The Pilates Body Kit: An Interactive Fitness Program to Strengthen, Streamline, and Tone (includes 2 audio cds, flash cards & workbook)

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Half

(Audio CD)-Whether you're recovering from back surgery or looking for a decent full-body workout, Pilates has something to offer--and this practical kit from well-known guru Brooke Siler pulls a complicated system together with finesse. Emphasizing equal stretching and strengthening of the muscles (especially those throughout the torso, referred to as "the powerhouse"), Pilates mat work is conveniently portable thanks to its total lack of fancy equipment. Combining a video with Pilates is asking for poor muscular alignment and a lot of mental distraction, so while the kit's components may seem a little old-fashioned, they're both effective and appropriate. Two CDs and 70 illustrated flash cards work together to supply visual and oral cues for each exercise; a simple book and exercise journal complete the package. With a portable player, you'll have private instruction in public gyms or hotels without expensive classes or tight schedules. The first disk provides a solid grounding in the fundamentals and progresses up the ladder. Many postures are possible for everyone, regardless of fitness level, and it's also a good backup for advanced students if an accident or illness forces you to start again from scratch. The second disk takes you through the intermediate exercises, some of which may be difficult (or impossible) at first but remain inspiring--Siler's gentle authority and creative metaphors make it easy to visualize a day when we'll all be as lean, strong and flexible as she is. --Jill Lightner

  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Jun 3 2009

    Having worked out all my life, I wanted something new. I can't afford the classes and videos were hard to choose from. Being new to the whole Pilates thing, I really like the idea of just listening to the audio and not feeling the need to watch video which throws off my form. The cards are a great reference with the photos and the tips. Now I recognize a lot of things I see in the classes so I feel the content is current. It progresses nicely and I can't wait to get to the advanced moves and to be able to do a whole routine on my own.

    I too would love to see an advanced level I have her book and use it to enhance a few of the exercises to bring it up to a more lengthy workout and a little higher challenge. Overall I am very pleased and have recommended it to many others

  3. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Feb 6 2009

    This scored points for me because I have stuck with the program for 18 months with good results in terms of gains in flexibility and core strength and overall wellbeing- and at a fraction of the cost of pilates classes. At first, I found the detailed breakdown of the exercise steps at a slow rate to be immensely helpful. Furthermore the cards gave me reassurance and complemented the cd well. Ms Siler uses a very calm, warm encouraging tone of voice which helps greatly. There were 2 classes included : one beginner and one intermediate level-- I found both easy to fit into my daily routine as they were concise,targeted- and time- efficient without being intimidating and demonstrated good results. I took my time progressing to the intermediate level and never felt overwhelmed. Now I really enjoy working out with the classes on my mp3 player and I can take my daily workout with me wherever I go.
