Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Having A Ball Comment: I am really enjoying this DVD to add some different ways of working with Pilates in my exercises. I have working alot on my abs with this DVD and feel the results, love that part alot. As a relatively new person to Pilates and working my way up there were many things I could do on this DVD as a beginner. If you like Pilates and want to add some extras (such as a ball) that will further strengthen you, Lizbeth will help. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Ab Workout Comment: I am kind of new to the pilates thing, but the few videos I have done, I have loved. This one was no exception. It was so much fun that when it was over, I was left thinking, "is that it"? Hah. Although I consider myself to be fit with good ab strength, it has been two days and I am still sore. I do agree with other reviewers that said this workout is something to build up to. You probably won't master it on the first try. Customer Rating: Summary: I learned a lot Comment: This DVD can teach you dozens of things to do on an exercise ball that you never thought possible. The title says for "beginners" but I found it to be pretty intermediate myself.
Overall I love using this workout video...it concentrates on your core muscles but definitely is no cardio workout. I find myself skipping the first part because she goes entirely too slow at first. Be prepared to mute the video and/or listen to music after the first time watching...she is really annoying and says "inhale, exhale" probably 300 times. She's good though! Customer Rating: Summary: A fun challenge Comment: This video combined two forms of exercise I love. The stability ball and pilates. The routine takes pilates off the floor and challenges your core muscles to remain stable on the ball. I fell off my ball the first five tries. The moves look simple, but require focus and strength to execute. I'm a huge fan. This is the video that redeemed by Core Secrets ball (Don't bother with Core Secrets. Their exercises can be found on any library ball workout video.) Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome for beginners needing core strength! Comment: As someone who only recently allowed my body to get out of shape, I needed something to kick start a core-training program, and this was the perfect choice! While difficult, it's enjoyable and pleasant. You feel your body throughout the day after working out. It makes a difference immediately.
The instructor is beautiful and inspiring. She has a great voice and nothing about this dvd is annoying like so many other work out dvds.
I have no complaints. This is the dvd for you if desire core strength almost over night!
