Book Reviews of Your Ultimate Pilates Body? Challenge: At the Gym, on the Mat, and on the Move
Book Review: another great book from Siler
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a great compliment to Brooke Siler's "The Pilates Body." I would highly recommend it to anyone feeling like they are in a rut at the gym. Book Review: Pilates PhD
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the PhD level of Pilates. Brooke Siler doesn't dumb-down. Read, flag pages, highlight words, whatever you need to do to get going on this book and her other book too (The Pilates Body).
I flagged the pages for 3 different days of workouts. So the top set of flags I did one day, the set of flags on the side of pages I did the second day, and set of flags on bottom of pages I do the third day. Then I rotate back to the 1st day of flags at the top of pages. Otherwise it would have seemed too grueling and arduous a workout. I can't be stuck on my living room floor for 8 hours a day. I gotta get this done in 45-minutes then get to work. Maybe you know what I mean. Pilates, like dance, could go on forever.
This book provides the basis for a good workout, week after week, without getting bored. Anything that keeps you moving, no matter what level you use it at, is GOOD. You can use this at the beginner, intermediate or advanced level, and her pages indicate this too.
Book Review: Pilates Body Challenge
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was recommended to me by my physical therapist after I went to her for a back injury. It's really helpful because it shows the correct way to do so many things - gym stuff, daily life things, etc. I highly recommend this for anyone suffering from back pain, it's a great tool.Book Review: Great practical application of Pilates to everyday life
Summary: 4 Stars
Some great tips to get you using Pilates principles in everyday activities, and to sneak in a mini workout while queuing at the bank! Very practical.
A little repitition if you already have Brooke's earlier book "The Pilates Body", but well worth it.
Book Review: Great Routines- Perfect for Home Pilates Practitioners
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't recommend this (or any other pilates book, for that matter) to anyone just starting out in Pilates- you need to spend time with a teacher to get the technique down. But, for someone looking to suppliment their studio workouts with a home practice, this book offers a variety of routines that target different areas of the body, along with suggestions for incorporating cardio.
