From the Artist

Research has shown that people who listen to music during their workout will not only tend to workout more frequently, but will also see better results than those who do not. Each song within The Pilates Music for Life™ Series has been specially created to enhance your workout. Unlike your typical home collection of music, which normally takes you through many different emotions, sometimes sad, happy, too fast or slow, this music series is always uplifting and energetic.

The tempo is the key! You will find that The Uptown Maestros have discovered the perfect tempo to keep your body moving as you do your Pilates routine. After spending numerous hours working very closely with the leaders from different Pilates schools, The Uptown Maestros have identified the tempos that work for everyone. The songs allow you to do your routine on the beat for a more energetic workout or on every other beat for a more relaxing program. Each album will take you through a gradual change in pace to provide a warm up, a continuous workout tempo, and a cool down. It is sure to make your workout most enjoyable!

The Pilates Music For Life™ Series is also perfect for other activities such as: Yoga, Walking, Jogging, Cycling, and Skating. The music can create the perfect atmosphere in Pilates and fitness centers, or spas. This music is so good you will enjoy listening to the albums as an alternative to radio around the house or while driving. Collect all four CD’s Today!

Product Description

RockinBird Records Presents: "Follow The Sun" - Soul The Pilates Music for Life™ Series Performed by The Uptown Maestros

The world’s first Pilates Music Series – A Collection of Original Music

The SOUL Album is all about the mind, body, and soul offering a very hip R&B commercial sound. The music is powerfully inspiring, and sexy. It's guaranteed to move you.

This special music series was specifically designed to create an instant positive environment. The commercial and sophisticated sounds are... Powerful, Inspiring, Moving, and Motivating. The music will take you to a higher level and leave you feeling great about living.

The Uptown Maestros were hired by The Pilates Studio® of Los Angeles to create original music to be used to accompany the exercise program in their newly released Pilates for Pregnancy fitness video, designed and performed by Melinda Bryan. In the process of developing this music, The Uptown Maestros were faced with a unique challenge. There was no recipe to follow. So The Uptown Maestros began extensive research and found that there were several variations in the Pilates method. Some schools presentation of the method is slower with more of a Yoga like feel, while others were energetic and dynamic. One thing was consistent within most of the leading schools, and that was that the Pilates method was more exciting and effective when performed with a rhythm.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not long enough for a full hour of PIlates session, March 22, 2005

This review is from: Pilates Music For Life Series - "Follow The Sun" / Soul (Audio CD)

I have all four of Pilates Music For Life series. My favorite is Ambiance and Pop classics. However, most of the CDs sound like elevator music and they are not long enough for one hour session of Pilates class.

This review is from: Pilates Music For Life Series - "Follow The Sun" / Soul (Audio CD)

This (sexy music) CD, just like the others, is perfect for Pilates and in my opinion Grammy worthy. Seriously motivating,fun, and inspiring. I expecially love the guitar solo in the titled song "Follow The Sun." I find myself hitting the rewind button mostly to hear this track over and over, but I truly enjoy the entire album. I have all four CD's and use them for Pilates and many other things including at night while having a glass of wine with my husband, but I also find them enjoyable just to listen to in general. I hope to hear much more music from The Uptown Maestros in the future.
