5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars from me!, October 2, 2006

This review is from: Pilates Complete for Inflexible People (DVD)

I am over 50 and about as flexible as a cast iron skillet. I purchased this based on the reviews and am extremely happy that I did. It is excellent.

The DVD is interactive, which means you can choose what you want to do depending on how much time you have - 20 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour. Maggie Rhodes has put together different sequences of exercises and modifies them enough that even us older folks can tackle most of them. In addition, you get Pilates and Yoga at the same time.

Most Yoga and Pilates tapes are geared towards the 20 somethings and most of the ones that I have purchased either end up at my daughter's house or in the trash. This is not to say that they are bad but I am just not as limber as I used to be. With Pilates Complete for Inflexible People at least I can do most of the routines without having to hobble around the next day.

I haven't even done the whole DVD but I have done enough to know that I am ordering another copy.

Until I see a DVD entitled, "Pilates for Fat, Old, Stiff People", I will just do this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive DVD, February 3, 2006

This review is from: Pilates Complete for Inflexible People (DVD)

I had always wanted to try Pilates, but was intimidated by the thought of actually trying some of the exercises that I've seen people doing. I hurt my left knee 3 years ago and have a hard time walking and sitting for any length of time. Well, I had a hard time. I have been using this dvd for 2 months now, and can do all the beginner's exercises, even the ones I thought I couldn't do. I was pleasantly surprised at the enjoyment and sense of well-being that I get from the program. The instructor is laid back, pleasant, and offers helpful hints. You can actually see what she is doing at all times, and she explains things very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Fitness DVD Should Be Like This, November 21, 2005

This review is from: Pilates Complete for Inflexible People (DVD)

I am a guy with tight hamstrings and this one in a short period seems that have opened them up. Pilates is not traditionally a "man" thing for me and most guys I know, but this one really is challening and has helped me open my hamstrings, and I never knew Pilates worked the abs so damn much, or at least in this DVD. Many great features most important the variety in workout times from 10 minutes to 60. No complaints here.
