Denise Austin - Mat Workout Based on the Work of J.H. Pilates (DVD, 2001)

This is a quick, great workout which is exactly what I've been looking for. It's also great for beginners of pilates. I reccommend it.

Great DVD! This is two short workouts, so you can do them anytime. The focus is on tight abs and lengthening the body. If you can believe it, it is relaxing and hard work at the same time! I felt my posture improved after only the first week. If you want to burn a lot of calories - don't buy this DVD. If you want to feel limber and toned - I highly recommend! For beginners and intermediate.

and you will see the difference in one's stomach and/or legs!! When I don't use it..i see the difference in my legs and stomach:)

This video has been good for me. I do the first session every other day and so far I have seen a major difference. I've been doin it for two weeks so far and I am really looking forward to swimsuit season if the results keep coming as fast as they ahve been so far. It is alot of sore muscles on the inbetween days, but no pain no gain right lol.

I have been looking for this DVD everywhere and I found it at a really good price. I love it and recommend it to anyone who loves pilates.

Having done some very precise Pilates approaches, I find the simplicity of Denise Austin's Pilates video to be good for those just wanting to break into the discipline. You will definitely be challenged and feel the burn the next day!
The yoga portion is fun also and challenging for beginners. Again, it's not as precise as a disciplined class, but gives you the sense of what is is all about.

Dislikes would be that unless you know proper breathing techniques and body symmetry concepts taught in more structured Pilates training such as Stott, you can do some damage! Denise does not discuss much as far as neck/lower back/core positioning and it is easy to hurt yourself and be very sore with a bad back if you don't have foundation training in Pilates. I recommend some Stott Pilates training for those who really want to get a solid foundation in Pilates.

I bought because it was one of the items I was looking for at a good price and low shipping price. This item had a picture listed which was very helpful also.

I find this exercise DVD relaxing and peaceful, from the soothing sound of her voice and background music to the way your body feels after the stetching. It leaves you feeling like you can and want to come back to it the next day instead of dreading it because you were too sore afterward. You feel invigorated, refreshed, and energized.

I have always loved Denise Austin and her commitment to a healthy lifestyle and
helping others with exercise and diet. I've been buying her videos, dvd's for years, from aerobics to strenth training to yoga and pilates. I still use them
all. Thanks

Great product. Was as exactly as described. Would recommend to anyone. Denise Austin workout videos is something to inspire anyone to watch and exercise or so my wife says.

Perfect condition. Perfect condition. Perfect condition. Perfect condition. Perfect condition. Perfect condition.
