Brooke believes in PIlates and has developed a way to make it a part of your daily life. Her illustrations are great and complement the models' demonstration of the moves. A DVD isn't necessary, and you get to work at your own pace, a definite advantage over classes and videos. According to Brooke never do more if you can't do it properly. This book got me excited about pilates, and if she does do a DVD I'm standing in line to buy it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
