3.0 out of 5 stars Beginners Pilates, Mar 16 2004
By 
Sandra (Toms River, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Energy Boost Pilates (DVD)
I think this is a great beginners Pilates video. It's great for someone on the run its just 15 minutes including warm up and cool down. I am out of my home 12 hours a day so this fits perfectly in my schedule before I leave for work until I get home, and then I do it before I go to bed. Its very easy to fit into your schedule. And its not one of those crazy do a million situps in 5 minutes ordeal, its easy relaxing yet you can still fell as though your getting something out of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is the bonus workout from "AM PM Pilates Mat Workouts", Nov 5 2005
By me_me - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Energy Boost Pilates - DVD (DVD)
"Energy Boost Pilates" is the bonus 15-minute workout from "AM PM Pilates Mat Work" with Jillian Hessel and Ana Caban.

Ana's alone outside by a pond with lots of plants and trees surrounding her. She cues in voiceover and she starts out with standing stretches. Then she has you jog, do jumping jacks and front-to-back lunges to "boost energy" with these short cardio moves. Then you roll down onto the mat for the hundreds, roll ups, leg stretches, the tree, shoulder bridge, the mermaid, etc.

There isn't much instructions for those new to pilates and Ana assumes familiarity with the poses. There's no demonstrations or suggestions for modifications, either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice short Pilates workout providing a little boost of energy, Mar 28 2006
By Beth Cholette "doctor_beth" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Energy Boost Pilates - DVD (DVD)
Energy Boost Pilates is kind of different in that it begins in a standing position with a few aerobic-type moves such as jogs, knee lifts, jumping jacks, and jumping lunges. This segment is very quick--no more than 1-2 minutes--and is designed to warm you up, but you could easily skip it if needed. Instructor Ana Caban then proceeds to the floor for some traditional Pilates matwork moves. Using voiceover instruction, she leads you quickly through reclined exercises such as the hundred, the roll-up, and part of the stomach series. Moving to a seated position, Ana then performs an additional series of moves, some of which I had never seen before (and I've done A LOT of Pilates videos). Then it's a quick stretch and you're done, for a total of about 11 minutes. This video struck me as sort-of a shorter, more fast-moving version of Ana's PM Pilates workout; it's a nice alternative for getting in a full-body Pilates workout in a limited amount of time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really a Boost!, Jun 30 2005
By L. Anderson "liver" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Energy Boost Pilates - DVD (DVD)
Sometimes I get a little bored while I'm doing Pilates DVDs, they tend to get really long. What is great about this one is that the exersize part only lasts for ten minutes. You really get a workout, though! It's perfect because you can fit it in really easily to your day. I love Pilates and this just makes it better! Ana Caban is a great instructor, too. She speaks really clearly and it's very calmly done. Great DVD all around.
