Great DVD Workout for Resistance Band 4 out of 5
I selected this DVD specifically because the workouts use a resistance band. I like that the Pilates with bands workouts are like a mix of Yoga & strength training in one. My only compliant is that the instructor doesn't give enough time to move the band in place before the exercise is performed. I recommend that at least the first couple times you use this DVD, you keep the remote control handy so you can pause it to adjust the band as needed.
Pretty good 4 out of 5
This is an easy workout that you can feel. Great for beginners. I've had it for a few days and have found it easy to make myself do a ten minute work every day.
love it! 4 out of 5
this is a great DVD...not a big fan of the instructor--she's not BAD, just a bit BLAH.
Love the exercises, though and the band makes a big difference for me in the effectiveness.
Band Seems to Mostly Just Hinder Workout 2 out of 5
I started working out with the Ana Caban pilates dvds and wanted to try out a little variety. I purchased this dvd hoping to alternate it with my other pilates dvds and was excited to incorporate the band into some of the moves. I was disappointed, however, when just about every single move uses the band and I often found myself more distracted by it than actually focusing on getting a good workout.
With Ana Caban's dvds the time seems to fly by and at the end I feel as though I got a good workout. As I tried out this dvd, I found myself relieved when the end of a segment finally came and it seemed almost never-ending as I tried to get through all five. There were certainly some good poses and instruction that were pointed out in the dvd where I learned a little something about pilates, but overall I felt bored with the workout and frustrated/hindered attempting to incorporate the band.
Quick and effective! 5 out of 5
For a quick, effective workout, try this video! Do as little or as much of it as you want. As a fist-time pilates user, I found it easy to follow along and do the movements. The band that comes with it was a nice bonus.
