5.0 out of 5 stars Made me Like Pilates, July 21, 2007

This review is from: Pilates Bodyband Challenge (DVD)

I bought this dvd at Target & hoped I would like it.... & guess what? I loved it, in fact I bought 5 more to give to friends. It is a very good practise to do at home or on the road. You have the body band to give you resistance & strength & it is just challenging enough to give you a really good workout & hope to improve each time...I think it is one of the best Pilates dvd's around. I bought the Winsor tapes years ago & never got into them. This is very user friendly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Targets a good variety of muscle groups, May 21, 2007

I am so pleased with this DVD !! It does a great job of keeping your body moving and targeting all the muscle groups for the first 30 minute workout. The 6 foot purple, exercise band is included and it has a heavier tension than other bands I've used. It's fabulous !! The bonus workout is also a great little warm-up or warm-down.....A calming background of clean beach with seagulls and water, sets a nice mood....very smoothe and natural. All in all, a very good product for very little money and I've happily added it to my exercise library. I most certainly recommend it !! Here's to your health !!

4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging but doable, January 7, 2007

By 

Customer "Consumer" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pilates Bodyband Challenge (DVD)

30 min + 15 min bonus powerhouse workouts and comes with a 4' long band. All are on the mat. Some are challenging but most of them are do-able. Ana cues very well but she doesn't encourage you by saying "you look beautiful, you look great, smile, auuuuuuuuuu, etc." (if you want to hear those). No shoes.
