Summary: Do not buy this book!
Review: Buy The Pilates Body by Brooke Siler instead!! I bought both books and found the Pilates Workbook useless! The Pilates Body by Brooke Siler is so much better - Brooke was trained by a protégé of Joseph Pilates, explains the philosophy of Pilates that doesn't put you to sleep, the exercise descriptions are the best I've seen, has a chart of the original 35 Pilates exercises which is great reference when doing Pilates, and explains very advanced extras which were originally developed from the apparatus. This workbook by King is not authentic Pilates and has poor descriptions of the exercises. Definitely not worth the money!!!

Summary: This one has an excellent exercise program.
Review: I've been doing a lot of researching on valuable books on the Pilates method to keep in my library and this one fits the bill. It has 12 exercise levels you can follow and looking at the Pilates "family tree" on page 12 you'll know that you are getting authentic Pilates program. This book, books authored by Alan Menezes,Lynn Robinson, and Alycea Ungaro(Pilates body in motion) are well written books you should keep in your library...

Summary: rather average Pilates book.
Review: This book is pretty basic. I got much more out of The Pilates Body by Brooke Siler than this one. This book is short and does not get into too much of the exercises or techniques.
