YOUR NEEDS CHANGE EVERY DAY, SO SHOULD YOUR DVD!

This DVD is for anyone who considers themselves inflexible. Joseph Pilate developed his method not for people who were already flexible, but rather to help inflexible and/or injured people become more flexible, strong and healthy. Pilates Complete for Inflexible People™ is the perfect companion for anyone on this wonderful journey to increased health and vitality. A wide range of poses are taught and modified to help both beginning and intermediate students experience the benefits of Pilates. No matter how flexible you are, these customized workouts allow you to progress at your own pace. Includes remedial yoga sections to concentrate on flexibility.

The Interactive Personal Trainer™ revolutionizes the practice of Pilates in your home. This easy-to-use DVD allows you to select from over 15 workouts that are designed to adapt and fit into any busy lifestyle. Unlike other videos that may contain one or two workouts, this DVD contains over a dozen workouts of varied lengths and purposes. Whether your goals are to get into shape, relieve stress, or become stronger and more flexible, the Interactive Personal Trainer™ will be an invaluable resource for years to come.

Maggie Rhoades has a longtime interest in how to increase people’s flexibility, strength and health through Pilates. As both a certified Pilates and Yoga instructor, Maggie has developed new and innovative techniques that allows anyone to enjoy the benefits and the beauty of Pilates.

I Can Do Pilates
I had tried taking a class for Pilates but could not do what was going on, I am not very flexible and was a bit out of shape. Since I was still interested in trying I picked up this DVD after a friend mentioned it, and it was a good choice for me.

Maggie does a very good job of making Pilates accessible for someone like me and the Basics level really helped me get started in learning the moves - modified and paced for those who need extra help. Then the next section helped me improve more.

The extra sections for further work on flexibilty (some yoga which I also wanted to get around to try) was a nice plus. If you need extra help getting flexible and strong this is a good pick.

Pilates For Me
I had been working with another inflexiblle title and have made great gains so I thought I would try this one to learn pilates.

Very good selection of routines that are designed to start off with then another set when I got a bit stronger.

I liked the pace and instruction and finally can say I am stronger and not consider myself inflexible any more, so I will continue to work out to improve even further.

An Inflexible Man
I am pretty inflexible especially since I stopped working out awhile ago and now tyring to get back into it.

This is great in how it lays everything out clearly and addresses the needs of people like myself and I found myself getting stronger and more flexible after a a month and a half, so I am pleased with my progress though I have a way to go still.

I have tried pilates for dummies and loved it, this cd is an extention of that video with more moves.

Are you kidding?
I had high hopes for this dvd, and I was sorely disappointed. I'm giving it two stars because there is value in the material itself. Unfortunately, Maggie Rhoades' delivery is so ridiculously poor it overshadows everything else. Ever heard a second-grader read something with such a complete lack of fluency that you can't comprehend the sentence, even though you can understand each word? In a nutshell, that is Maggie Rhoades. Her pained grimace, her use of ridiculous jargon over simple language, the voiceovers that make parts of the video look like a dubbed foreign film, all make the dvd so irritating to try to follow as to be useless. Save your money.
