5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT TOTAL BODY WORKOUT, May 26, 2001

This review is from: Breakthru: Core Conditioning Pilates [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is probably my new favorite Pilates tape. Clocking in at 40 min. this works you out from tip to toe. Previous Pilates experience is recommended. Most tapes work the core and lower body, with this you get some challenging upper body work. There are some push-up variations as well as a bridge exercise where you are up on your elbows and alternate leg lifts. It works everything. Also, there's an exercise on your back, where you rotate an imaginary ball with your legs. That really works the abs. The instructors are very informative and give explicit direction "imagine your spine in a C shape", "pull the navel back to the spine". At this price you get more than your money's worth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Non-intimidating Pilates Workout, February 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Breakthru: Core-Conditioning Pilates (DVD)

I discovered pilates not long ago and was impressed by Michelle Dozois who was the instructor in "Pilates for Dummies". When I saw that she was one of the instructors in this new DVD I ordered it without hesitation. I was not disappointed. The poses are simple but effective, and definitely non-intimidating. The instructions are clear. The pace is just right. You don't have to be a super-fit person to do these exercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Instructional Video for Pilates Core-Conditioning, November 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Breakthru: Core Conditioning Pilates [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you are new to Pilates, this is a great place to start! Michelle and Tracy thoroughly explain each exercise in a relaxed and unintimidating manner. Being new to exercise, and not being very flexible or coordinated, I am looking forward to a more leaner, toned, and conditioned body. While this video is longer than many of the Pilates videos (45 min.), it is well worth it! This is the ultimate pre-pilates video for strengthening the core muscles and conditioning and stretching the whole body. Michelle also does the "Pilates for Dummies" video which will probably be the next video I add to my collection!
