Mary’s note:
These three books are some of the most comprehensive books widely available. They are easy to read, the descriptions are correct and the use of imagery is helpful.

The Pilates Method of Body Conditioning  

Sean P. Gallagher & Romana Kryzanowska
Publisher: BainBridgeBooks

 The Complete Book of Pilates for Men

Daniel Lyon Jr.
Publisher: Harper Collins

Mary’s note:
A male friend and client brought this book to my attention. I have found it to be an excellent resource book and also very good for home practice. The descriptions and drawings are just as Joseph Pilates would have taught them; alternatives/modifications to some of the original exercises are included.  A good book to have in your Pilates library.

Mary’s note:
I really like this book. It is fun and the drawings are great! You open the book and pop in the CD and you are doing Pilates!  A workout that is easy to follow and fun, too!
