Crunch - Pick Your Spot Pilates Reviews
Perfect for busy moms
I really love this DVD. The instructor is pleasent and guides you through each segment without trying to be funny or cute. After having this for a couple of years, I am still not tired of it. As a new mom, I am pressed for time. I may not be able to do the whole workout at once, but I can do one segment at a time. In some exercizes, I hold my 12-pound baby for extra resistence, and he loves it. My husband even does the thigh segment because he likes the way it stretches him out before physical activites and alleviates lower back pain. If you are on a more advanced level, you may want to incorporate weights or bands.
Pilates-inspired workout for experienced beginners and intermediates
I would have reservations recommending this workout to someone who has never done Pilates for two reasons: 1. there is not enough detailed instruction 2. the workout is not traditional Pilates. Many of the exercises are taken directly from Joseph Pilates' sequence, but many are not. The exercises may work similar muscles as traditional Pilates, but in different ways. Also, while traditional Pilates workouts are done in a specific, flowing order, this workout is organized by body part: 10 minutes abs, 10 minutes butt, and 10 minutes thighs. There's also a 10 minute bonus total body workout that is more challenging, although I don't think this is meant to be done right after the other segments, as you can't play them all together. Instead, you can play the three body part sections together, then you have to go back to the main menu to play the bonus. Some of the exercises are repeated in the bonus also.
I'm not especially fond of the format of this workout. I prefer not to focus on one body part at a time, because if I exhaust the muscle without a break, my form suffers on later exercises. But, there are not so many challenging exercises in a row that I have this problem. All in all, I like this one for variety when I'm bored of my traditional Pilates routine.
