructions (note some of the movements NOT suitable for back problems, but it does tell you not to do these).

This book has been a tremendous encouragement for my Pilates exercises. Its a great book at a great price! I'll be buying pre-owned books from now on.

Fabulous book . Perfect condition as I bought it 2nd hand
