I have Brooke Siler's original book (March 2000). It is still the best book on Pilates method out there, but however good it is - we all know - nothing, but nothing beats a lesson on video. That is why The Pilates Body Kit is such a let down. One would think that in the past three years Ms. Siler was working on a companion video to her popular book. Why the author chose to produce this kit with cards and audio cds is very perplexing, considering the there are so many Pilates method videos out there (good and not so good). Ms. Siler has missed her chance to produce a superior one.
