An excellent DVD which has helped me with back pain and created an awareness of the importance of deep breathing and maintaining correct posture. Liz provides a understandable explanation of the basics of Pilates. In addition, there is an excellent selection of floor and vertical exercises to observe and then follow. In following the clear and concise instructions that Liz gives for these exercises, I am more confident I am doing them correctly.
Watching Janet, Syliva & Derek, people in my age range, doing the exercise with such ease is very encouraging. I also found the interviews to be reassuring and enjoyable.
I have strengthen my core muscles which in turn helps the back pain and maintaining correct posture. The practice of deep breathing is helpful with pain, stress and provides an overall feeling of wellness. In addition to doing regular work sessions, doing deep breathing with a few exercises will alliviate pain experienced after sitting or standing for an extended time. Pilates & deep breathing has changed my life and I look forward to a sequel. Try it!
