."."cks more of a strength-training punch than Pilates."
very deceiving title For men looking for books on the Pilates method, do not get fooled by this one. The exercises it are very loosely based in the Pilates method. Being a Pilates instructor, I am always seeing what is on the market in order to make recommendations to students in my classes on materials to use at home.A Pilates book aimed at men is long over due I was completely disappointed when I sat down and started reading this through. For the reviewer who was not seeing results he wanted in the Pilates method (six pac abs, big muscles, etc.), you have been miseducated on what to expect from doing it. So please, don't ". Pilates for Men SportsFan I highly recommend this book to any men out there who are looking to get in shape. Traditional Pilates was created for dancers as a rehabilitation program (which is not the general male population).I read this book thoroughly, and McNergney has created a strong pilates based program called IM=X. After trying the exercise routines I find this program to be very powerful and has helped me improve my "core strength" (lower back trunk muscles and abs). If I tried the traditional pilates moves I would probably end up on the couch with a strained back because of the dancer moves.By supplementing the IM=X Progr. Doing it with weights and a Ring Prisca Low I got this for my husband. It's very nicely illustrated and shows you clearly what the position should like. She inludes goals; target msucles; and techniques information beginning in chapter 3 and onward. That being said, the other Pilates for Men book seems better.
