 Rating: - Love itI am a beginner to Pilates and because of a lower back/hip problem, I had to ease off yoga and find an alternative and this has certainly worked for me. I've been practising this dvd for 2 months now and have noticed a marked difference in my torso - it is toned and stronger. The pace is slow but effective. I like the way you can work at Darcey's pace and never break out in a sweat! The music is calming and really quietens the mind. Having the exercises in sections is a good idea as you can focus on areas you want to if you're pushed for time. The style is not gimmicky and I like Darcey's style and instruction. Rating: - Bliss!As someone who has dabbled with various exercise DVDs and videos over the years and never stuck with them, I can't express enough how refreshingly different this one is. No thumping music or graphics, no flashy sets and most importantly an instructor who doesn't feel the need to talk or shout in a 'motivational' fashion all the way through it. Darcey is elegant and calm and explains everything simply and concisely. I was a complete beginner to Pilates when I bought this DVD, and a few reviewers have expressed the opinion that it is not suitable for beginners and indeed may lead to injury, but provided you watch closely how Darcey does things and watch the key points section, you should be okay. Of course, you should exercise your ... Read More: Rating:  - Fabulous Body Work OutGreat work out. Very easy to follow and well paced for beginners. Your body gets stretched but not battered. You feel great doing the warm up, the full program and then the warm down. Would love to see a new video by Ms Bussell taking you to the next stage. Lovely music. Rating: - Worth the effortI have various back problems typical of a desk worker. After attending a series of pilates classes run by the physiotherapist that I attend I decided it would be more convenient to exercise in my own home. I chose this DVD based on previous customer reviews and would highly recommend it. Don't be put off by Darcey Bussell being slim, elegant and very, very flexible, this DVD is at the right speed and level for anyone who wants to take up pilates in privacy without looking like an inept idiot in a class! Darcey is a good teacher and the pace is just right. The music is calm and soothing. The exercises are very similar to the classes I attended and are not a struggle. With there being a shorter programme as well as the main one it is possible ... Read More: Rating: - Best exercise DVD I've usedI bought this DVD because of some of the reviews on Amazon and I'm really glad I did. Since I've been doing it 2-3 times a week I have noticed a big difference in my posture, I sleep better, and there is a glimmer of the muscles I had as a teenager 15 years ago! I haven't lost any weight yet, but my fat percentage has dropped and my jeans fit better. The long work out is good for days when you aren't in a hurry and its easy to fit in the mini-workout a few work days a week. As for the music being dreary - if you don't like classical music I could imagine it is a bit annoying. But it works well with the Bussell brand and the tempo required to do the exercises properly, and I really like Debussy. The only thing I would criticise it for is ... Read More: |
