Great as far as Pilates Books Go, but Buy a Video 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

It was this book which I saw a bookstore and bought online at Amazon.com that got my wife and I hooked on Pilates. I (a male) was at first apprehensive that some of my friends might find out that I was doing Pilates. But as I saw my wife with this book struggling through the exercises, I thought "Wow! That looks hard. I don't know if I could do that." I'm a guy who's up for a challenge, so I began doing them with her. Then watching us, my parents got hooked. Instead of getting a book, however, they bought the Mari Windsor video series. If it wasn't for me knowing about and now working with the videos, I would give this book 5 stars. It very clearly, in full color pictures and very easy-to-read language demonstrates how to do Pilates. I think it actually has helped me to perform the exercises on the video more correctly. But since I now know just how good the videos are I have to drop the book to 4 stars since it just can't compete with its multimedia rival.

And now my friends who were making fun of me are actually working out with me. Just last night my living room was full of people (male and female) "doing Pilates."

In conclusion, I would recommend that you try the Winsor Pilates videos (the only other that I have seen is Pilates for Dummies and it is pretty bad), and then if you still need more help mastering the techniques this book is a good aid.

Editorial Review:

Pilates is the most popular exercise system going--just try it and you'll know why! It works out the entire body, keeping you limber and strong everywhere. The principles of the system are beautifully outlined here, with details on posture, breathing, and other techniques you need to train safely. Each exercise has so many benefits: even the simple pussy cat and ankle stretch increases flexibility and fortifies the heart, lungs, thymus, and thyroid gland, too. Bonus: basic remedial exercises to fix up what's ailing you!

Excelent Book!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I used this book during my Master in Science (Biofilm modelling). The theory contained in this book is up to date and every chapter in it contains valuable information. It was of great help, chapters are well organized and it covers all important aspects of environmental biotechnology.
A must have for every person related to environmental engineering or sciences.

Editorial Review:

Written by two of the field's foremost researchers, this comprehensive learning resource presents the biological principles that underlie modern microgbiological treatment technologies designed to improve environmental quality. The first half is focused on the principles, the tools for describing the stoichiometry and energetics of microbial reactions, and for the proper application of kinetics. The second half features applications--with many example problems--to take readers through the procedures to understand how microbial systems work and to design a treatment process.

This book is a real encyclopedia for group instructors to broaden one`s knowledge in step aerobics

Editorial Review:

This manual, which comprises both a theoretical and a practical section, addresses itself to all who are interested in the many and various uses of step apparatus during functional fitness and health training. The theoretical section gives an overview of aims, types of training and programme structure as well as methods of teaching and arranging. In the practical sections, basic steps, combinations of steps, arm movements and arm formations are described, as well as standard techniques, and set out in the usual terms. The section on technique is rounded off with a description of functional strengthening and mobility exercises with and at the step apparatus. The step aerobics programmes thus elaborated aim, on the one hand, at training general dynamic endurance and co-ordination; on the other hand, programmes are introduced, which also train strength and mobility. The programmes are designed so that they can be transferred straight into a practical teaching programme.
