Product Description
Ellie Herman's Pilates Workbook on the Ball shows how proper use of the Physioball makes it easier to gain the strengthening and slimming effects of the Pilates technique. Originally developed for physical therapy patients, the ball is a low-impact, high-intensity fitness tool that adds fun, variety, and effectiveness to a workout session. A certified Pilates instructor for ten years, Herman offers comprehensive aerobics and exercise routines utilizing the ball to reposition classic Pilates exercises. By combining the ball with Pilates, Herman demonstrates how to strengthen key muscles while slimming and shaping the body in easy-to-follow photo sequences. The exercises are appropriate for both beginners and for more advanced Pilates practitioners. Published with a convenient lay-flat binding, over 200 photos are included to precisely demonstrate proper techniques and abbreviated movements to help beginners get started. Ellie Herman's Pilates Workbook on the Ball offers a straightforward way to learn Joseph Pilates's authentic techniques.

This is the third book I have bought from Ulysses Press, and it is just as good as the other two ("Weight-bearing workouts for women", and "Weights on the Ball workbook" - which is particularly good, and I highly recommend). This book has the Ulysses Press trade-mark 'lay-flat binding' - so useful during exercise, and is well-organized, well-illustrated, very informative, with great exercises and a very nice work-out sequence. Ellie Herman has taken the original Pilates matwork sequence and has adapted it to the exercise ball, with a few additional Pilates exercises thrown in. This is a natural progression from the regular Pilates matwork routine, you can easily and quickly transfer to this program if you are already familiar with the original Pilates matwork. This book is easy to follow, well illustrated, and gives all the usual information associated with Pilates, as well as with using the fitness ball, including important safe-guards. I highly recommend this book. My next Ulysses Press purchase is going to be Ellie Herman's Pilates Props matwork book - based on how good this book is, I know that one is going to be a winner as well.
