In this user-friendly introduction to beginner's Pilates exercises, instructor Katrina Stachowski leads a small group of women of varying skill levels through a routine that is neither difficult nor time-consuming--with attention to safety, and alternative moves for the less flexible demonstrated throughout. Not a primer on the background or theories behind Pilates, this utilitarian program is comprised of four basic elements: warm-up, strength exercises, abdominals and back, and relaxation/cool down. While geared towards newcomers, this would also be welcomed by those who simply want to incorporate Pilates into their regular exercise regimen. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (K. Sullivan)
