VHS Movie Reviews of Pilates Beginning Mat Workout

Movie Review: Perfect for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

I think Pilates - Beginning Mat Workout is perfect for beginners because you can follow the woman who is on the DVD with Ana and do the exercises at a simpler level. I have never done pilates before, but I was able to follow pretty well, probably not as fast at first. I did not worry too much about doing the exact number of reps that she did. Over time I have seen myself improve and I am able to do some of the things that I couldn't do initially and I can keep up on most exercises. I like the fact that there is room for growth and I can use the same DVD to continue growing. Eventually I will follow Ana. Pilates has improved my posture and my flexibility.

Summary of Pilates Beginning Mat Workout

Beginning Mat Workout focuses on strengthening the "powerhouse" - the muscles in the center of the body that are instrumental to creating and maintaining good posture and alignment.
"Remember what Joseph Pilates said," instructor Ana Caban says. "'You will feel better in 10 sessions, look better in 20 sessions, and have a completely new body in 30 sessions.'" Pilates has become very popular and for good reason. By working the core muscles (the abdominal and back muscles in the center of your body) you improve strength and posture and develop a lean, long line.

Certified Pilates instructor Ana Caban is a splendid teacher. First she demonstrates alignment and technique for 10 minutes, explaining the cue words you will hear and how to do the basics, emphasizing how to use the core muscles to strengthen the abdominals and back throughout the workout. Then she introduces a challenging 20-minute series of Pilates moves, instructing clearly, demonstrating beautifully, and continuing to advise you about technique, breathing, and form.

Even though this is a beginning Pilates workout, Pilates is never easy, so these moves will feel extremely difficult if you're new to this kind of exercise. For example, you learn to hold your abs tight whatever move you're doing, and you move only the muscles you're working at the moment, using your stabilizing muscles to hold the rest of the body still (much harder than it sounds!). Another participant demonstrates modifications throughout in case Caban's moves are too difficult or your muscles fatigue. If you've been wanting to explore Pilates and you're willing to put in the effort and concentration, this video gets our top rating. --Joan Price
