Movie Reviews of Hilary Burnett's Pilates Basics
Movie Review: Pilates by Candlelight
Summary: 5 Stars
"Pilates is about fine tuning your whole body and mind..." ~Hilary Burnett
Hilary Burnett's calm teaching style amidst a room of pillows and candles provides a relaxing escape into Pilates. This is a perfect way to be introduced to Pilates because the exercises also have variations which are very helpful when you are first starting to learn Pilates exercises and especially while doing the pull up. Most instructors don't give the modifications and this will be very helpful.
The exercises features on this DVD include:
Breathing exercises while sitting
Breathing exercises while laying on your back
One Hundred
Leg Circles
Rolling Like a Ball
Single Leg Stretch
Double Leg Stretch
Spine Stretch Forward
Side Series - 2 exercises, kicking back and forward - lifting leg to ceiling
Seal
During the breathing exercises, Hilary Burnett accesses your imaginative powers to teach breathing techniques. She also uses visualization in places to enhance the exercises, like describing lifting your leg as moving through water, to emphasize the feeling of resistance.
Not an overly strenuous workout for intermediate and advanced unless you ride a bike for 30 minutes before starting and haven't yet had breakfast. I'd say this is perfect for a relaxing late afternoon or evening workout. Due to the candles and beautiful room, this could also be a "slowly awakening to the day" retreat. All the pillows make this such a cozy workout and I love the mood.
