Beautifully illustrated
I really like this book. They did a great job illustrating the pictures in an easy to read and understand way the color coordinated muscle groups is very appealing. The information is pretty generic but well done and delivered in a very useful, practical, elegant manner. I would recommend this.

Fabulous!!!!!
âFabulous!â Thank you Tracy Ward for writing this book! This is exactly what I had been looking for and unable to find until a good friend told me this book had been published. The organization of the book makes it really easy to use as a daily guide and reference while I am re-strengthening my lower back. The simple, clear, and thorough explanations along with fabulous illustrations guide me well through the exercises with ease.Anyone who is looking for ways to strengthen various parts of the body and/or learn more about Pilates – this is an excellent resource.

Cliente Amazon –
Manca sempre il perché di tutti i programmi ed è la chiave però diventerebbe una serie infinita di volumi di spessore importante ⦠quindi opuscolo basico sintetico immagini ben fatte e chiare ma poche come anche la teoria. Però lâho sfogliato con interesse ⦠in pratica è quello che troverà un utente nel sito della scrittrice pilates Anytime ⦠movimento si, ma poco informativo e quindi uguale a una palestra qualsiasi.
