I wanted a mellow workout that focuses on the abdominals and lower back, and this one is perfect. Ana Caban is very precise and her instructions are clear. She tells you exactly when to inhale, exhale, flex, extend, etc. She does not rush through the exercises, and she does not do excessive reps. The exercises are pretty much your basic pilates mat workout stuff (100s, teaser, mermaid, etc.) but the soothing music and breath-taking scenery in the backround make it more enjoyable-almost meditative. The dvd includes a 40 minute routine and a 20 minute routine (which is almost identical to the 40 minute workout except a few less exercises). This workout is strictly for toning and flexibility. You do not get a cardio effect from it. But it's a good one to add to your collection to use in conjunction or to alternate with other workouts.Read full review
All the Gaiam videos are well known for thier Beautiful Natural backdrops. Ana does a vioce over for instructions, very clear on when to breathe etc. I dont care for the Las Vegas lounge music at all, Very elevator. I have decided I dont like Ana either. She come across as one of those better than you types- tone in her voice very condecending. That is just my opinion. I will be selling this DVD...
Ana Caban is among the best Pilates instructors out there, and this video proves the case. The workout is a challenge, as the title suggests, but is nevertheless fun to do. Ana's instructions are very clear, assuring that your form is good. I also like the pace of this video, where you go from movement to movement at a fast pace. I recommend this to anyone who is an experienced Pilates practioner.
I bought this DVD because I wasn't able to run due to an ankle injury. I was looking for something that would allow me to workout the other areas of my body without putting strain on my ankle. I was able to do about 90% of the workouts and enjoyed them. I plan to continue to use this DVD from time to time to keep my core in shape even though I am back to running.
I’m good exercise DVD thank you
