Another Great 10-Minute Solution Workout |
I've got two other "10-Minute Solutions" pilates workouts, and found this to be a great addition. The exercises combine ballet and pilates movements and are completely different from those on Suzanne's other 10-Minute DVD. You can build a customized workout using any combination of the five workouts, focusing on upper body, lower body, abs, etc. The fifth segment is a nice stretch sequence that balances the workout well.
Suzanne Bowen is a terrific instructor. She explains the importance of form while still maximizing each 10 minute set. This workout is best suited to intermediate or higher exercisers. I would particularly recommend it as a way to balance weightlifting workouts, as it tones the body without stressing joints and enhances core strength. |

Great toning! |
|
Wow! I don't usually buy short workouts because I tend to think of them as "easy"... well recently I have been very busy as a full-time college student working part-time so I decided to try this. I love it! I can honestly say that I look forward to my 10 minute workouts and can definitely feel it! |

Really really good :-0 |
To be honest, I must say that Pilates isn't my favourite type of workout and I normally avoid it, but I thought that buying a dvd like this where the pilates is 10 minutes long per segment, would be a great way for me to get to like it more and get better at doing it. I was right. This is a fantastic workout that anyone could do - even if you're like me who doesn't always enjoy it.
Suzanne is a great instructor - not intimidating in any way and instructs really well. She leads you through classic pilates mixed with dance and even strength-training to mix it up and make your results amazing. There is standing and floor work and a really good stretch at the end (or beginning if you play it that way). Overall, this is a routine done at a faster pace than normal with a little more intensity but it's fine if you are beyond a beginner exerciser. I think you need to already be familiar with Pilates to avoid getting frustrated that you don't know how to do the moves. My two favourite segments are the arms workout and the stretch.
I really enjoy this and as always, love knowing that I can do as little or as much as I'd like, or can fit in, and I know this is very effective. I really recommend it to intermediates and advanced exercisers. |

The best pilates DVD workout |
|
This pilates workout had my muscles shaking and burning in the first few reps.I loved every segment- It was very intense, easy to follow, and flowed very well. There are no fluffly moves in this workout- you can feel every exercise working. Suzanne is upbeat and keeps the workout moving...there is no room for boredom- this workout is so unique and creative. Every segment is so effective so you don't have to do the entire 5 segments. I was pleased to finish the workout with a great stretching segment, and trust me you need it after working so hard!!! This workout is definitely for all levels because she offers modifications. This is such a well-rounded workout. You will feel every muscle in your body worked!! My muscles felt stronger, more toned, and lengthened after doing this DVD. Pilates Perfect Body is a must have!!! |
