I consider myself in pretty good shape but this tape gave me a run for my money, which is exactly what I wanted. It is broken down into five parts: modified basic exercises, basic, intermediate, advanced, and super advanced workouts. I started at the beginning at the modified basic exercises which were done slowly with attention to technique. I then moved through to the advanced workout. The workouts are moderated throughout by master instructor Bob Liekens and he tells you how to position yourself and how to breathe step by step. At each part, they repeat the previous exercises but show you a harder way to do them. By the time I got to the advanced workout(which is quite brisk!), I was sweating and didn't have the strength or the stomach (literally) to do the super advanced. It was a hardcore(pun intended) workout and that is what I was looking for. I'm very happy with this purchase.Read full review
I am a Pilates instructor trained in the classical method and have bought quite a few copies of this DVD as gifts to my clients to keep them motivated. It is excellent and economical because it contains the basic, intermediate and advanced routines, and these routines address all your fitness needs. However, Pilates is a system demanding precision and concentration on the part of the exerciser. I recommend that everybody interested in learning it to invest in a few private sessions with an in instructor trained in the authentic (classical) method.
production quality is fair but useful in getting the information accross...............................................
This DVD is perfect because it is how pilates should be done. It is divided into segments so you can add exercises as you become more experienced and learn to keep up. If you want frilly, pilates-inspired moves, this DVD is not for you. This is for someone that just really wants to learn the pilates routine.
good to work with........ ............................dsa ................................ .........................:D
