Pilates Conditioning for Weight Loss
: This was my first experience ever with Pilates. This video was not hard to follow. It will take a few times to get the breathing right. Focus is on the abdominals. No way will doing this video alone help melt off pounds. I will need to combine this with other exercise and of course diet.
The exercises on this video are very good but that is masked by Deason's boring presentation. I had to put all my effort into trying to stay awake! I have no doubt that any beginner viewing this workout would be totally turned off by pilates and would never try again (which is a shame, because pilates is great for toning the body and losing weight). Try Ana Caban's videos instead. She is highly energetic and makes pilates fun (and effective).
A very effective workout, looking forward for more of her videos!
The first 10 minutes of this video are spent talking about body, mind and spirit and how we have to have balance between them to lose weight and get in shape. It also touches on breathing techniques, which are easy to figure out. I usually skip this part, but I do the warmups, which are kind of fun. The exercises are for the most part, not very challenging, but it is still a good workout if you focus on quality of movement rather than quantity. As far as the weight loss goes, it's not going to happen unless you cut calories as well. I am still waiting to see if I can lose inches without losing pounds!
Just loved Suzanne Deason's Pilates conditioning for Weight Loss! Beautiful location (Maui), soothing voice, quite a good workout, pretty easy to follow and a wonderful cool down with guitar music at the end. After finishing the video, I was rejuvenated and relaxed. This is my kind of tape.
