Pilates Band Workout (DVD)

Advantages: A flexible excersize workout
Disadvantages: You need a big enough floor space to really stretch out in

...Pilates is an excersize scheme that uses gentle movement and stretching to tone the body throughout. The muscles on the inside are particularly targeted. Benefits of following a Pilates regime are a better posture, toned and streamlined muscles, better flexibility, a better sex life YIPEEEEE! (this is because you work certain muscles around that area) and all round better health. This DVD offers three 25 minute workouts that are equally balanced workouts in their own right. I like the flexibility of this DVD because you can combine two workouts to create a 50 minute excersize workout if you happen to have a bit more time on your hands.

Advantages: Makes you more toned and is very relaxing
Disadvantages: Doesnt last very long.

...When i first brought this fitness dvd i wasnt sure if it was any good or not. i had read some good reviews on amazon but there were also a few bad reviews. i jhave to say those bad reviews were wrong because this fitness dvd is one of my favourie fitness dvds.

Disadvantages: Some may find excersizes too easy and not enough to do

...different variations to every exercise, it is suitable for all with any level of fitness. The instructor in the dvd isn't annoying or patronising. The music is simplistic and relaxing but some might find it cheesey. I noticed the woman in this dvd is excersing on a thin mat on top of a hard floor. I have hard wood floors but did not find I could do the exercises comfortably with my gym mat on the floor. We ended up buying a rug as the mat on the floor does not give enough support and the thick good exercise mats are extremely expensive. After the workout I felt great and wanted to do more. After a period of time I mainly noticed the difference in my legs. I am only short anyway but they had a lengthened appearance. Also very defined without being bulky! Pilates is also a great exercise to get amazing abs! After my first child... Read review
