Book Reviews of Pilates for Dummies

Book Review: Excellent starting point plus loads to advance your health
Summary: 5 Stars

I had read a few Pilates books and even attempted a couple of DVD's but still found certain basic techniques out of my reach. This book solved the problem. Typical to any book in the Dummies series, things are explained to you in a humorous fashion making you feel you are not alone in the 'not having a clue' department.

I have been using this book to fill in 'rest' days after lifting some weights and have noted a marked difference in posture and the way I move in general. If you are lifting weights, you may even find the way you're working will become smoother as you gain a greater understanding of the more fluid approach to working out.

Can you feel your back stressed out? Check with your doctor or Osteopath and if they're in the least knowledgable of Pilates you could be soon dramatically reducing pain and protecting yourself from further damage.

This book is packed with exercises on the big ball, mat and even a strange bit of foam (that looks great too.. anyone know where to get this?). You'll also be shown a few more advanced techniques that, once mastered, you can show off and have your friends wondering how on earth you got so damn fit?!

A must have!
