10 Minute Solutions Rapid Results Pilates with Laura Hudson 4 out of 5
I love this DVD. I started with Marie Windsor's pilates and got good results. But, I wanted a workout that was faster paced and paid attention to my arms. I got all of this and more with Laura Hudson's Rapid Results. The workout is not overwhelming to those just starting Pilates. Even though I've been doing Pilates for several years, I still like this workout. As I become more flexible, I can perform the moves better and more effectively.
The DVD isn't what I expected... 3 out of 5
It is not an exciting work out. It does not motivate me to select it instead of one of my other work out DVDs. If it is your only work out disk, then you may find it more challenging and exciting.
Great Challenging Workout 5 out of 5
I really like this video as I do most of the 10 Minute Solutions I have tried. Lara Hudson is a good instructor. I generally do all 5 of the 10 minute segments and my whole body definitely feels like it has been worked out at the end of it. Some of the moves are pretty challenging and if you are a beginner, you may not be able to do them. However, if you stick with it, you will be amazed at how much easier the moves become the more you do them. One of the best things about this video is if you don't have a lot of time to get a workout in, you can choose only 1 or 2 of the segments and still get a good workout.
Good, clear instruction 5 out of 5
What makes or breaks a workout DVD for me is the quality of the instructor - how clear are the directions and how well can I follow the moves? I appreciated the specificity of Lara Hudson's instruction; other Pilates (and yoga) DVDs I've done rattle off poses while the instructor moves into them, leaving me trying to flip the image in my head and figure out if that's her right or left leg that's forward and which arm is crossed which way. The instruction in this DVD was clear and easy to follow and specified right and left sides of the body, which is helpful when you're staring at a flat image on a screen and not an actual person.
There was a good amount of variety in the different workouts, which kept me interested and not bored. I'm relatively new to Pilates, though I do other toning and strength workouts on a regular basis, and I found the moves moderately challenging - some were easy, some were harder, and the workouts overall were manageable without being too easy or discouragingly difficult.
Best workout DVD ever! 5 out of 5
I am a stay at home mom and I was looking for something that would give me the choice of what I want to work on. This is such a great DVD...the workout is divided into five parts concentrating on specific areas of the body. I get to choose what I want to focus on and for how long. I don't always have full 50 minutes to commit to the workout, so this works out great for me. The Ab workout is a killer...you actually feel the burn when you are doing the exercises. I have just started working out, so cannot comment on the results but I am positive that if I commit to doing this on a regular basis, I would be pleased. Lara Hudson is great...she keeps you engaged and motivated. Best DVD ever!!
