Gorgeous Bernadette Giorgi! - Page 3

I am in my thirties, and weigh 50 pounds less than I did during my teens. I certainly am in better shape than when I was a 20-something smoker. Of course age is just a number! I admit that I love seeing fit, elegant women at any age. That's what I'm expressing with this thread, an inspiration, a hope that I might be able to preserve the fitness level that I have now for many years to come. I don't think it's easy!

I'm finally giving pilates a chance. I've been doing her Powerball Sculpt workouts for ~1.5 weeks and plan on doing it for an entire month before making a judgement on pilates. I'm an apple on a quest for a slimmer midsection. I have to admit I do find Bernadette quite lovely & calming in the video . . . off to check out her website.

Okay, back from her website, she is beautiful!!! What body type do you think she is?

She looks like a pear, but in very, very good shape! I have a very similar body shape, typical mediterranean. I'm Greek, she's of Italian descent.

Gale, I recently traded for her circle workout, which I've coveted for years, and personally LOVE it. Now that I'm done with my YBB check-in I'll work in more B.G. and give you some feedback on the circle workout. So far I've tried the first portion only, abs, which runs about 28 minutes and I found the time flew. She uses the circle on the outsides of the ankles a lot which some people might find odd, but for my weird hip flexor issues it actually felt good. I'm looking forward to the side series segment at some point this week.

I'm feeling the need to just go ahead and buy her power ball workout soon.

I friended Bernadette on Facebook and she does attend a lot of Pilates training, teaches it alot, and she loves symphony!

I think the video is done where she lives, in Philidelphia

I love these workouts, i tend to do them when I'm sick, or when I want to get stronger in my core, because mercy, me, she works it. I didn't like the circle workout, [not because of the workout, but because of the circle. i have an old Winsor Pilates one and i felt like I was gonna smush it with my heavy thighs, so i tended to not do it. Attitude + Power Ball are my favs. [I always want to do the 12 week Attitude Challenge and then graduate to Attitude 2 but then I realie i am not seeing asthetic results so i stop. once I get to goal weight, i will do it].

I did email Bernadette re: the list we suggested, but I personally think with her very busy schedule [several europe teaching trips, starting a new Golf + Pilates class, and taking on extra classes], dvds will be on the backburner for a scootch. I think i still have the email, so i can always ask Bernadette if she still has it, so she has something to consider for 2011.

Daisy, you might like the Stamina Pilates Circle which is nicely padded, I know exactly what you mean about it pinching the thighs.

Does anyone know if the power ball dvd (top in the shop section) is new? I wonder what it is like. Are the other dvds just new covers of previously released dvds? Thanks!

Pat58 · 10-04-10, 10:01 AM

Powerball is the "newest" but has been out a couple of years, I think. Those covers on the new website are just that, new covers. Bernadette has four workouts at present:

Attitude Ballet & Pilates Fusion
Attitude Tu
Pilates Circle Challenge
Powerball Sculpt

At least she was decent enough not to change the names, and pull a Gaiam on us.

Thank you...I would have ordered one i already have.
