I have severe spine problems. This book is badass. Covers all the anatomy, very detailed on how to do each exercise properly, many exercises and programs from beginner to advanced. My core got very strong within 6 months, and my back is so bad I can barely walk without severe pain. Only a few exercises (in this book) I cannot do.

I got the ebook version and just do these exercises at home. All the illustrations are those that you can enlarge and zoom in/out on at least on my ipad). My spine will likely hurt forever, but when m y core is strong, there is a lot less pressure on my back.

Welcome and thank you for your suggestion. I haven't come across many text routines. Pilates instructor John Garey has text instructions on his website for all his Youtube workouts, Link to his YT channel.

For your text instruction need I would pick up a copy of Pilates Anatomy by Rael Isacowtiz and Karen Clippinger and make a routine out of all the exercises, they go into a lot of detail for every exercise.

Here's a link to a 40-minute video classical (ish) routine by Rael Isacoiwitz
