Editorial Reviews:

The Pilates® method may be today's hottest exercise, but it has been endorsed by physicians for almost a century. Originally developed by Joseph H. Pilates to help strengthen and condition muscles, Pilates is the ultimate mind-body exercise for anyone who wants to tone, streamline, and realign their body without the bulked-up results of more conventional workout methods.
Now, in The Pilates® Body, author Brooke Siler--one of the most sought-after personal trainers in the country and owner of New York's top studio for Pilates training, re:AB--provides a complete, easy-to follow program of Pilates exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime, and without machines.
With step-by-step instructions, Siler guides the reader through the complete circuit of mat exercises, each of which is clearly illustrated by photographs, line drawings, and unique visualization exercises. With Pilates you will not only streamline your figure--you will dramatically improve your posture, flexibility, and balance, and enhance your physical and emotional well-being. The Pilates Body shows you how.

Summary: Easy to read and follow along
Comment: I ordered this book from an East Coast supplier thinking that that it would arrive sooner than if I had ordered it from a West Coast supplier. Such was not the case. I felt the seller was a little slow sending out the product. The book arrived in pretty good condition and I find it pretty easy to follow along. Having said this if you've never attemmpted pilates before it would be worth your time to take a couple of classes to make sure that you're doing the exercises correctly. This is mainly to help prevent injury.

The photos and descriptions are detailed and there is great information on the general principles of Pilates and how it was developed.

Summary: The Best Pilates Book Out There
Comment: If you want to start a home Pilates program this book is the only one you should consider. It is well-written, with very detailed instructions and photos. I especially liked the bullet list of special tips included with each exercise and the categorization of the exercises into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Very Advanced.
