5.0 out of 5 stars If you want a challenge, July 14, 2005

This review is from: STOTT PILATES: Strong & Streamlined (DVD)

Honestly, I have to give her 4 1/2 stars for not smiling, but I am SO thankful for this level of challenge! If you want a challenge this is it. I'm a personal trainer and this is a favorite of my collection. Did I mention challenging? If you are interested in working your way up to this advanced level, here are my suggestions:
Yoga Plus (by denise Austin)EASY
Intermediate Pilates (by Gaiam)NOT TO HARD
On the Ball (Natural Journeys) FUN!
Pilate for Every Body (by Denise) more challengeing
Then, this DVD
Hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true "advanced" level DVD, September 27, 2005

By 

Cheryl (RI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: STOTT PILATES: Strong & Streamlined (DVD)

I have been searching for a truly advanced DVD for a long time...
While I am fairly new to Pilates, I am not new to exercising nor to exercise DVD purchasing. I have gotten used to many DVDs preaching that they are advanced level and being sorely disappointed. So, while I am more of an intermediate level in Pilates, I purchased the advanced one, expecting a watered down version of an intermediate level course. I have been pleasantly surprised by this challenging DVD which provides an excellent work-out and will challenge me for a while. I will definitely purchase more DVDs from this series. My recommendation for viewers is if you are new/intermediate, purchase the appropriate level. The advanced level rightly skips excessive instruction and proceeds directly into the moves.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good effort, but missing a few moves., October 10, 2005

This review is from: STOTT PILATES: Strong & Streamlined (DVD)

Moira Stott does things her own way. She does not do Pilates matwork in the traditional order. She also adds in a few variations. The pace is slow and deliberate. There is a long prep period. It can sometimes get in the way of the workout because it takes 15 minutes before you begin the workout proper, but the exercises are well instructed and illustrated. She also leaves out a few exercises in the advanced Pilates repetoire such as the leg pull back, the boomerang, the high scissors and the high bicycle. That surprised me because this is a Level 4 workout which is supposed to be very advanced. She apparently feels that they are beyond the abilities of most home exercisers. However, the video does include an excellent side bend/twist sequence. All in all a good effort, but it is missing a few moves. You do need a lot of upper body and core strength to complete this workout. It is definitely not for beginners. Strong intermediates should be able to do most, if not all, of it.
