Summary: Pilates Body Conditioning
Comment: This is a good book for Pilates beginners who don't have enough time to go through the thoroughness and nitty gritty that other Pilates book (such as Body Control Pilates) offers, because the information are presented succinctly yet completely. The self-assessment portion helps figure out how to align your spine and posture, and the warm up exercises really serve to limber up your body in preparation for the workout. In fact, if performed accurately and correctly, the warm up exercises can constitute a workout in themselves. The book comes with full-color photographs. For each particular step, photos are shown. Arrows help the reader figure out which direction to move their limbs. Alternative exercises for those with injuries are also included. For those who wish to do Pilates in a Pilates gym/studio, a chapter is also devoted on a typical exercises that one can do using Pilates equipment.

Summary: Not the best book on Pilates
Comment: This is the only one book on Pilates wich has been translated in italian. There's a whole chapter dedicated to exercises with Pilates machinery, that is completely useless for who wants to train at home. The proposed routines apply Pilates priciples, but the exercises are different from the Pilates original ones. This is not necessarily a fault, but they often require the use of a pletora of small and big pillows and towels to place here and there that you may not always have at your disposal. The routines are not optimized for a half hour, early morning, at home workout, that many potential buyer of a Pilates book are seeking for. From this point of view Brooke Siler's book (which I'm following now) is far better.

Summary: Alan Herdman teaches Pilates, with Anna Selby
Comment: It is good to find a Pilates book coming straight from Alan Herdman who has taught so many of the well-known Pilates teachers. He and Anna Selby have put together a book with clear attractive photos to show all the exercises, good instructions and extra boxes of information. I liked the self-assessment section and was fascinated by the pictures of equipment in his studio. Now I've just got to practise.
