Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Explaining the fundamental Eight Principles through core programmes, this volume provides 'Pilates prescriptions' for your specific needs. It serves as a useful reference for various issues ranging from back pains, posture problems to prevention of common sports injuries and training your children to use their bodies properly.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Everything about this tome by the leading Pilates authorities is official, marking it out as a serious, in-depth guide to the fitness system which creates lean bodies through building muscle, tone and flexibility.

Unlike many fitness books (including yoga), there is nothing superficial, glamorous or intimidating about the visuals. Photos (from various angles) are cleverly backed up with extra diagrams where needed, plus illustrations of the relevant muscles. Instructions are simple and surprisingly easy to follow.

At first glance this might seem more like a teacher's manual. After a detailed introduction, it is divided into beginners, intermediate, advanced and prescriptions. On closer examination, with the huge emphasis on explanations of how different muscles work, and the level of detail, it is a cross between a medical and fitness handbook. Indeed to many the health benefits of Pilates will be an additional, welcome, surprise.

In the end, however, it is an indispensable health guide, appealing both to hard-core Pilates fans as well as newcomers. The final section (Prescriptions) on work, play, health and even the performing arts, provides simple and invaluable advice, and even if you have never been to a Pilates class, you can benefit hugely. You are unlikely to ever sit or stand the same way again with this book in your home! --Lorna V.

4 out of 5 stars Very useful   June 26, 2010

This book was recommended to me by my Body Control Pilates instructor and has proved a useful tool to compliment my classes. Exercises are easy to find within the book and in most cases easy alternatives are offered allowing you to progress at home as you do in class.

I had this book before but gave up pilates. I have now joined a pilates class and this book is a helpful guide when I have forgotten the class exercises. It is quite an old publication but does not date.

This is a beautifully presented book - very good introduction, clearly set out for easy access in stages of progress, definitive step-by-step methods and wonderfully illustrated. Very good value for money and an extremely worthwhile investment.

I found this book really interesting and helpful to accompany the class I attend each week. It gives more explanation and context to what I am learning.

As a beginner, I'm not sure I would have performed the moves correctly and to the benefit of my muscles and joints if I didn't have someone to correct my posture. In my opinion, this book is a great 'back up' to personal instruction.
