Format:Paperback
I go to a Pilates class at least twice a week which I feel has really helped with my rock climbing and cycling. Not only in terms of developing core strength, but also forearm strength and balance. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any athlete.
This book has a good selection of exercises but a felt that quite a lot of the sport specific advise was rushed and she seems to recommend pretty much the same thing for everyone. The photography is not brilliant in terms of showing correct form and overall I feel you'd be much better off buying a generic Pilates book. "Pilates for Men" is a much better title in my opinion.

I have had a very stiff back and neck for about a year now, doing the excercises in this book has started to free up my spine and let me get to sleep again at night woo hoo!. This book is extremely well written and pictorialy supported. Of particular interest to me was the fact that it has a section for climbers. These specific excercises help increases flexibility/core/antagonistic muscles to avoid injury - all massivly important for my sport. I would normally buy a DVD to teach me Pilates etc (easier than having to read volumes before getting to one exercise) but the book is so simple and quick to use - I especially love the different programmes set so no excuses for not doing this regularly.

Very detailed pictures

The quality of the physical construction of the book is excellent. The author also takes great pains to produce a sequence of photographs demonstrating the exercise. It would be nice to have a DVD set moving through various 25 min workout sessions for the the various disciplines. Pilates is highly recommended for multisport athletes.
