Stretching for Stiffies: A Full Body Pilates Reformer Stretching Routine for Every Body

I am a pilates teacher and bought this book for some ideas for stretching clients on the reformer. The stretches are obvious and basic. You could work them out even if you had not gone through reformer training and all of them would be covered by existing training. There is nothing innovative or interesting in this book and in most cases you wouldn't even need a reformer to do the stretches. Save yourself the money. I would return if I could. If it would let me give this book a 0 rating I would have.

This is not the book I thought I was wanting which is probably my own fault, maybe I didn't read about it clearly enough. It seems to be for teachers and professionals. Each exercise seems to use a piece of equipment I haven't seen even in my local gym. The book is good for the right person in the right environment but I don't see how you could do these exercises in your own home. So although it may be good I don't think it is for the beginner wanting to stretch at home.

The drawings of the skeleton with muscles in color were EXTREMELY helpful. I’ve been a pilates instructor fr 5 years; the details in this book will certainly help me be a better instructor.

The funny title gets a few chuckles. But the content is serious--good stretches that most of us would benefit from, using Pilates apparatus to achieve effective stretches.

Le illustrazioni e le istruzioni sono veramente molto chiare e comprensibili, e mostrano come utilizzare la panca da pilates per fare stretching in modo ottimale. Ho messo solo 4 stelle perché il libro, pur comprendendo tutti i principali gruppi muscolari, è di sole 54 pagine. In ogni caso è un ottimo acquisto.

Great book

I bought it for use on my kindle. Tried to download it but got message that not compatible. No option for return. Apparently I could use on the pc but that is nowhere near my reformer
