Element: Targeted Toning Pilates for Beginners

Elizabeth Ordway
Year Released: 2013

Categories: Pilates/Core Strength


I am not in good shape, but would like to get there. I picked up this DVD at Target because it was cheap, pilates looked like something other than yoga, and the workouts were only 20 minutes long.

Even in my current bad shape, I was able to do these workouts without too much of a problem. I did have to put down my extended arms or legs for a few seconds while Elizabeth rested in the extended position. Fortunately, her segues were quick and seamless so I was good to go.

I really liked the voiceover, as opposed to the instructor talking all the time. It was unusual, but nice. The back drop of outdoors is always soothing for me.

Overall, I really like this DVD as it was challenging for me, but not crippling. I know I will feel it in the morning :)
