4.0 out of 5 stars
great for beginners, maybe not for advanced,
By
This review is from: Pilates Deck (Kindle Edition)
I'm a beginner and I think pilates deck is really good. I have friends who are far more advanced with pilates and they weren't so impressed.
I like to mix in the exercises from The 5-Second Flat Belly Secret - Lose 2-3 Inches from Your Belly in Less Than 1 Month with these pilates positions to get more focused work on losing my belly and that's been working out superb.

For learners, this slow-as-mud method is not the solution.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Pilates Deck (Cards)
Pros: Nice box, looks neat, clean, easy to stack. Few exercise accessories needed.
Cons: Wordy, & it's in a tiny font size. Many/All strange-new exercises makes it difficult to follow along & get your exercise session done. I spent 5 minutes to learn and do each exercise, and you never really master each exercise. You try and try, but either your breathing isn't right, or you'll find something to make you stop & read each card each time you do that card's exercise. This is not the way to keep your body warm and your heart rate up during an exercise session. Amazon sent me a box that had its bar code striked out with a magic marker. Usually that is done at bookstores if the product was returned.

Great for travel,
By
This review is from: The Pilates Deck (Cards)
I originally bought these in an airport because I thought they would be great for travel and this has turned out to be the case. Size-wise these fit perfectly in a carry on bag and make for a great workout when combined with a mat from a hotel gym. What I like about this deck of cards is that not only do they represent a range of exercises, but there is also a guide that helps you turn these cards into a complete workout tailored to your level (beginner vs. advanced) and goals. This makes it easy to make sure you are getting a complete workout that is at the appropriate level. I've really enjoyed these so far and find them convenient to bring on the road or down to the gym.
