Pilates
Our Pilates classes are going well. The Wife wanted to know some mat exercises, so she could do those while she’s away in Paris, so our instructor particularly recommended two books:
The Everything Pilates Book: The Ultimate Guide to Making Your Body Stronger, Leaner, and Healthier, by Amy Taylor Alpers, Rachel Taylor Sege, and Lorna Gentry
A Pilates Primer: The Millennium Edition, by Joseph Pilates
Obviously, nothing replaces a good instructor, who can catch and correct subtle errors of which the client is completely unaware. But in combination with an instructor, these books can be quite helpful. The first is out of print, but you can read Amazon’s reader reviews here.
