Movie Reviews of Pilates for Every BodyMovie Review: Really is for every body! Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this DVD to anyone and everyone, no matter what your age or fitness level is. I used to be a workout maniac for a few years, but my busy college lifestyle kept me from working out and eating healthy, causing me to pack on a few pounds. A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to do something about it, and I started off with this DVD--and I am SO glad I did. I haven't shed much weight, but I definitely feel so much better about my body. I have more energy the days that I do pilates (3-4 times a week), and what I'm most proud of is that my abs have gone in considerably since starting this workout. Granted, bringing in those abs also requires that you eat less and healthier, but pilates has definitely helped tone them up.
What I really love about this DVD (and Denise Austin in general) is that she's so perky and encouraging. Some people don't like this and find her rather annoying, but I think you should just take her super-positive attitude as a caring one. Whether or not she really does, I don't know...but I like to think that she does, and it helps me get through the entire workout when I don't really want to. :) While I said earlier that I didn't lose much weight from it, it's still a fantastic workout that DOES get you to sweat quite a bit, and by the end of it all, you're quite glad that it's time to stretch.
If you're a beginner who wants to lose weight, do some over all toning, or just be more fit overall, this DVD is perfect. I'll say this though: We all have different bodies and levels of fitness, and some beginners will find this perfect for themselves, and others might find it a bit difficult. If you do find it a bit hard in the first workout, don't be fazed. You need to do the workout a few more times to get the hang of it (at regular intervals, of course. It won't help to use this DVD once a month) and I am positive that you'll find it easier the 2nd or 3rd time around. Lastly, while I swear by this pilates DVD, I'll be the first to admit that this workout alone will not give you a healthier heart and turn you into a size 0. To get a full, thorough workout to improve your health, you really need to combine this with cardio workouts (like kickboxing, jogging, etc..) and weight lifting. If you're at a level where you can pace yourself and mix around all these workouts, go for it. If not, start off with pilates and slowly work in these other workouts later.
