User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Pilates on the Ball
Ellie Herman is a wonderful pilates instructor, and all of her books are well written and easy to follow. I use a lot of her tips in my pilates classes.

5 Stars Fantastic book!
This is the third book I have bought from Ulysses Press, and it is just as good as the other two (“Weight-bearing workouts for women”, and “Weights on the Ball workbook” – which is particularly good, and I highly recommend). This book has the Ulysses Press trade-mark ‘lay-flat binding’ – so useful during exercise, and is well-organized, well-illustrated, very informative, with great exercises and a very nice work-out sequence. Ellie Herman has taken the original Pilates matwork sequence and has adapted it to the exercise ball, with a few additional Pilates exercises thrown in. This is a natural progression from the regular Pilates matwork routine, you can easily and quickly transfer to this program if you are already familiar with the original Pilates matwork. This book is easy to follow, well illustrated, and gives all the usual information associated with Pilates, as well as with using the fitness ball, including important safe-guards. I highly recommend this book. My next Ulysses Press purchase is going to be Ellie Herman’s Pilates Props matwork book – based on how good this book is, I know that one is going to be a winner as well.
