Pilates For Life [DVD] [2013]

Product Information

Very active - You exercise almost every day of the week doing high intensity training such as running, spinning, team or competitive sports. Ballet dancer and Strictly Come Dancing judge Darcey Bussell quite simply loves it, and anyone who picks up the Pilates for Life will too. She was promoted to the rank of Principal Dancer and is recongnised as one of the greatest British ballerinas of all time. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds. I did find if you do the warm up and cool down it still takes too long, but once you're used to her exercises I think the short routine on its own is fine.

We track calories and 7 key nutrients - carbs, sugar, fibre, protein, fat, saturated fat and sodium. We are then taken through a warm-up, given various pilates techniques, a full routine, plus routines targeting specific body parts and finally a warm-down. I have a complete aversion to Workout videos, seeming to me like a cheap way of cashing in on `celebrity` popularity.Maybe you'd like to dance, or know someone who would love to feel better taking twenty minutes to dance with someone guiding them? We are introduced to Darcey at her home in South Africa with some lifestyle footage with her family as she explains her passion for pilates. We're together every Monday, TWO sessions left, to and including 5th December, at 1250 in the Linbury Studio. The exercises are helpfully grouped together and the pictures are brilliant, there is no difficulty in understanding the exercises at all, and therefore absolutely no excuse not to get stuck in! It was a great introduction and has 3 different routines (I think) depending on how well you are doing.

Rather than speaking directly to camera while you follow the exercises, she gives the commentary separately and calmly with classical music in the background.I just wanted a book to give precise and detailed instructions with plenty of photographs to illustrate the point. Featuring classical music excerpts from the likes of Debussy, Mozart, Massenet, Chopin, Favre and Satie.
