DVD Reviews of Classical Pilates Technique - The Complete Mat Workout Series English & Spanish (Modified Basic / Basic / Intermediate / Advanced / Super Advanced)
DVD Review: Good but lacking explanations
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a good basic Pilates mat workout, but there are not many instructions or explanations of positions or technique. If you aren't already familiar with Pilates, it could be hard to follow. The set-up to have different workouts for each level is well done, and when the narrator gives instructions it is helpful. Also, it is really convenient because each workout is focused and the intermediate and advanced levels take around 15-20 minutes. Overall, it is a good video and I would recommend it. DVD Review: very disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a BASI certified Pilates instructor and like to do other's workouts at home. I found this video extremely disappointing- there is no warmup or even a suggestion thereof (very bad), the workouts are very short and way too fast-paced. Even if it were used as a cardio pilates workout, it's simply not long enough to get any cardio benefit and doing it so quickly defeats several of the important fundaments of Pilates. Also instructions are very limited, you have no idea when to switch sides. To top it off the scenery is low budget at best and the narrator's accent is irritating and distracting. That may be being too picky but sorry- it's just poor all the way around. I absloutely would swear all those rave reviews came from the producers because I can't possibly see how that many people can be that satisfied with this- don't buy it.DVD Review: Fine but Not Spectacular
Summary: 3 Stars
Though this DVD offers many levels, they are not offered alongside one another making the actual time spent performing the exercise at any given level very short. The background and scenery are uninteresting and uninspiring and the models performing the exercises are certainly quite fit but in no way friendly or encouraging. More importantly, there are no verbal cues during each exercise that relate to posturing or form, so if one were not experienced in pilates, it could be easy to injure onself. So, all in all, this dvd is fine but not spectacular.DVD Review: A Regular Routine for Me
Summary: 5 Stars
I regularly use the DVD Pilates program. It is quick and easy to follow. I worked my way up gradually to the intermediate and advanced programs, depending on how much of a workout I want. People ask me what I do to stay in such great shape. I attribute my core strength, muscle definition, and flexibility primarily to this program. I keeps me injury free and complements my modest running routine. I am a wife, mother of two young children, and work full time. This is much easier than going to the gym or to the Yoga studio. I am grateful I found this DVD. Just 15-20 minutes several days a week and significant results.DVD Review: for pros only
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been taking Pilates classes for about 6 months and keep looking for a good video... careful, interesting, not overly easy or impossibly difficult. This isn't it. I think it is really designed for people who are at an expert level.
Description of Classical Pilates Technique - The Complete Mat Workout Series English & Spanish (Modified Basic / Basic / Intermediate / Advanced / Super Advanced)
Classical Pilates technique videos feature two of the most renowned Pilates professionals in the world, master instructor Bob Liekens and commentator Alycea Ungaro, who uphold the tradition and high ideals of Joseph Pilates original New York City Studio, which began during the 1920s. This DVD serves to preserve the original, classical method in the face of current challenges. Each exercise is performed flawlessly, in real-time, and in correct sequence. If you already have a foundation in the principles of this exercise method, then this is the DVD to buy to further your ability. It's not watered down, slowed down, or commercialized; it's just Pilates the way Joseph Pilates created it.While there's nothing flashy about this DVD, it is an invaluable tool (and the best) for those who are interested in more than the latest fad. Winner of the COMMUNICATOR AWARDS- 2003 AWARD OF DISTINCTION As a winner of this award Classical Pilates Inc. joins an exclusive list of video professionals who are recognized as the best within the industry.Fitness DVDs
