Movie Reviews of Element: Pilates Weight Loss for Beginners
Movie Review: Wonderful Pilates video Summary: 5 Stars
I started to get really into Pilates after giving my birth to my daughter 10 mths ago. Before that I'd attended classes here and there w. one teacher at my gym but didn't really "get it". Then I tried it w/ another teacher & it just clicked for me and it seriously changed my body and my life. B/c it's not always easy for me to get to the gym my teacher recommended I get some videos for home as well. I got Ana Caban's Imtermediate video by Gaiam at my teacher's recommendation but never got that into it. Then I received an invitation to attend a free class w/ Brooke Siler & it was wonderful(I met her afterwards as well and she's lovely). Anyway they gave us this video as a gift and I use it all the time, although I am no longer a "beginner", I like it so much better than the Ana Caban one. I'm saying all this b/c I have found w/ Pilates that it really makes a big difference who your teacher is, whether it's in person or a class. I would recommend this to beginners as well as people who have been doing it for awhile. I admit in some parts I do find myself a little bored(like practicing head lifts) but others like the hundreds are challenging I think for any level. So it has both. & if some parts are too difficult for you right away, you can work your way up to them. I am going to try some different videos but so far this is my favorite and I have been suggesting it to friends. I hope she comes out w/ another one soon!
