Movie Reviews of The New Method Pilates: Precision Toning and Sculpting
Movie Review: Even My husband loves this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been a certified fitness instructor for nearly 20 years, I had taught everything from step aerobics,low impact, aqua, toning, sculpting, personal training on all variations of gym equipment and free weights.
I had never learned anything about Pilates and Yoga.
I injured my quad years ago and had to stop teaching. I've been through rehabilitation, nothing helped. I was dealing with constant pain. My work outs were limited to the eliptical machine and trying to work my lower body was excruciating. I had lost considerable amounts of fitness and strength.
I saw the info mercial for another Pilates system that intriqued me. I wanted to learn Pilates and hoped it would allow me to continue to work out without aggrevating my injury.
The infomercial discs, while great, were just too 'fast paced' for a novice. I found the Precision Toning DVD and began with the Toning Essentials portion. This portion, really instructs on Pilates basics. Jennifer Kries, is a wonderful,straight- forward instructor. I like the non-fussiness of this dvd. I like that it's not 'dated' looking, even though it's several years old. I had no idea. If you've ever worked out to 80's videos, they feel dated in the music and production and styles. I find that distracting.
I stayed with Toning Essentials for weeks but gradually moved on to the Precision Toning chapters. This workout is very concentrated and it's not easy. Jennifer keeps you focused on your form and keeps a pace that allows you to concentrate to make each rep count.
I am rotating into my workouts now, the Jennifer Kries Targeted Toning DVD workouts, but am remaining loyal to this DVD as my core workout. I have seen vast improvement in my injury. I own other popular pilates burn type programs and those use a bit more speed in the workout. I actually prefer doing the pilates at the pace Jennifer teaches.
Perhaps as I become more seasoned, I'll step up the pace.
Maybe not, though. I'm seeing great results in my body shape, fitness level and flexibility is better than it has been in my entire career in fitness.
My husband is also using it with great results. He had also been a gym rat for 20 years, yet he has ZERO flexibility. This dvd really challanges different fitness levels. Day by day, he is seeing excellent improvements in his flexibility and core strength.
There is another section of the DVD called Precision Sculpting which uses light weights. It's excellent and again, divided into chapters so it's easy to plan your workouts, further your fitness goals with this DVD.
This dvd will give you results if you are interested in Pilates, you will not be dissappointed. I have bought this dvd for my parents and they also love it.
