Excellent Intro to Pilates

This book is a great addition to the workout tapes I have. It breaks down each exercise into parts and provides photographs and step by step explanations of the exercise. It also provides beginner, intermediate and advanced routines so that you can do the exercises on your own without a video....

Pilates Body in Motion

This is the best of the pilates books I own. The explainations and illustrations make the moves easy to understand and do properly. There are several one page charts for beginner, intermediate and advanced. I found these valuable for learning to flow through the routines without having to turn...

great travel or miss the studio solution

Great tool for travel or when you miss the studio. I am just a pilates student, so having something to hold my hand and direct me is needed, so just flipping through the deck in the suggested order has been great. I don't think its a beginners tool because the descriptions somewhat assume you...

For beginners

This basic manual for Pilates is especially helpful because of the cautions about avoiding poor form while you're doing the exercises. The limitations of any book attempting to teach you how to do physical movements is offset by the authors' knowledge of what mistakes typical beginners make.

"Look better, perform better, and, above all, feel better"

I am relatively new to Pilates. Thankfully, I had beginner's luck, due to the fact that Ungaro's "Pilates: body in motion" was one of the first two books I bought regarding Pilates. The other was not too good, but this one more than makes up for it.In my opinion, Alycea Ungaro should be praised...
