Thorough and Useful! October 8, 2009 Frequent Buyer (Pennsylvania) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm a beginner to pilates and found this to be a great instructional DVD. It's easy to follow, not rushed, and you definitely feel the effects. I highly recommend this DVD!!
Amazing intro to pilates! October 3, 2009 M. Naylor 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had a couple pilates dvds, and found this form of exercise wonderful. This dvd is the best one by far. Brooke gives excellent instruction, describing the moves and body placement so you get the most out of your workout. Her instruction is unparalleled, incredibly clear. Even if you're familiar with pilates, chances are you'll love this anyways. I felt like I was getting a private lesson in pilates, something I have not felt with the other dvds. I wish she'd do more dvds, because this is just wonderful. Also, it's done in a lovely outdoor setting. The workout is divided into a low-impact cardio beginning, and the next half is a more traditional beginner mat workout. I tend to get tension headaches, and I felt loose and tension-free after this. This is an absolutely fantastic dvd.
NOT for beginners! September 23, 2009 k-Style (Blue State) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD looking for a good introduction to Pilates. I dance, walk, and do yoga, so I am somewhat fit, but I am new to Pilates.
The first half of this video, Pilates-inspired cardio, is a nice 18-minute routine. It's a little too short, but it does increase the heart rate while toning and lengthening muscles. It was an accessible, enjoyable workout.
Most of the DVD is a "beginner" Pilates workout. I was clearly going to end up frustrated and/or injured, so I stopped. When I told a friend who is a Pilates instructor about the exercises, she agreed that they are not moves for Pilates beginners. She mentioned that some of the exercises, particularly the Scissor, could cause low back injury.
Proceed with caution.
Fantastic job. They were extremely responsive. September 17, 2009 S. speer (Portland, OR) 0 out of 7 found this review helpful
My wife picked up the item and I thought they did not deliver it. When I called they were helpful and assited me immediately. Fortunately I found out I received it and was able to call them and stop the process.
