Movie Reviews of Hit the Spot - Pilates
Movie Review: Great Way To Mix Up A Routine!
Summary: 5 Stars
As an avid runner and weight lifter, I always scoffed at friends who praised Pilates so endlessly. 'Stretching' didn't seem like true exercise! I was wrong! While, I still believe STRONGLY that cardio is totally necessary for ones body, I found that this dvd offered a relaxing, yet challenging workout, that I look forward to doing 3 times a week. I have been running 6 days a week and lifting weights 3 days a week for years. Wanting and needing some kind of change, I took the advice of my personal trainer and began Pilates. --specifically "Hit the Spot Pilates". Now, I run and weight lift 3 days a week and do Pilates 3 days a week. My body looks great and more importantly, I feel fantastic! It's a work out that I look forward to doing!
Having never done them before, I was fairly sloppy the first couple of times, trying to figure out the positions as she was demonstrating them. --she does move fairly quickly without much instruction. A few times of participating and I could transition easily though.

I've been doing Denise Austin's exercise tapes for years and I think this is one of her best. It's challenging, effective, and the setting is gorgeous! Looking at the beautiful scenery makes the work-out even more wonderful! Way to go, Denise!Movie Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars
The description of the DVD lead me to think there were more work out segments than there really are. For your core there are three segments, each harder than the next. The beginning level is nice because Denise really explains how to do the moves correctly which is helpful when the moves get harder. The thighs and buns segments are great, I felt it the next day. The first time I worked out to the DVD I thought some of her moves weren't that challenging but then my husband pointed out I was doing them incorrectly. When I did them the right way they were much harder. I really like that you can choose to listen to her explanation or just the music. After listening to her once or twice you'll probably get tired of her voice. She is encouraging though. All in all I like this DVD because it's not too easy that I get bored and it's not too hard that I get discouraged. I really like the 10 minute segments I can choose from and make my own workout program. Movie Review: Good DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Have to say - this is a good DVD. It is my second DVD that I have purchased on Pilates and this is by far a better work out thean the other one I have. The exercises are clear and quick moving. You can really feel the 'burn'! There is a good selection of different exercises and I have to say that, most importantly of all, I feel it is working. Denise Austin herself can be a touch painful to listen to over and over again but there are options where you can mute her! So, presumably she realises that she sounds painful herself! Overall, I would really recommend this DVD to anyone wishing to pursue Pilates at home on their own schedule. I wouldn't say that this is a DVD for absolute beginners since some of the exercises are quite tough and since it is fast moving it may be hard to really get the benefit if you are the whole time trying to work out which leg goes where.

Denise Autin is my favorite exercise instuctor and her videos are easy to follow and very helpful. "Hit The Spot" covered everything that most of us women have problems with. I recommend this highly.
