| If you are looking to learn pilates from scratch and you can't meet w/ a teacher, this DVD is wonderful. Its main goal is to teach perfect BASIC form and strengthen core muscles. Though I wasn't very experienced, I had been taking Pilates sporadically for a few months and was used to a much more rigorous class, so some of the routines were not quite challenging enough. BUT I have learned better form w/ this DVD, which is exactly what I needed. The workouts are broken into 2 main sections (very beginner and intermediate beginner) and each main section is broken down into several workouts, each targeting different body parts for different times. (arms/abs, 15 min...full wkout, 35 min...legs/arms, 15 min...) If you're just starting out, get yourself a mat and give this a try! |
