Equipment:

You'll need a mat and a band. Optional wedge and light 1-3 pound handweights are also used, but not necessary.

Set/Music:

The music is soft jazz. The set was minimal, appeared to be filmed in the corner of a studio.

The Workout:

Need a pilates workout that eliminates boredom, allows you to choose what body parts you want to focus on and do it all in the time you have available? Pilates on the Go does all of this, with almost 2 hours of material.

Katherine and Kimberly Corp, along with fellow instructor, Matt, demonstrate useful pilates exercises that will work every area of the body. The workout flows and uses no breakdown, allowing for a bigger calorie burn. (they mention you can check out their podcast on their website for helpful hints or you could check out the tip section on the dvd)

Katherine and Kimberly alternate teaching each section (Matt teaches the upper body segment). Each section/chapter is unique, offering specific pilates exercises to work each area. (very little carryover of exercises between chapters, thus eliminating boredom & keeps it fresh)

Sometimes fusing elements of ballet and yoga with traditional pilates, this workout is quite challenging. The leg section is my personal favorite offering lots of side lying exercises and deep toning using the band. The workout concludes with a nice relaxing stretch.

I'd recommend this for intermediate/advanced participants, due to little instruction. (you should be familiar with pilates before attempting some of the exercises) Great buy with almost 2 hours of material.....
