DVD Reviews of Element: Slim & Tone Pilates
DVD Review: Uneven workout
Summary: 2 Stars
I consider myself at a medium level of fitness and I felt like a I got the bare minimum workout with a very modest sweat factor.
The instructor is non annoying but - as others have noted - I really could have used a consistent count throughout so I didn't have to keep trying to watch the tv the whole time for an even number of repetitions on each side.
The exercises without the "reformer" - I'm not that familiar with this equipment but - were pretty useless for me. The instructor notes on some moves that they can optionally be done with light weights but unless you are at the physical therapy level (in my mind meaning you can barely lift your arms or manage the range of motion and are trying to recover from something) no amount of tightening and resistance could make the move worthwhile without weights. That said, some of the moves are at rather awkward angles for serious weights so - again as noted by the instructor - we're talking small 2 lbs or something maximum.
So for all those times I started sweating because there were some tough moves, there were too many chunks of time that I found almost useless.
All in all, not a keeper for me.
Description of Element: Slim & Tone Pilates
Pilates is ideal for creating strong healthy bodies that are slim, flexible, and lean. Filmed on a beautiful location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this dynamic workout includes both standard mat exercises and apparatus mat exercises. The apparatus exercises, which are usually done in a Pilates studio on a reformer, enhance the routine and give you a taste of the studio experience in your own home?without purchasing any expensive equipment. This specially designed combination of the two types of Pilates provides you with a very complete workout that will slim, tone, and firm your whole body.About the Instructor: Kara Wily has taught the Pilates method for over 15 years. Formerly a professional dancer, Kara was trained as a teacher by Joseph Pilates? own protégée, Romana Kryzanowska. Pilates changed Kara?s body and her life. She went on to direct the Pilates Program at the Performing Arts School in Vienna. Now, as owner of the Kara Wily Pilates Studio (www.karawilypilates.com ) in Los Angeles, her list of clientele includes famed actors, television personalities, models, and producers.
