STOTT PILATESIntense Body Blast - Pilates Interval Training

Half of Level 2 Body Blast is the warm-up, in which PJ O'Clair does an excellent job focusing on stretching and awakening your core and all the muscle groups. PJ and two other beautiful instructors make this workout seem so easy! The inviting well-lit set, along with subtle music and PJ's expert cueing and instruction made the time go by quickly. Make no mistake ... it will challenge you, exhaust your muscles and you leave feeling that you've accomplished something. After the warm-up, they perform several sets of intervals, repeating each at least two times. Bare feet, no equipment, just a step up a level on basic Pilates movements. Definitely doable and enjoyable, I combined this workout with a simple walk, and I felt terrific afterwards! Punch up your old routine ... get out of your rut and feel the burn! You'll be glad you tried a new and challenging workout like this.

I started exercising (again) in January, walk/jog four days a week and participate in a Body pump class three days a week. When I first tried this DVD in February I felt like it went too fast. After using the DVD about four times I was able to finish without too much trouble and a light sweat which made me glad I didn't select Level 1. The instructions are clear and I appreciate the breathing reminders. However, I don't feel like this particular DVD would improve my tone if this is the only ab work I did.

So over priced for what you get. A 25 minute workout that isn't very challenging. $15.99. Not worth it and I have bought many workout tapes over the years. If your looking for good Pilate dvd, try some of the Giam dvd's.
