5.0 out of 5 stars Great for pilates in the morning!, Sep 16 2007

This review is from: Romana Pilates:Optimum Weight (DVD)

Yes, I agree about the comments relating to there being too much historical information, stuff that should be included elsewhere in the DVD, however if you go to chapter selections and select WORKOUT WITH PETIE, you will find a quick and great solution to stretch your body and align your posture before you go to work. Her workout is only 18 minutes long and covers almost everything found in other pilates videos - only she doesn't waste time. She goes through each move as if you know them already.

I have done this workout so many times, I now play other music along with it - and feel awesome for the rest of the day. It's totally worth every penny.

This review is from: Romana Pilates:Optimum Weight (DVD)

I've studied Pilates at Drago's Gym where Romana Kryzanowska has taught for many years. And I've taken some lessons from Romana herself. I never heard anyone talk about Pilates that suggested it has weight loss benefits.

From my understanding, Pilates was not created as a weight loss method. I'm curious why Romana Kryzanowska released a video that promotes Joseph Pilates' legacy as a way to lose weight. Romana is a one-of-a-kind teacher who embraces the brilliance of Joseph Pilates' tradition. Romana is clearly one of the most important communicators of the method.

The Pilates method is awesome because it can transform your body and mind into better health overall. When Pilates is practiced properly in the original "East Coast" tradition (Joseph Pilates started his studio in NYC in the 1920s), you actually evolve into a more complete and satisfied human being.

So, this video leaves me disappointed.

I have taken numerous private sessions with Romana in New York City at Drago's Gym. These tapes were super. I felt as though Romana was in my house with me giving me a private session. They are Terrific and I highly recommend them!
