As a mind-body fitness professional I find this book to be a great source of information for a safe and interesting home workout. I have recommended it to clients for their own home use and for inspiring their friends and family members to get a home fitness program on track.

Age Perfected Pilates for any Age,

This review is from: Age Perfected Pilates: Mat Exercises Designed to Improve Posture, Strength & Movement (8564) (Spiral-bound)
I love the way this book starts out. You don't have to be a Physical Therapist to understand it. Ms. Gambino does that work for you. There are a few pages of easy-to-understand explanations about the (Pilates) techniques which will be used, about proper posture and basic rules about starting an exercise program. Then the book becomes more specific with great pictures to show exactly how to do the exercises. Small weighted & un-weighted balls are introduced to focus attention on the muscles being used and to challenge them. The exercises give an over-all workout, while strenghtening the spine and the abdomen. Almost anyone at any level could easily follow this book to improve strength and flexibility.
