Finally a complete manual for the Universal Pilates Reformer by San Francisco Pilates expert Ellie Herman. This guide is meant for Pilates trainers and fitness professionals as well as for Pilates aficianados who want a deeper understanding for their own practice. This book takes you through classic Pilates Reformer repertoire as well as introducing original exercises developed by Ellie Herman and her instructors over the last fifteen years. Included in this book are: step by step photo sequences, detailed descriptions of over 100 Reformer exercises, proper breathing and specific alignment cues, benefits and contraindications, rehabilitation applications and special tips and imagery. Review: Fantastic!!!! - I have had a few books on reformer exersizes but this has to be the best one. This book explains perfectly about each exercise using the reformer. It gives you step by step clear photos of each exercise, tells you how setup the reformer for each different exercise ,( which springs/cords, headrest position, footbar position etc), also which muscles the specific exercise targets, there are cues explained easily to help, there are modifications of each exercise and lots of helpful advice and tips. Before you get to the exercises the first few pages explain about the correct breathing, all about the reformer, all about the neutral spine and the core, and so much more useful information. If I could only have one book about exercises on the reformer I would happily get rid of my other books. Review: I heart Ellie - I am a Pilates teacher and am currently furthering my training, I love Ellie Herman's work and find her books by far the easiest to understand and full of good cueing tips. Just to note that not every single all of the exercises are included, and it doesn't include some of the preparations for bigger moves that you might want to build up to (which you might find in the Stott Essential Reformer manual, say) however the explanations are clearer and far more decipherable
