Ellie Herman's Pilates Wunda Chair ebook

by Ellie Herman

Ellie Herman Exercise and Fitness English

A manual for the Wunda Chair. This guide is meant for Pilates trainers and fitness professionals as well as for Pilates aficionados who want a deeper understanding of their own practice. The book takes you through the classic Wunda Chair repertoire as well as introducing original exercises devloped by Ellie Herman and her instructors over the last 15 years. The photos picture the Combo Chair manufactured by Ballanced Body, but all exercises can also be done on the Wunda Chair.

This is another fine Pilates instruction manual from Ellie Herman. Exercises are carefully graded, well photographed and clearly cued. Particulary useful for newcomers to the Wunda/Combo Chair is the meticulous instruction for using the springs, having worked through the whole book I've found it to be very accurate. I have used the manual successfully on our UK Pilates Instructors training programme and would recommend for your library. I would love to have seen a section devoted to using the Chair for rehab, a tool for which it is ideally suited, maybe this will follow?

Great exercises to keep strong!

I am a Pilates Instructor and I found this book most invaluable. My only criticism is the printing - the pages seem to be photocopied rather than printed - poor quality!

I expected a bit more from the book as if is from Ellie Herman. The book is okay but not great in the explanation of the exercises and I thought that there would be more with the Pilates created Wunda Chair.

I bought this book for a gift and was very disappointed in the quality. For $50 I really expected quality images and instead got something that looked like it had been mimeographed. That being said, the information within was great, terrifically detailed and clearly presented, so I swallowed my embarrassment and gave the gift anyway. In a nutshell, outstanding ($50) content in a cheesy ($15) wrapper.

Whatever

The book is absolutely fantastic for teaching either introductory or advanced wunda chair repertoire - the introductory explanations are concise and the cues she provides for each exercise really help you to understand what the exercise requires. These are invaluable teaching aids. My only criticism is that the reproduction quality of the book is average which is a shame for a book which could become your 'bible'.

Excellent book. Well written and easy to follow. Ellie Herman is very knowledgeable and has been in the pilates field for years. I have purchased many of her other books also.

a reference, for advanced students and professional pilates instructors.
