Pilates, by Rael Iscowitz, and Pilates: Three In One

So far I have avoided buying Pilates books, generally, since the ones that seem the best also seem to be ridiculously high-priced. This one was just under $20, and is written by one of the old guard of Pilates. It's a really nice, very clear book that takes you through all the different apparati, and includes helpful suggestions of complete workouts in the back. Pretty cool.

Also picked up (from the bargain bin) a Pilates book targeted more at Joe-Schmoe-Home-Workouter. It's called Pilates: Three in One, and has three sections which could each stand alone as a book, focusing on exercises that can be done at home. The first two sections are simple mat work, but it was the third that convinced me to buy it. It's alot of really interesting work with a theraband, which I'm hoping to incorporate into my class tomorrow.
