Editorial Reviews

VHS 1: In the first part of the program, A.M. Pilates Mat Workout with Pilates master Jillian Hessel (running time: 25 MIN), you wake up and start your day with the gifts of energy and balance. This 25-minute, low-impact mat workout, designed to be performed first thing in the morning, is divided into three separate sections: Breathing: Start with seated warm-up exercises on a chair to align your body rhythm with your breath. Conditioning: Follow through with a series of mat routines to strengthen abs, buttocks, legs, and the "powerhouse" - the back and abdominal muscles forming the vital core of the body's strength and its center of gravity. Centering: Conclude with standing exercises to integrate the floorwork into good vertical alignment and healthy posture; VH2: P.M. Pilates (running time: 29:11), an evening workout taught by certified instructor Ana Cabán. This program, which is designed to unwind tense muscles and soothe the nervous system, is divided into Warm-up, Mat Work, and Calm-and-Relax sections. If you have a hectic lifestyle (and who doesn't?), yet want to make sure you get a daily dose of healthy, invigorating exercise, then this two-part fitness video is perfect for you.

This review is from: Winsor Pilates 5 VHS Set: Bun & Thigh Sculpting, Ab Sculpting, Accelerated Body Sculpting, Basics Step-By-Step, 20 Minute Workout (VHS Tape)

Exercise is hard work. Pilates is not easy. As long as my remaining VCR holds out, I'll keep trying pilates. I'm still working on the basics. The Bun & Thigh Sculpting, Ab Sculpting, and Accelerated Body-Sculpting will have to wait until I'm in better shape. If you're in good shape and want the Winsor Pilates series cheap, this is the way to go. But as a former couch potato, I feel well past my prime after a workout. It's both good and bad.

I used to do the winsor pilates years ago when they first came out.. I think it was like 2004 or 2005. Doing these tapes was the only time in my life that i ever actually lost weight. I just wished i would have stuck with it back then. These tapes really work. Well i can't speak for all of the tapes.. but the accelerated body sculpting is amazing. But i think i want to interchange all of the other tapes that come in the set. I suggest adding cardio directly after doing the tape. The weight just melted off... and my booty started lifting!! :-)))) I just hope it works for me like it did back then. I also think the reason the weight melted off was because i used to go walking/jogging right after i did the tape.. and the pilates helped my joints so i was able to walk and run a lot longer then i was usually able to. I can't wait for these tapes to come.. so i can get off my big butt.
