Pilates Weight Loss Workout For Dummies (DVD)

This is what I've been after for ages. I've tried other pilates dvd's and they are too slow & dull. She does this dvd all in one take I'm sure - she is very professional & clearly knows what she's on about. Its a more upbeat take on pilates than some I've seen. 40 mins just the right amount of time. She keeps it flowing all the time. You probably wont lose weight on the scales but you'll look & feel slimmer if you stick at it as i did. I don't get bored half way through like most workout dvds & i felt results after a week. So long as you don't mind it being an American lady this will introduce you to pilates the right way without you falling asleep from boredom.

This DVD really is for dummies! It is a simple no nonsense workout which I feel is a good introduction to Pilates. The exercises are clearly shown and the DVD is very easy to follow - they are also tips to make the exercises more challenging. The workout is only 40 mins, an ideal time to work out and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It is idiot proof and fairly basic but teaches the foundation of Pilates.

good intraduction to pilates, wish it was a little longer, only takes about 35 mins to do both sets of exercise so just as your getting into it its finished, but explains everything really well.

I've recently lost a stone in weight just through walking and balancing my input and output so thought I'd try this DVD to increase my activity levels. I never really knew what Pilates was but I have been very impressed. The instructions are clear, the movements are not too difficult (for an able bodied, middle aged person) and even after the first use I felt that my muscles had been used without too much exertion. The whole thng only takes 35 mins (20 mins standing and 15 mins floorwork), so I find it quite easy to squeeze into the day. I can't yet comment on how sucessful the routine has been but I would definitely recommend it for beginners like me!

I bought this dvd to help me get back into shape after having had a baby 8 months ago. This is a really easy to follow routine even for people like me that are terrible at co-ordinating their arms and legs at the same time! haha... I would recommend this dvd to anyone that needs a little motivation like me to stick to something short and simple. I only use it three times a week but find that after only a few weeks i've noticed what a difference it has made. Not only am i more flexible and starting to tone up but i also have alot more energy :-)

Much better than any other Pilates vid that i have, more energy and fluid movements..
All other vids i had have been very long and boring, but this is real good fun


Great stuff!

It's an easy-to-follow fitness program, excellente explanations, perfect for Pilates begginers. It might need some variety, but overall you won't be dissapointed.

This dvd was very easy to follow, it even gave you slightly easier options of particular excercise moves for the complete novice, who like
me have a problem coordinating movement of legs and arms together. The most difficult part of this excercise programme is remembering to breath correctly when excercising. There are helpful hints and tips highlighted at the side of the workout film to help you even further, and the instructor is very helpful in advising you on how to perfect your technique without risk of incurring injury. I found that the running time of 38 minutes was just about the correct amount of time to spend excercising for the complete novice, and that when combined with a healthy eating plan can help with gradual weight loss.

Great DVD!V. Good 4 weightloss, toning! It is for beginners but if you follow it you can notie a diference the next day!

Dont let the title fool you. Eventhough this DVD is 'For Dummies', it certainly puts you through your paces! It consists of two 20 minute sessions one focusing on standing exercises and the second part is the mat exercises.

The exercises start off quickly and be prepared to sweat! The exercises dont look much and feel quite 'girly', but once you get into them and start to feel your thighs and upper arms burning, you know it's working! I highly recommend this DVD for beginners of Pilates and people looking for a new way to work out.

i tried it yet, bought it to use after having a stomach bypass, so can get fit while loosing weight so quick
thanks

Great DVD. Short enough that you don't have to a spend a lot of time doing it. Long enough to get a proper workout and feel the benefit.

I have suffered from back pain for a number of years and this DVD is the first thing (even better than physiotherapy) that has helped my back and has improved the strength of my core area. If my back happens to be sore on a particular day - I just do 35 mins of this DVD - and amazingly enough - my back pain disappears - and I can sit down to enjoy the rest of my evening without a sore back!! Amazing - well worth every penny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this dvd on two recommendations as i needed to find an excercise programme that wasn't too difficult to do after suffering a nasty back injury.It has helped me on my way to a good recovery as i am now re-introducing step to my regime.I enjoy as its easy to follow and is just the right length at 35 minutes.Would recommend for beginners or someone such as my self recovering from injury.

It's easy to understand and follow with the tips and simpler explanation of Pilates terminology.
Overall is a good workout targeting all areas of the body at a slightly faster pace than normal pilates so it feels that you're actually doing something.

no problems with seller...good service...the dvd was as expected.got some tips but have health issues so i wish it was a bit more geared for people with limited abilites but need some form of excercise...cheers

I liked the easiness to follow, I was after something which is not too strenuous on the old joints but good enough to work up a sweat so you can feel it working. Found this in this DVD

Delivered promptly and free, excellent value for money. the dvd is how it was described. would buy from seller again
