Essential

GREAT reference for those of use who have no idea what we are doing or how it will help. VERY user friendly.

A Must Have For Pilates Enthusiasts And Teachers

This book is excellent , it's probably my favorite pilates book I have.There's tons of exercises for the foam roller , elastic band, magic circle/small ball and a few exercises with a pinkie ball and even one exercise with a towel.The book is very comfortable to use because of its lay flat binding and the writing is concise and easy to follow along with the pictures. There's also a "suggested workouts" chapter with programs for specific body parts(like :knee ,foot & ankle ,lower back) to help you rehabilitate in case you have injuries and want to strengthen those parts also there are full body programs for every prop and one multiprop workout using all the props together for a challenging and varied workout ,the programs are laid out as charts with small pictures so it's really easy to follow. This book is the only extensive source I know for integrating props in Pilates , so it's worth buying.

A really great exercise book

Ellie Herman's Pilates Workbook on the Ball was such a good book that I had to get this book of hers too. I am very pleased with the exercises, and like having now the variety of Pilates exercises on the big ball (from the other book) as well as Pilates on the roller, magic circle, and thera-band, from this book. Everything is well laid out and explained. I highly recommend this book.
