Feel the burn 5 out of 5
Great workout, use this one when I have a little more time. About a half hour of six pack making exercises.
All of Ana's Videos are Great 5 out of 5
I also have the Pilates Beginning Mat Workout, Intermediate Mat Workout. This video could be called Advanced Mat Workout, and I would recommend it to anyone who has done the others.
I like all of them because she really explains what you are doing and takes you thru the process. There is no loud music or scantly clad people jumping around. She gives clear directions even when you are upside down and can't see the screen. This is a really good workout with clear instructions.
Short, hard workout- stick with it! 5 out of 5
I am an avid bike racer- and hate to do videos. That said, this one is awesome. Short, to the point and well rounded.
Used this video 3x per week after having a child and it did great things for my abs. Highly recommended.
Good, but kind of boring, for me anyway... 3 out of 5
My title says it all. Ana knows her moves and teaches well, but personally, I find her style not particularly inspiring. But that's just me. Still, it's a good DVD to get results and you can always play your own music in the background if you want and still see proper form and good pilates positions. Oh! and she's not annoying, that's a very big deal with exercise DVD's! :)
just an okay workout 2 out of 5
This pilates abs video is not really worth getting if you already have a regular pilates workout dvd, it's about all the same exercises as a regular pilates dvd.
