GREAT Beginning PILATES Videos

[Elln]

I am just starting Pilates and I picked up 2 great videos. In case anyone is interested, (1) Sara Picot's "More than Mat Pilates for Beginners"

http://www.pilatesforyou.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=11

and (2) "Pilates for Dummies"

Both offer great explanations, cueing and demonstrations.

i really want to try that more than mat pilates. it looks really interesting, it would be nice to simulate the reformer exercises without having one. i can barely hold my weights in this apartment let alone a reformer LOL

Hi Elln,

FYI...just in case you want to buy another pilates dvd , the Crunch: Super SLim Down Pilates Yoga Blend is really good. The DVD is lead by Ellen Barrett and I really like it.

Have a good weekend...

I am also interested in more than mat pilates. Did you find the beginner program easy or tough? Have you ever done pilates before?

Paula:

I am just starting out with Pilates. I started "group reformer" classes at http://www.reformingny.com/ on Monday, and I really liked it. So, I am going tomorrow and Sunday for the reformer class and I will do Mat at home using my two new DVDs. I am giving myself 3 months before I make any decisions about buying the "reformer". If I do, I will probably purchase this one - since it can be stored under your bed:

If you want to know more about Pilates, I would suggest you contact Robin

she has a wealth of knowledge and experience with Pilates and she will guide you in the right direction. But please keep in touch!

Take a look at her other videos. Her website is: http://www.stottpilates.com/index.html

Also, listen to her video clips at www.collagevideo.com However, it looks like they sold out of the "More than Mat Beginners" video. She is truly fabulous.

I like Pilates for Dummies - when I was first trying to learn Pilates, this was my first introduction. It's very good!
