D. Austin's Pilates for Everybody
I haven't done it yet,either. Received it yesterday, be-lated
b-day gift.
I like the format, the background pastel colors. I think it is
a very creative routine. She states these are her favorite
pilates videos.
The warm up is a lot of flowing side bends and arm movements
The standing up segment uses a chair. There are some
Tai chi moves, one interesting one is your legs are spread in
a V and you bend down and using your hands/ draw a figure
8 on the floor.
She constantly reminds you to zip up your abs..which i like.
She over all is more calm, as calm as Denise can be...
Pilates floor wk has roll ups and downs, scoop and hollow
out your abs, she does a move and then progressively shows
you the next level. She does this thru out the video..so it is
one you could grow with.
I really liked the circular sit-ups, bicycle type moves, Teaser is
in here.
The dyna band movements look really effective...trunk
rotation twists, leg circles using band inner and outer thigh
exercises, etc.
There are some swimming moves, mermaid and she does
the dolphin yoga pose. Lots of ballet leg positioning for various
moves...tree type passe~, there are lateral raises, bicep
curls using dyna band called Strong man, demi squats, deltoid
moves, a sideways sword type lunging move. Then a move
called balancing stick.
Overall, i liked it and get this at the very beginning of the
credits, it list LISA WHEELER as the FITNESS SPECIALIST.
This isn't a review, i wrote some notes while watching it and
had quite a few interruptions..so my notes were out of context.
I liked the Total body effect and i find Denise's toning exercises
to be what is does best. Very creative~I really liked it~Ellie
