Simply Pilates by Jennifer Pohlman (2004, Package)

If you are interested in learning pilates, this is a great book to check out. It has easy to follow steps, tells you up front what items you will need to have on hand (like a low chair or pillows). It also tells you about Pilates princples (which include: concentration, control, centre, fluidity, precision, and breath). The pages have easy to follow steps, great pictures to help you understand what you need to be doing and some have side notes giving you tips on what not to do. Also the book comes with a 42 minute DVD that has a complete Pilates class on it that is fun to do.

Simply Pilates, by Jennifer Pohlman, is a great book for those who are new to pilates. It explains the Pilates Principles and takes you step by step through the fundamentals and concepts. Each exercise has large full color photographs to help guide you. The exercises work up in difficulty for you to learn and progress your skills. There are notes on each page to answer questions and to make sure you are executing the move properly. This is a great full body pilates workout. The DVD is a 42 minute long class and follows the book giving you more instruction and the visual as well. This is a great step by step book and DVD for the pilates beginner.

I bought this because I wanted a holistic way to lose weight, get into shape, bring my energy level back up and improve my mind. This seemed to be the way to go.
The price and shipping were just right and within my eBay budget. The Pilates Book and DVD were in excellent condition. The program is so easy because it's low impact. The exercises stimulate you without a hard workout.
I've already lost 8 pounds and my mind is a lot sharper after only 1 month. Very happy with this program.

Very informative.Step by step instructions. Very easy to read and understand large print. Carry anywhere to read.

It is excellent for beginners. I had one already and ordered some for friends.
If you follow the instructor, your core gets a good workout. You don't have to be in good shape to use this program.

I love this Dvd! I just recently had surgery and find that this is low impact, but the results are huge! You will feel that you have done the workout without the stress of it on your neck and entire back!
