Pilates Workbook offers a straightforward way to learn Joseph Pilates’s authentic techniques. Unlike other books based on Pilates’s teachings, this book illustrates the core matwork movements exactly as he intended them to be performed. Divided into two sections, Pilates Workbook begins with 15 two-page spreads that answer readers’ questions about Pilates and the core principles of the program. The bulk of the book is then dedicated to the exercises. Readers learn each movement by simply following the photographic sequences and explanatory captions. Published with a convenient lay-flat binding, there are over 200 photos to precisely demonstrate proper techniques and abbreviated movements to help beginners get started.

Do not buy this book!,
By Melissa (MD - USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pilates Workbook: Illustrated Step-by-Step Guide to Matwork Techniques (Paperback)
Buy The Pilates Body by Brooke Siler instead!! I bought both books and found the Pilates Workbook useless! The Pilates Body by Brooke Siler is so much better - Brooke was trained by a protégé of Joseph Pilates, explains the philosophy of Pilates that doesn't put you to sleep, the exercise descriptions are the best I've seen, has a chart of the original 35 Pilates exercises which is great reference when doing Pilates, and explains very advanced extras which were originally developed from the apparatus. This workbook by King is not authentic Pilates and has poor descriptions of the exercises. Definitely not worth the money!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars
rather average Pilates book.,
By Schelli Scarlett "schelliscarlett" (florida usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pilates Workbook: Illustrated Step-by-Step Guide to Matwork Techniques (Paperback)
This book is pretty basic. I got much more out of The Pilates Body by Brooke Siler than this one. This book is short and does not get into too much of the exercises or techniques.
