Product Description
From Amazon.com
Instructor Lisa Wheeler takes viewers through a blend of yoga's sun salutations, ballet's plié and relevé, and Pilates's seal and scissors--with a dash of kickboxing--in the first of these two 20-minute sets. Pilates purists will no doubt object, but for those looking to strengthen their balance and work on their abs, Wheeler's routine get the job done. In the second routine Jennifer Kries employs more true Pilates moves: roll-ups, leg circles, criss-cross, spinal stretches, and the 100 (though her brief version could be better characterized as the 10!). Both series feature brief warm-ups and cool-downs. The live drumbeat accompaniment is less intrusive than in other New Method offerings, making this a good way for exercisers of any age to start or end the day. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Nice Stretching Intro To Pilates and Yoga,
By
This review is from: New Method 20/20-Perf.Pilates (VHS Tape)
I am Maureen, a 40 year old woman who has been pretty sedentary although never overweight. This tape is perfect for me to start stretching out those shrinking muscles of mine and work towards strength and flexiblity. Very nice pace and nice drum music. Though they switch quickly from floor excercises to standing excercises so you have to be ready with a blanket or mat to roll out quickly on the floor. One tip...when I first started, the excercises seemed so easy I thought "wow, I'm a natural" then after about a week I decided to put a mirror out to watch my form and the excercises got much harder. I was "breaking in the mid section" over and over on almost every excercise. Once you dicipline yourself with the mirror not to break in the mid section while doing the movements, they aren't so simple any more. And on the floor excercises like the scissors, I was really bending my knees badly, Once I used the mirror and learned to keep the knees straight, I got A LOT more out of the excercises. My stomach muscles are developing definition in only about a month. I really like it. I do the 1st workout one day and the 2nd workout the next day which keeps me from getting bored. In 4 months or so I hope to be able to go through both workouts, in correct form without tiring. Here's to your health!

I like it,

This review is from: New Method 20/20-Perfect Pilat (DVD)
I have to agree that it's not really pilates, but I like the workout all the same. I find it to be a good mix of pilates, yoga, and dance. I like the first workout the best, it makes me feel more graceful and if you concentrate on every move and really using your muscles its great for toning. And my arms are always tired by the end from simply holding them out. I thought that was a nice touch!

good beginner workout--plus, headache relief,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Method 20/20-Perf.Pilates (VHS Tape)
This is a very good workout for beginners. The instructors are non-annoying and the drum music in the background is calming. As an added bonus, I use this workout whenever I have a headache and it usually goes right away!
