DVD Reviews of Pilates for Men
DVD Review: good but long
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't actually bought this DVD yet, nor have I used it. This review is based on a single viewing of a borrowed DVD.
This looks to me like it will augment nicely my fitness regimen. I've been looking for something a bit less intense to work into the mix, and this looks like a really good alternative. I'll probably be buying it and will end up using it during a certain portion of the fitness year. In case you're wondering, my fitness year revolves around the bicycling season, which is my main fitness passion. I have recently worked in some strength-training as well, which I do pretty much year-round, twice a week. So I'm looking to Pilates as an alternative at some points in the year to my current strength-training routines.
I found the exercises in this video to be explained and demonstrated well. The instructor can be a little hard to understand (for us Americans) at times owing to her British accent. I actually got a bit turned off about Pilates after reviewing the book "Pilates for Men," but viewing this DVD has got me interested again in incorporating it into my routine.
The pros of the DVD are listed above. About the only con I might mention is the length of the workout. The workout demonstrated on the DVD is almost exactly 1 hour in length, which is pretty long. Add to that the warm-up, which is 11 minutes in length, and you have a really lengthy workout. So, if you don't have about 1.25 hours to devote to a workout, this one won't be for you.
I should also mention that there's a separate 15 minute segment called the "bonus power section" on the DVD. The routines demonstrated in this segment appear to be a bit more intense than those shown in the regualr, hour-long workout. They don't really explain on the DVD how this segment is to be used. Perhaps if someone is pressed for time and/or just wants a shorter, slightly more intense, workout, one could combine this with the 11 minute warm-up for a workout that would last a little less than .5 hour.
I see that this DVD has gotten some negative reviews. Here's a suggestion for potential buyers that may save you from ending up with a product that doesn't suit your needs. This DVD is available in many public libraries in the U.S. Do yourself a favor and check out the DVD from your local library--or order it through your library's inter-library loan dept., like I did--and review it before buying.
