3.0 out of 5 stars A good workout if you like working with the flex band, July 28, 2004

This is a good pilates workout using the flex band. The instructor is great and easy to follow. However, I prefer the stability ball, the magic circle and mat work to the flex band. The flex band is my least favorite because I find that it really hurts my hands. Also, I found my wrist bending in an awkward position as I try to hold on the flex band and do the exercises. I was careful to hold the band the way the instructor recommended to avoid hurting my wrist but unless you have really strong hands/wrists, there is no way, you can hold on to the bands and do the exercises. Also, I didn't think the exercises were as much fun as the ones in the Pilates for Dummies DVD, Mari Windsor, Classical Pilates, Pilates on the ball etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gentle, yet invigorating, pilates workout!, March 28, 2008

I thought this workout was great. I have done a lot of different Pilates workouts, and I think Stott Pilates is one of the best I've tried. Moira is so thorough in her explanations of the moves, without being overbearing. I find her gentle, calm instructions very soothing & effective. She gives me the impression that I am being coached by a person who always has my best interest in mind, and she adds a giggle here & there, when showing what NOT to do, which helps me enjoy the workout more. She always stresses breathing and proper allignment, and keeping your wrists angled correctly when holding onto the stretch band. I feel challenged, but at the same time she reassures me that we should work at our own individual level. I feel very toned and invigorated with this workout. If I need more resistance, I simply shorten the flex band length. I am somewhere between beginner and intermediate in my pilates experience, and this workout suits me perfectly.

If you like Moira Stott then you'll most likely enjoy this program.

Like many other Stott programs, it's very detailed and a bit on the long side.
But if you have the time to devote to a longer program then this one will
yield many benefits.

Moira thoroughly warms you up before moving into more challenging
exercises,and I would suggest that if an exercise seems too advanced or doesn't feel right
that one could simply skip it and go to the next exercise.

The DVD is chaptered exercise by exercise so it's easy to just press the
forward button and move on to the next exercise without having to wait through
any exercise you decide to pass on.

I did this program again yesterday and I felt like I got a very thorough,
moderately challenging workout.

If you like a very calm and meditative approach to Pilates with great
detail then you'll love this, if you want something that moves super fast
with a perky instructor and loud music then this most definitely will not be
for you.
