I chose this video to start getting back in shape after having a c-section. Even just 10 weeks after having a c-section, I found this video to not be challenging enough to provide a real workout (for reference, I am moderately athletic, and have taken Pilates classes before). The video spends a ridiculous amount of time telling you how to breathe; I think that if they removed all of the breathing instructions (e.g., CONSTANT reminders to inhale/exhale…) the video would be about a third of its original length. With a newborn, I don’t have much free time to exercise, so I will definitely turn to a more challenging video.

I broke a disk in my back 1/09 (L5S1) and then re-injured what was left from a bad cough. This has been the only Pilates DVD that has really given me pain relief. I’ve tried Crunch Fitness pilates, 10 minute pilates and they were either extremely slow, boring or did not remind me to keep my lower back in the right spot. Purchased as a twin pack at Target…..well worth it.

Not as challening on the abs as her ab workout video, but this is a great DVD. There is an “express” 25min workout as well as a full-length 45min workout. Both really challenge your flexibility and DEFINITELY work your core as a whole, rather than focusing just on your abs. I found that this workout really pushed my legs and back in wonderful ways. Great!

Her cueing is right on and her tone is motivating but not annoying. You will feel this if done properly.

This DVD is pretty easy to follow. The first time I tried it, I had to use the pause button to keep up with her, but after just a few times, I’m right on track with her. Although I find this work out challenging, I also find it relaxing because it forces me to increase my oxygen intake. Ana cues me exactly when to breathe, and I find that very helpful.
