Pilates - Bodyband Workout Review

While this is not a true aerobic workout, Pilates incorporates breathing into the exercise routine. It is easy to follow.You don't have to necessarily be looking at the screen to do the positions/moves.I feel like I've had a strenuous workout when I'm finished.There are different levels of difficultly so the dvd grows with your strength and ability.

pilates bodyband workout with ana caban Review

I am a Pilate instructor and occasionally pick up videos for ideas/techniques etc.Ana Caban is a solid safe instructor and I recommend her videos to my class participants if they want something to do at home when they can't make it to the gym.

This is a great variation on the standard classic Pilates workout and the bodyband adds a solid level of difficulty.

Pilates Sculpt & Tone Collection (Lower Body Workout / Abs Workout) (2005) Review

I'm pretty experienced in Pilates, and the Abs portion of this set is a challenging and good workout.The Lower Body portion, however, is very easy - too easy for those more experienced in Pilates.In the Abs workout, Ana Caban moves quite quickly through the exercises.I was sweating and tired by the end of it.On the other hand, I didn't even break a sweat on the Lower Body workout.It's a strange set since the two workouts are so unevenly matched in their level of difficulty.But the Abs portion is great and I would recommend that on its own for those who are looking for a challenge.The Lower Body workout is definitely for beginners.

Maintenance Pilates for Weight Loss (2006) Review

While this is a low impact workout, it is far from a day at the beach. Ana Caban leads you through a series of challenging Pilates exercises designed to boost your metabolism. While you are burning calories you are also developing lean muscles and testing your endurance.

The exercises move at a rapid pace so there is no time for a beginner to learn the exercises. This was created for anyone familiar with Pilates and especially anyone who has been through the "Quick Start Pilates for Weight Loss" workout. Ana Caban provides enough variety to make this routine interesting for intermediate to advanced students of Pilates.

There are many traditional exercises like the hundred, single leg circles, rolling like a ball, swan, teaser, spine stretch forward, roll-up, corkscrew, plank, open-leg rocker, scissors, seal, Ronde de Jambe and neck pull. She also includes some new exercises (crab and snake) to test your creativity.

Pilates Core Challenge with Ana Caban Review

I really like this video.The exercises are derived from the reformer on the mat sequence, which is considered to be super advanced.The exercises are based on traditional reformer exercises.Some of them do seem a little easy (for example, those which focus mostly on the arms seem pretty easy without the resistance of the reformer).However, many exercises which aren't that hard on the reformer (particularly those which involve your legs on the foot bar), are incredibly hard on the mat because you have to hold your legs up while doing the exercises...For example, the foot work (the video's first sequence), which is considered warm-up on the reformer, is very hard on the mat (and don't even get me started on the stomach massage series!).

I find this video extremely challenging, and it also is a nice change from the traditional mat sequence featured in most other Caban videos.I highly recommend this video for anyone what a little variety and a truly challenging workout.
