Movie Reviews of Abs Pilates Workout
Movie Review: Sequence Matters
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried doing Pilates years before on a cruise ship and found it painful and perplexing. How anyone could do a sit-up with no support seemed impossible. Ana Caban's simple instruction of "pull your navel toward your spine," sets up a great workout in this video. I was able to do the exercises. At first grunting and pulling at my legs and now with some amount of control. The sequence of exercises builds on itself and after about a week I saw results.
The video starts with the easier to do exercises, the hundred, then curling up, and continues with more challenging skills. The tempo of the exercises seemed fast at first but after about two months of doing this routine regularly the speed seems just right, and the momentum from one routine to another is maintained.
This is a well thought out exercise plan for building abdominal and leg strength. Recommended by an old, now not as fat guy.
Movie Review: Lots of Ab Crunching Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoy this DVD. I keep hoping that Ana Caban will make an Advanced Pilates DVD and this is close. The focus here is on ABS for sure and it is a routine that can get some heat going.
I am an Ana Caban fan. She has a sense of humor, good imagery and a pleasant voice. There is a fun combination on this DVD that I hadn't seen before. I enjoy mixing this DVD in with other general Pilates routines for a little extra AB workout.
If you haven't done any Pilates, you probably shouldn't undertake this DVD. All Pilates targets the Abs--but this one even more, so if you're new to Pilates try her Beginner or Intermediate DVD first. Really. Form is so important. You don't want to hurt your back trying to get a flat tummy.
All I could ask is that this routine had gone on longer!
Movie Review: like corey everson, you'll be!
Summary: 5 Stars
this is an advanced abs workout. you need to know the pilates form to execute the movements correctly, keeping the point of control in the abdominal muscles, rather than in the back, sides, or legs. but if you know the form and can keep your stomach in while executing challenging movements, then you will get an excellent workout. the actual exercise portion of the video is about 20 minutes. out of 25, this is good, because other videos take up time with pointless, nonproductive talking or pauses. in fact, that's what i love most about this video. she is very efficient with the instruction, so you can keep moving throughout. i bought this one at the same time as the cardio pilates, about 3 months ago, and doing it at least 3x a week, i am still not bored, nor have i outgrown it. it is great. buy it. buy it i say!Movie Review: Gets The Abs
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been doing Pilates about a year and a half or so, so I am not quite sure exactly what level I am, but have been practicing pretty consistently and getting better at it. I really like Ana's DVDs so I wanted to try this one. Even though it is challenging it is very worthwhile to do and OI am able to do alot of it.
There are some harder variations on some Pilates moves that target your abs alot and you feel the moves. The modifications for some of the movements are a big help. If you have done some Pilates and are feeling comfortable with it, this DVD is very worthwhile for the Ab work. If not get one or two of Ana's other DVDs before you try this one of hers.
Movie Review: Fabulous narration, easy to follow.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been taking pilates on and off for about a year. I always feel the most challenge during the abdominal focused exercises. This DVD is perfect for that. It is continuously challenging your abs, and you can really feel the burn! Which means your working the deepest layers of the ab muscles. Ana Caban narrates this DVD from 3rd person, so rather than wasting time during the exercises looking at the TV to see if I'm doing it right, I can just listen and pay more attention to performing the exercises more efficiently. The scenery is great, there's no annoying chit-chatting, and modification is always an option. Did I mention the results are incredibly fast? GREAT DVD!
