Movie Reviews of Pilates for Beginners
Movie Review: Good explanations for the beginner, it'll make you work!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm definitely a beginner at Pilates, or any type of "mat" workout.
I like that this workout does not require any equipment (if you have a carpeted floor, you don't even need a mat). The explanations are understandable if you haven't done this before. The work out is challenging and while I can't do all the reps of some of the exercises yet, there is nothing that is totally impossible for a somewhat inflexible 50-year-old to do. I know it's really toning up my middle -- the waistband on my jeans is not as tight as it used to be.
I bought four DVDs at about the same time, and do different routines on different days, typically some each of the stretching, core/Pilates and knees about 5 days a week. It's been a month, and there is a difference in how I feel . . . and my husband says also in how I look and move. I'd recommend any or all of the four I got -- they each have a little different workout:
Pilates for Beginners
AM/PM Stretch for Health
Jeanette Jenkins: Hollywood Trainer 21 Day Core and Stretch Workout
Strong Knees
