The exercises are all on YouTube, but as form is important for working the proper muscles, taking several beginner Pilates mat classes is a good way to improve. Women and ballet dancers are almost always better at getting the proper form, so look for videos accordingly. A lot of men do the routines from the perspective of strength rather than smoothness which requires developing strength to achieve. Go for smoothness.
