Pilates Workout DVDs
Pilates workout DVDs are becoming more and more popular as people realise the benefits Pilates fitness programs can bring if practiced regulary. The problem is everyone who has a Pilates qualification seems to have brought out a Pilates Workout DVD!
I'm a qualified Pilates Instructor and even I get confused when looking at the huge selection of DVDs available. So how do you know which Pilates DVD to buy?
I have a large collection of videos and DVDs bought over the years some excellent, some good and some downright dangerous!
I thought it might be of use to you if I gave some recommendations to help you choose a suitable DVD for your Pilates Workouts.
Although these products can be effective, remember there is no substitute for taking a class with a qualified instructor. The problem with trying to follow along with a DVD is that there is no one to check if you are doing it right - which is especially important with Pilates. Having said that, a DVD can give you an idea as to whether you would enjoy Pilates as an exercise regime before you go to the expense of joining a local Pilates class.
In a perfect world if you had the time and money you would go to a class regularly and use the DVD as additional practice.
Good luck with your Pilates Workouts and if you stick with it, the benefits are well worth any time invested!
All the best,
Carol J Bartram
