Book Review: A Caveat to Beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading the myriad positive comments on Amazon about this book, and blithely not heeding the advice of some reviewers who mentioned the "maybe not best suited for beginners" factor, I forged ahead and ordered it. Although it does offer helpful guidelines to the exercises, I must agree with those aforementioned sage reviewers: the book is not as beneficial to beginners as it probably is to those who have already had some exposure to Pilates. There aren't enough instructional photos to depict the various movements described for each exercise, and the very important section, "Key Elements to Mastering the Mat," isn't as clear and descriptive as it needs to be. Maybe I'm just a quitter (which is undeniably possible :), but I don't feel comfortable using this book to learn Pilates without first getting some formal instruction.
