Pilates For Beginners [DVD]

Good to keep you active and improve your physical and mental confidence. Good value for money no complaints what so ever.

Good dvd for beginners (well for this one anyway). Consists of an introduction slot if you need it then four work-outs – 2 of ten minutes and 2 of twenty minutes, so you can mix and match as you like.The instruction is clear and relaxed. You just get the instructor in a studio taking you through the routines in a calm and encouraging way with some unobtrusive music in the background; there’s none of the shouty classes or artistic camera angles and montage shots that spoil some exercise dvds. It’s as if you’ve got your own personal instructor in the room with you.Only slight downside is it is difficult to watch the tv whilst you’re on the floor doing the exercises, so suggest you watch them through a couple of times to get familiar with the moves.

Great learning aid . I have been learning pilates from DVD s for many years and none come close to the guidance from Lynne Robinson . Her style and approach is calm and inclusive , great instruction. I think this is the best dvd for my daughter, who wants to learn Pilates .

Great beginners guide to Pilates! I really felt it work my core in particular. It was tough but manageable and I really liked the woman guiding you through the exercises very upbeat and reminding you of mistakes you could posssibly make like tending shoulders etc. Will be looking for more dvds like this when this one isn't any good for me anymore. Well worth every penny and arrived very fast. Only one tiny issue where halfway through the footage there is a small section where the instructors mouth is moving but I cannot hear what she is saying but it's short lived and didn't cause me to miss out on what the exercise was so it's no big deal.

It's a bit heavy going for absolute beginners especially if you have a bad back which was the reason I bought it. It is probably better if you've already done a bit of pilates in the past.

I found this DVD very good as someone who has done a few pilates classes in the past. The main workouts give good instruction on exercises but you should watch the preparatory tutorial as more detail is given here on the basics which is only glossed over in the workouts.

Movements are not, in my opinion, clearly explained, and for a beginner are given too quickly to enable full understanding of what you need to do.

Quite easy to understand moves & enough to help with mobility & pain issues
