Great! 4 out of 5
I really enjoy working out to this video. I can already see results. I really like the creative ways she incorporates the ball in the workouts, they are really effective and fun. good dvd 5 out of 5
I really enjoyed this workout. Lizbeth Garcia is great teacher, she makes it comfortable for the audience to be there even though we are in our homes. Some instructors are loud and obnoxious, Lizbeth is the total opposite. You will enjoy it. Challenging but do-able 5 out of 5
I use this DVD on the days when I don't feel like exercising. I listen to Lizbeth Garcia's encouraging voice and then I push myself to do it. The movements are challenging, but you know what? If you can't do it (i.e. teaser on the ball), then you roll up to the point where you feel comfortable. It's a very relaxing way to do pilates. The DVD is 30 minutes long with 8 minutes of extra bonus (they are even more challenging.) Very do-able and very effective. My new favorite! 5 out of 5
But it is absolutely not for beginners. I have practiced Yoga for 2 years and still can't do some poses in this DVD at all. Good simple workout for indoor routine 5 out of 5
I'm 62 and have had two major abdominal surgeries in the last 10 years and no skinny Minnie. This is a good way to regain some abdominal strength. Yes, it will tire out the true beginner, but that is how you regain your muscle strength. She does show how to do beginner positions and the more advanced positions. Do the beginner ones and work your way up. You will feel refreshed when you are done.
