DVD Reviews of Pilates for Back and PostureDVD Review: Bottom line? I feel a LOT better, back pain-wise!! p.s. not a video for hard core pilates types. Summary: 4 Stars
I suffer from chronic back pain, particularly soreness and stiffness upon waking, due to disc issues and mild arthritis, all related to a long-ago injury. I have been shocked that this DVD has been great for relieving my pain and giving me greater mobility - way more than the chiropractor I've been seeing - and I've only been using it for four days!
PROS:
- This is a workout anyone can do. I had my 3.5 year old and my mother who is in her 60s on the floor doing the DVD with me. The exercises are simple and easy to follow and not too strenuous save for a few, but with each one, you can go at your own pace and work up to more challenging stretches. I will admit that I had expected to work a lot harder than I did, and therefore did not expect the positive results that I have already experienced. However, it's worth noting that the instructor gives and shows instructions on how to make each exercise more challenging, which was appreciated.
- It's a quick workout. The workout is divided into two sections and also has some additional instructional material. When completing both workout sections (which I would recommend as both serve important purposes) it does not take long at all - maybe a half hour?
CONS:
- I did not like at all the fact that the instructor advises you with each exercise that you can "work up to" a certain number of reps with each exercise. For example she will say "work up to 10" but will only demonstrate five before moving on to the next exercise. I guess you are supposed to pause the DVD if you want to complete the entire set of reps, but that is annoying to have to do.
All in all, I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone seeking relief from their back pain. It's a structured program with both strengthening and stretching work - essential for building a strong defense against the dreaded back pain so many of us suffer.
