So boring and tedious!
Review date: 2006-09-13 Rating: 2 out of 10
I found this dvd so boring and tedious, it has put me off pilates for life! There is no time for position changes or the amount of reps she suggests. I found myself wrestling with pillows and rolling my 19 week pregnant body round the floor trying to quickly get into the next position. I did not find the excercises particularly challenging or beneficial as I am quite fit (though old at 42).

Not Worth The Price

This is my 4th baby and I wanted to try Pilates. I found this DVD absolutely USELESS!!! Lynn does not give you time to change position OR let you complete your set before going to the next exercise (she says "do this 5 times" but model does not do it).I spent more time fighting with pillows,putting the DVD on Pause/Play,trying breathing or positioning myself correctly or catching up with her, than being able to listen to her explainations. I gave up after using it for 3 weeks.
Helpful but boring

I have used Pilates from 16th week of pregnancy and it did help me not put too much weight on. Unfortunatley it is for women who had no contact with any kind of exercise, meaning it is too easy, and too boring for my taste. So, recomendation.. if you are a person that has more energy, Pilates is not the exercise for you.
Good for early stages of pregnancy

As a novice to pilates I did find the exercises easy to follow and they seemed to help my back pain. However, at 31 weeks I find the amount of position changes during the exercise routine really quite irritating and I have to keep pushing the pause button to keep up. As you have to do the exercises several times a week; this has unfortunately put me off using it as much. Would probably not buy it again.

A very good DVD a gentle exerecise regime for Pregnancy. If you have done Pilates before you will pick this up easily. If you have not done Pilates before i would suggest you watch it through a couple of times first. Once practicing the breathing techniques and the second time breathing as you watch the moves.
I would also advise buying it on DVD rather than video firstly this makes it easy to pause the DVD at the introduction to each exercise so that you have time to correctly get into position and its very easy to skip backwards and listen to the instructions again whilst you are getting used to the body positioning and movements. I was 32 weeks when this DVD came out and as you get larger the DVD doesn't give you time to swap positions between moves. It also means you can pause and increase the number of repetitions or simply replay that exercise again.
