Editorial Reviews

Based on the exercise program developed by fitness pioneer Joseph Pilates, this popular workout regime is based on the theory that strength comes from the core. Certified Pilates instructor Ana Caban leads the viewer through a series of instructions and demonstrations before beginning a 20-minutes session of abdominal and back-strengthening activities. While the concept of improving posture and looking lean is not new, the method certainly is. This video from Living Arts Studio is a fresh approach to the world of health and fitness and clings to the maxim of feeling better in ten sessions, looking better in 20, and having a completely new body in 30.

A great workout from my favorite Pilates instructorby mellodivine

November 03, 2009: I started taking Pilates lessons back in 2000. I decided to purchase a video to help me keep up my practice at home. Dare I say, I actually liked this video better than the actual class! Ana is a clear, concise, encouraging instructor who easily coaches you into each of the poses, and tells you where to focus your energy for maximum benefit. There's also another person doing modified versions of each exercise, in the event that you can't do the full movement at first. Perfect pace for beginners or those in need of a refresher. This video (I had it on VHS back in 2000 when it was first released) did such a great job that with regular practice, I was consistently out-performing all the other students in my weekly Pilates class, much to the surprise of the instructor, the other students, and myself.

This was such a great buy, I'm re-purchasing it to help me ease back into my practice. And I'm purchasing a copy for a friend! Of the several Pilates DVD's I've tried out over the years, this is by far my favorite. Challenging enough to keep you engaged, but paced well enough to prevent beginners from becoming discouraged. I've shared this video with numerous friends, many of whom have become Pilates aficionados and Ana Caban fans. And for the price, you can't go wrong.

May 02, 2009: This was my intro to Pilates. Ana gives great instruction. There is someone else doing a modified version so you can start there if you can't follow Ana. As you get to know the exercises, you can do the exercises as she gives the instruction, and then skip to the next exercise easily on the DVD to get through the video faster. After 1 month of doing it practically everyday, I can follow Ana for all the exercises. I feel a calm energy all day after I do the video. I highly recommend!
