Reviews
“Originally designed to be a dancer’s workout, Pilates classes now add in some traditional yoga and basic toning exercises. Ease into Pilates does just that: it’s a good introduction to many of the basics, with the added advantage of the DVD format. Play the whole thing straight through, or skip to different sections in whatever order you choose. Especially useful are the top menu choices and the ease with which you can get to exactly where you want to be in the workout. Instructor Katrina Stachowski provides solid instructions on position and movement. Highly recommended for public libraries with active (or dated) fitness collections.” – Library Journal“In this user-friendly introduction to beginner’s Pilates exercises, instructor Katrina Stachowski leads a small group of women of varying skill levels through a routine that is neither difficult nor time-consuming- with attention to safety, and alternative moves for the less flexible demonstrated throughout. While geared towards newcomers, this would also be welcomed by those who simply want to incorporate Pilates into their regular exercise regimen. Recommended.” – Video Librarian
