1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this book!
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...

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., August 27, 2003
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one has an excellent exercise program., May 8, 2002

This review is from: Pilates Workbook: Illustrated Step-by-Step Guide to Matwork Techniques (Paperback)
I've been doing a lot of researching on valuable books on the Pilates method to keep in my library and this one fits the bill. It has 12 exercise levels you can follow and looking at the Pilates "family tree" on page 12 you'll know that you are getting authentic Pilates program. This book, books authored by Alan Menezes,Lynn Robinson, and Alycea Ungaro(Pilates body in motion) are well written books you should keep in your library...

Scored major points with my wife with this book... She is taking Pilates instruction and enjoys this book very much, it is getting dog-eared.
