Romana's Pilates - Optimum Weight Management (2004, DVD)

Interesting history to the Pilates method. She is THE EXPERT in how to teach pilates to beginners as well as advanced students. I liked the footage of Joseph Pilates, it was fascinating.

Ce DVD est très bien pour moi car je suis deja professeure, mais je trouve que l'enseignante parle beaucoup trop (surtout en anglais que je ne comprends pas !), peu d'éducatifs (même pas du tout), elle cause beaucoup dans le vide mais par contre pour expliquer ABC des mouvements rien n'est fait : il faut comprendre par soi-même, difficile pour débutants voire impossible donc.

En positif : vraiment très bons mouvements sur des élèves à qui on aimerait ressembler !

Informational section about "uncle Joe" and start of Pilates system. Romania is a spunky gal. Instructional section on how to do exercises properly was helpful... I dont do Pilates often and liked being able to see the right way to go about it. I enjoyed actual wokout, it is fast paced and fun too. I enjoyed the workout and I have muscles sore I didnt know I had! You have to start somewhere and this is probally a good way to do it. With Pilates I have found that you just have to jump in and do it.. Just try a few of the reps and work up to full workout..enjoy

I am very pleased with my order. I recieved the dvd in a timely fashion. The product was in perfect condition (brand new). The dvd itself is very good, if you are a beginner pilates person, stick with it. I have been doing this since I recieved it and already notice an increase in my strength as well as my shape changing. Hopefully, in another couple of months the "frontbutt" will be totally gone!
