Isabella Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I need to start exercising, and I really like what I'm told about the benefits of Pilates. I don't know where to start with which DVD to order, though. I need something that's pretty gentle to start with, because I'm about 30kg overweight, and I've had 9 months of 2011 with chemo & radiation that I'm still recovering from, energy-wise. Any ideas please?? ETA: I did a search, but can't seem to find specific names/title for beginner dvd's that would be suitable. Windsor Pilates is mentioned, but it seems there is several of these?

BamaTanya Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I love this one: http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/crunch-pick-your-spot-pilates-7030 I was a true beginner, and this was one I could follow. You can pick any or all of the three 10-minute mini workouts on the DVD. I just ordered these because of the clips and reviews I found: http://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/PICK-YOUR-LEVEL-WEIGHT-LOSS-PILATES-DVD-p/216.htm This is another by Ellen Barrett that looks like I could continue to use to challenge myself as I get stronger. https://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=1111 I haven't tried any of Ana Caban's, but she has a good reputation as an instructor and it looks to be easy to follow. I'll be :bigear: for other responses to your post! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started using this one: http://www.amazon.com/Pilates-Beginning-Workout-Ana-Caban/dp/B00005M1XE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325640774&sr=8-1 It was very doable for me, and I am NOT good at this sort of thing. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
