Movie Reviews of Classical Pilates Technique: The Complete Magic Circle Mat Series (Basic; Intermediate; Advanced) & Reformer Mat Workout (Super Advanced)

Movie Review: Pacing too fast / insufficient instruction
Summary: 2 Stars

The intermediate routine in this DVD presents the exercises included in a studio mat class using a magic circle. As someone who takes studio classes 3 times a week, I was familiar with the routine. Nonetheless, I found the pacing too fast with insufficient time allowed to transition from one exercise to the next. (The DVD assumes that you can transition immediately from one move to the next.) Also, I thought that the audio guidance was insufficient. For example, for the single leg circles exercise, the instructor does not tell you when to change legs. If you are doing the exercise, you are on your back and you can't look to see when the demonstrator changes legs. If someone who has been taking classes for about 3 years finds it difficult to keep pace, I think this DVD would be unmanageable for a beginner.

Summary of Classical Pilates Technique: The Complete Magic Circle Mat Series (Basic; Intermediate; Advanced) & Reformer Mat Workout (Super Advanced)

Classical Pilates technique videos feature two of the most renowned Pilates professionals in the world, master instructor Bob Liekens and commentator Alycea Ungaro, who uphold the tradition and high ideals of Joseph Pilates original New York City Studio, which began during the 1920s. Classical Pilates shows good fundamentals of using the magic circle, and then demonstrates a solid beginning workout. After that, they take you into a realm where only the most highly trained classical instructors can demonstrate effectively: a beautiful intermediate level and an advanced level that is superbly executed. As if all of these workouts were not enough, there is also the Reformer Mat workout. This workout is a sight to behold. Winner of the COMMUNICATOR AWARDS- 2003 AWARD OF DISTINCTION As a winner of this award Classical Pilates Inc. joins an exclusive list of video professionals who are recognized as the best within the industry.
