Customer Rating:      Summary: An Inflexible Man Comment: I am pretty inflexible especially since I stopped working out awhile ago and now tyring to get back into it.
This is great in how it lays everything out clearly and addresses the needs of people like myself and I found myself getting stronger and more flexible after a a month and a half, so I am pleased with my progress though I have a way to go still.
Customer Rating:      Summary: pilates Comment: I have tried pilates for dummies and loved it, this cd is an extention of that video with more moves.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Are you kidding? Comment: I had high hopes for this dvd, and I was sorely disappointed. I'm giving it two stars because there is value in the material itself. Unfortunately, Maggie Rhoades' delivery is so ridiculously poor it overshadows everything else. Ever heard a second-grader read something with such a complete lack of fluency that you can't comprehend the sentence, even though you can understand each word? In a nutshell, that is Maggie Rhoades. Her pained grimace, her use of ridiculous jargon over simple language, the voiceovers that make parts of the video look like a dubbed foreign film, all make the dvd so irritating to try to follow as to be useless. Save your money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Just what I was hoping for Comment: This is for those of us who need a more remedial approach to Pilates, not for people who can do a standard beginner level video. So, if you want to get the benefits of Pilates but the standard modifications on other videos are still too hard, get this DVD. It's exactly what you have been hoping for. It does have extra flexibility work with yoga, which you shouldn't overlook. Do it. I never thought I would be able to do Pilates (or yoga) and if I can, anyone can.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Finally Comment: Finally someone who knows what inflexible really means and how to make exercise doable. I got so discouraged with gym classes and videos because even their easy versions or "beginner modifications" were still too hard for me. I'm so glad to have found a program that lets me get work on getting stronger and more flexible and seems to have been tailor made for me. My results so far are really encouraging. This is the first exercise program I've actually looked forward to doing and have stuck with.
