About this product

Product Information

The makers of the 'Dummy' instructional books and videos have struck again, this time with a beginner's guide to Pilates. The gist of the Pilates workout is to engage what is known as the powerhouse (the stomach and other core muscles of the body) to gain strength and, in the process, shed extra pounds. A specific method of breathing (through the nose only) is also employed during key moments of the movements. The method of building strength that was first developed by German athlete Joseph Pilates has become a close second to yoga in popularity. Pilates originally invented spring tension machines that use straps for the feet and supports for the back. This 'Pilates For Dummies' program provides mat work, or moves that can be executed on the floor. This makes for an easy, at-home introduction to an exercise regime that is said to create the long, lean dancer's body.

  • Great especially for those who find it difficult to get motivated

    I'm not good at being motivated, but I've had this DVD for years and always enjoy the workout, just enough to feel it but not too much that I don't want to do it again. I lost my original DVD so I bought this to replace it.

  • Fun even for bad back sufferers

    I turn 50 in January and have a slipped disc. My physiotherapist suggested I do pilates to help strengthen my back. This dvd is well explained by the instructor, on screen hints/reminders and a voice over; and in a way that you don't feel you are being nagged! and you are at the end of the workout before you know it. I (amazingly!!) have seen results after just a couple of weeks doing it most days, my back feels stronger and I have started to get some definition already! I really enjoy this workout!!!!
