User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars having fun with pilates
When I received the Pilates tape, I was a little skeptical about starting, I was sure it would be too hard to follow - I am 69yrs old! But to my delight, with the exception of some of the back stretches, I found it to be quite easy and fun, and very easy to follow. I’d recommend theis tape to anyone who wants to get fit quickly, and has a few minutes to spend on themselves.
2 Stars Not for me
I ordered this video because of all the nice comments it received. I did not like it. There is too much talking between the workouts and I got bored really quickly. This may be good for someone who need lots and lots of instruction, but it’s not for me.
5 Stars Another good one
I have other DVDs that feature Maggie so when I was looking for a Pilates DVD this one stood out for me. She’s really good at teaching newbies. Pleasant personality, encouraging and good instruction. This DVD also has lots of routines on it so you aren’t just doing the same 2 or 3 over an over.
5 Stars Good for Beginners
Like it says, this is a beginner DVD. I have a few different Pilates DVDs and they are all a little different as far as what order the instructor does the series of exercises and how the way they break down the options for different workouts. Being new I just wanted to learn the moves and have more then one workout to choose from. This DVD has been good for learning and I like the breakdown of the workouts. I like having choices other then a full half hour or longer routine.
5 Stars Great
I am new to Pilates and picked this up to learn how to do it properly.
A good selection for me, with one section that goes through and teaches well on how to do Pilates including a longer routine that is still geared to making it a bit easier, though you get a good workout.
The second section dials things up a bit and real good workouts. The nice thing about Pilates is when you follow along you get a good workout without having to do many, many repetitions and a good workout can be had in a short time. Happy I added Pilates to my workouts.
