Pilates

Good book

This is a fantastic reference guide. Anybody who enjoys Pilates even if they are doing follow along workouts online could use this for a reference for technique. For Pilates instructors this is a must have.

This is a wonderful book by renowed pilates expert Rael Isacowitz for anyone interested in Pilates. Some parts of the book dealing with musculature and the human body get slightly technical, which is to be expected, but nothing too intense. I am a beginner and while I'm taking private lessons, I felt that a book would also help immensely. This book breaks everything down really well, with a strong emphasis on form and posture. It also includes modifications. Exercises are categorized as fundamental, intermediate and advanced based on level of complexity, and as hip work, abdominals, foot work etc for the part of the body that's being worked. Breath work is an important component and each exercise includes details on when to inhale and exhale. There are exercises for the entire range of pilates apparatuses that include the Cadillac and wunda chair. Overall, I'm excited about practicing Pilates and highly recommend this book!

Great book.
