What a great program! I have taken pilates classes before, and was doubtful about following a VHS program. There is just something about being in a class with other people doing the exercise that is just different, right? Well, with this tape, it feels similar to being in a class. The women show three different modified versions of each exercise (beginner, intermediate, advanced). What MOST impressed me about this tape though was the FLOW. The exercises transition quickly and naturally into each other, creating a holistic feeling of connection in the body-- and that is part of the goal of pilates-- to connect all the disparate parts and achieve balance. The verbal walk-through of the moves mean that I could perform the exercise without having to crane my neck toward the tv. And she is constantly bringing awareness to which body part you should focus on to complete the exercise.
The Gaiam Pilates BodyBand video makes practicing Pilates more effective than ever. With this video you can maintain your Pilates practice even during a busy schedule. The 40-minute Pilates BodyBand Workout video, featuring certified Pilates teacher Ana Caban, is an energizing multi-level program. Using a Pilates Body Band, you can follow one of three people on the workout tape, each performing movements with a different resistance level. As your ability and fitness levels increase, you can increase the BodyBand resistance too.
