I've never posted a review before, but I *instantly* liked this workout...

and that almost never happens to me. I've never posted a review before, but I just did this workout for the first time and just had to give some feedback. I found this to be a very accessible AND FUN Pilates inspired workout especially for those of us who started out with Walk Away the Pounds. The cardio segment felt familiar in that way. The mat exercises were good particularly "the arrowhead" and a reclining move where you pantomine pulling back a bow and arrow. I felt the moves, but didn't feel overly taxed or frustrated (I am an intermediate exerciser). If you are getting started with Pilates, and especially if you have done Walk Away the Pounds, I think you'll like this video. It made me sweat a bit and raised my heart rate a little. It also features a live drummer which I didn't think would work but I ultimately liked. It feels a bit dancey but only the most choreographically challenged will find it impossible. I agree that it is a beginner video, but I think intermediate exercisers will also enjoy it.

BTW - I also posted this on Collage. I don't know why this particular workout struck me so much, but I think it is one of those "I'll look forward to doing this one".

Instructor Comments:
Clear and easy to understand. Not too talky (which I like).
