5 Stars Pilates on the Ball – 10 Min Solution
I love this DVD. The exercises are challenging, but you are encouraged to work at your own pace. You have 5 to choose from and the instruction is clear.
5 Stars Low impact workout fits into my schedule
Low impact workout fits into my schedule. The host is engaging and makes it easy to follow along.
4 Stars Pilates on the Ball
I love this video. Laura Hudson is a great instructor (I have two other Pilates DVDs of hers) and this video is a wonderful combination of Pilates and ball exercises. It provides a tough workout without being too difficult and her moves are easy to follow.
5 Stars Real Pilates adapted for the stability ball
In this DVD, Lara Hudson has developed an effective routine with creative moves based on Pilates; the exercises don’t feel contrived at all. This is one of those workouts that sneaks up on you – you may not feel like you’re doing much at the time, but it’s a different story afterwards! I found the “Upper Body” segment a bit too easy, but the “Lower Body” and “Total Body Pilates” were a different story!
The “Flexibility” segment is particularly good; I appreciate that Lara focuses on stretching the hip flexors which tend to get overworked in Pilates. This segment also makes a good stretch after other workouts. Lara is an encouraging instructor with a nice personality.
Like the other “10 Minute Solutions” DVDs, this one is fully programmable which is always a bonus. I would recommend this DVD to intermediate/advanced Pilates practitioners. If you are more of a beginner, you may like Lizbeth Garcia’s On the Ball Pilates Workout for Beginners.
4 Stars Good for an extra pilates challenge
This dvd is great for someone looking for versatility and a bit of an extra challenge from standard pilates. The ten minute sets are great for time constraints, and the ball adds extra intensity. However, I wouldn’t recommend this dvd for pilates beginners.
