Familiar pilates moves with extra toning benefits!
This is quite a cool kit consisting of one DVD and a set of special
weights - 2lbs each which may not sound like much but you will feel it
when you use them in the workouts!

It is recommended that you do the DVD first without the weights so that
you familiarize yourself with the moves but if you are at all familiar
with Pilates then this might not be necessary - I have been using the MTV
Pilates DVDs for a number of years and so the moves used here were already familiar.

The DVD is broken up into three 15 minute workouts, two are floor workouts and one requires you to be standing. Because they are segmented, you could do one 15 minutes workout on it's own and you will feel a benefit or you could do the workout all the way through for a full length session for maximum effect.

So what does this workout actually do? It will help you to tone up your
arms, back, stomach, buttocks, legs - basically everything! I definitely
felt it in the arms more than anywhere else though. If you have back
issues, you may find some of the exercises too intense when using the
weights. The DVD is quite mellow so it's fairly relaxing. I still prefer
my usual MTV Pilates DVD to this I have to admit but this is great in
terms of being able to 'mix up' your workouts during the week.

I purchased the kit for twenty pounds which I think is a reasonable price for a pair of toning weights and a DVD with a 50 minute workout created especially for use with the weights. To pay any more than this I think would be unreasonable so shop around!
