Book Description

October 28, 2003 For WimpsT Series
Wimps of the World--you can work out without being embarrassed. Here is Pilates broken down and made simple for those who want to get fit without becoming a gym rat. The bestselling Wimps series shows the way to Pilates success with the help of a certified, highly experienced instructor; easy-to-follow instructions; and a wealth of detailed, encouraging photographs of ordinary, average guys and gals mastering the technique. Begin toning and reshaping your body with basic mat exercises for the stomach, back, legs, and arms, plus powerhouse moves that work each area together. Choose from a menu of different options that relieve everyday problems, including the tension that builds while sitting at a computer all day. There's even a "no time to workout" workout. Pilates is truly a body-changing experience, and with this reassuring presentation, no wimp need miss out.

5.0 out of 5 stars From a real reviewer!!!, May 22, 2005

This review is from: Pilates for Wimps: Total Fitness for the Partially Motivated (For WimpsT Series) (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from my local library. I love it so much I have signed on to Amazon to order it for myself. Regardless of what the last reviewer thinks (how bored is that person anyway?)I have honestly read this book and found it simple, straight forward, and easy to follow. I tried several other books and videos and this was the clearest and least intimidating. People looking for an introduction to Pilates, this is definately the right book for you!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book to get you started and keep you going., November 28, 2003
By 
This review is from: Pilates for Wimps: Total Fitness for the Partially Motivated (For WimpsT Series) (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I've read on Pilates or home exercise of any kind. It is intelligently written, with a sense of humor as well - giving the reader a good sense of the seriousness with which the author approaches her subject, and also the fun she imbues into exercise! The steps are clear and designed to provide the maximum effect, and protection against strain or injury. The results are wonderful - a sense, especially for us middle-age folks, of strenthening in the places that really become fragile over time - very quickly you feel you can do so many more things with confidence, rather than tentativeness. And when you get through the basics, there are some really challenging and interesting exercises at the end that the author herself demonstrates. This book will take you far.

This review is from: Pilates for Wimps: Total Fitness for the Partially Motivated (For WimpsT Series) (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! As a physical therapist I try and incorporate Pilates in my treatment sessions to strengthen and stretch my patients. This is an easy to follow book that I can recommend to my patients so they can exercise at home in a safe an effective way. A great book for any level of fitness!!
