DVD Reviews of Pilates Complete for Inflexible People
DVD Review: The video doesn't play in the player... ZILCH...
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't view it at all... Total waste of money. Tried it in numerous players and it still won't work. DVD Review: Wooden, unchallenging and uninspiring
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this DVD because of the great reviews, and now as I reread them, I'm trying to figure out what they thought was so great about it. The instructor who demonstrates the Pilates is solemn and wooden, as is the woman who does the voice over. "Pilates Complete for Inflexible People" doesn't seem to have one thing, specifically, to do with inflexibility. I'm 61, active, and in great shape (size 6 jeans), but I'm getting some stiffness in my calves and thighs, as well as my shoulders, so I was really eager to get this one, but when I tried the very first set, I was already wondering what this had to do with specialized moves for inflexibility because they're some the very same moves I was doing at the fitness center where I exercised with people from 18 to 80, only much more repetitive, and full of incorrect transitions that could actually do harm if you follow them through.
Always the optimist, I thought, "Well, there's a lot more to this DVD than that little bit." So, I began opening other segments, and they're all the same moves. I do know that there are hundreds of Pilate moves and positions, but this instructor seems to have gotten hold of 3 or 4 moves and made a career on them. They seemed more aimed at my stomach muscles than areas of inflexibility. I wanted a routine that would stretch and limber up my whole body,one that might be a little challenging in the beginning but that I could work up to, but that's not what I've got, and the whole setting with its dark, forboding background would have been depressing if I'd stuck with it much longer. There is nothing challenging, helpful, or inspiring about this DVD, and I would return it, but I got it here at Amazon.com when it was $9.99 w/ free shipping (I luv Amazon.com), and it would cost almost that much to return.
Other exercise DVDs that I have and would recommend are "Ageless Mobility"; "The Anti-Aging Method"; and Louise Solomon's "Yoga & Pilates". I'll keep looking for more; I've decided I enjoy working out in the privacy of my own home, rather than going to the fitness center for classes, and I want a library of at least half a dozen DVDs to alternate.
DVD Review: Nice intro to Pilates
Summary: 4 Stars
good instructions and easy to follow DVD. As I am new to pilates, I found this DVD a good introduction. This DVD is well titled, I was able to keep up and do the different positions. DVD Review: Not a favorite
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased a "Inflexible People" Yoga DVD which uses the same instructor. I liked the Yoga DVD for it's ocean background, pleasant instructor and modified routines. I assumed this DVD would be similar but I was dismayed to find the routines demonstrated in a dark room that is reminiscent of a funeral home--talk about a dread factor! I also thought the instructor look bored and not enjoying herself. How can you be excited about working out if the instructor isn't? The instructions are good and the modifications doable so I give it 3 stars but I don't see this DVD getting me motivated to get up in the morning to learn Pilates.DVD Review: Best Instruction Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This workout has the best instructions I have ever seen for a beginning lesson. Maggie tells you how to breathe and when to move on each repetition, which is perfect for me as my coordination is not that great. She is very slow and controlled and modifies the moves for people with any injuries or discomfort. I am going to look into her other exercise dvds!
