Pilates for Pink Workout (2008) Review

Pilates for Pink WorkoutThe Pilates for Pink workout has sections for upper body, lower body, and abs. There are separate workout options available on the DVD menu, or you can do them all together for a 50 minute workout. There is a pink exercise band included with the workout.

Overall, I'm glad I bought it. The exercises combine traditional pilates matwork (hundreds, single leg stretch etc) with exercises that take advantage of the band and are meant to simulate reformer or other machine exercises. I didn't feel over tired afterward, but i did feel like I got good toning in. And even though it's 50 minutes or so and not terribly fast-paced, I didn't feel bored. The arm exercises were fun, but I won't know how effective they are until I've done the workout more. Overall, it's a good recommendation if you are just starting out, or if you have another pilates DVD or two and want some variety, but if you have other stuff from Winsor, I don't know how repetitive this one would be. It reminded me of the 10 minute solution slim and sculpt pilates, which also uses the band. So if you like one, you'll like the other.

They give $1 to Breast Cancer for each purchase, so this would make a thoughtful purchase or gift anyway. If some of the money didn't go to cancer, I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay full price for it.

Mari Winsor: Pilates Review

Mari Winsor: PilatesI own a lot of workout DVD's but there are very few that I actually use on a daily basis.Mari's new workout DVD has lots of instruction on how to perfom each move for optimum benifits. She even has a modified version of each one!The express workout has fewer repetitions of each move, but still provides a good workout.The plus with this one is that it is only 25 minutes and is easy to fit in on busy mornings.The full workout is more thorough.I had purchased a pilates DVD before, but this one is by far easier to follow.Plus, there is no equipment required other than a mat.The only downside, if there is one, is that sometimes there is a little too much time spent explaining each move before beginning it.Overall, I would definately recommend it.
