Pilates Weight Loss Workout For Dummies

CD-Charts > DVD > Fitness
from: Starz Home Entertainment

Release Date December 26, 2005
I have never done pilates before and having read other reviews decided to purchase this dvd hoping for a good introduction to a pilates workout. And this is exactly what you'll get. If, like me, you're not a big fan of complicated dance routines done by a bunch of people in garish outfits whose 'ideal' bodies clearly have nothing to do with the exercise performed, you're gonna love this dvd. The exercises are shown in a slow and clear way by a friendly instructor - they are easy to follow even if you're doing it for the first time and effective from the first move. There are additional explanations or more/less advanced alternatives to a given exercise popping up when necessary but this is in no way distracting. The dvd is divided into several ... Read More:

Ministry Of Sound : The Ultimate Workout - Pump It Up, Burn It, Lose It

CD-Charts > DVD > Fitness
from: Ministry of Sound

Release Date December 26, 2006
This dvd is fantastic. I have about 7 or 8 fitness dvds sat on the shelf that have been used once and never seen the light of day since, but this one is great. I dont have very good coordination and usually flap around like a fish on dry land when doing exercise dvds, but this one is really eay to get into, there were parts i got a bit stuck with but im sure once ive done it afew times it will be fine. its set out in 4 parts so it seems to go really quick, you also get told how many songs each section will have so it makes it easier to stick it out, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! So glad i bought it. The woman who does the dvd, Deanna, is really good and very likeable, she makes it fun and easy.

Darcey Bussell: Pilates For Life

CD-Charts > DVD > Fitness
by: Darcey Bussell

Release Date March 13, 2006
I'm not impressed with this pilates dvd at all and will, after writing this review, be shopping for another. Ms Bussell comes across very well, the music is fine, what I have a problem with is the exercises and the way Ms Bussell hurries through them. She's obviously an extremely supple person so by the time she's demonstrated 10 neck stretches I will have done 3 (slowly, as a non-supple person should). I don't believe she's demonstrated nearly enough correct key postures either, as she only did a few, yet whenever I've attended pilates classes a LOT more time is given over to ensuring the class is doing the excercises correctly. I really think Ms Bussell has jumped on the bandwagon and not given enough thought to who the dvd is aimed at.

Strictly Come Dancersize [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > Fitness
starring: Karen Hardy, Erin Boag

Release Date December 03, 2007
Got this DVD yesterday and giving it a go for the first time today. Practically gave up almost immediately - impossible to follow. So I thought I would see how other people have got on with it and read the reviews - thank you, very helpful - maybe I will try and persevere but not being a very patient person with much time to spare, I think it's unlikely.

My biggest complaint with this - and other fitness DVD's - is that they never have someone doing the routine with their back to you - know what I mean? Not only do you have to try and learn all the moves but you have to learn them in reverse. Please please fitness DVD makers - we don't need to see your face! I find myself trying to do it by turning the other way round (so I am the same way round ... Read More:

10 Minute Solution - Pilates

CD-Charts > DVD > Fitness
from: Starz Home Entertainment

Release Date December 26, 2005
I was bought this DVD as I had a very bad back. I started using the first program and eventually worked my way up to being able to do all the programs. I lost weight and gained loads of core strength. It may not be true pilates (so I read) but it has done wonders for me and my back. I now use it to maintain my strength and supplement this with kickboxing (another 10 minute solutions) - something I never would have been able to achive before.

Davina McCall - High Energy Five

CD-Charts > DVD > Fitness
by: Davina

Release Date December 03, 2007
I bought this DVD as soon as it came out a year ago and have been using regularly in rotation with my other fitness DVDs. I think the routine is great and excercises you all round and I like that you can select different sections depending on the time you have and to keep you interested.

Great. But and I mean a big BUT, Davina's constant chatter, especially in the important cool down is SO IRRITATING. Funny to watch once yes, but you are supposed to use this DVD 3 times a week or so and you can imagine the gurning faces and interruptions about Madonna's biceps or whatever get a bit tired.

Hopefully they will take this into consideration on her next DVD as it reallt is one of the best fitness DVDs out there!

Ministry Of Sound: Pump It Up! The Ultimate Dance Workout

CD-Charts > DVD > Fitness
by: Pump It Up!

Release Date December 28, 2004
This DVD is great. It is hardcore, but it's something you can work with.. it's not too hard that you want to give up. When I get to the end, I just want to do it again! It doesn't get boring either 'coz you can work on your form and posture or work up to getting through a whole section without having to stop for breath at least! Well worth it, I'm really having fun with this.
