Customer Reviews of Breakthru: Core-Conditioning Pilates

Liked the workout, not boring.
After doing the Windsor Pilates for about a year, I decided to try someone different. I have done Tracey York's workouts in the past and found them challenging but not impossible with repeat workouts. The presentation was slow at times but they can be fast forwarded. I really liked the workout and felt it was more targeted than the Windsor's. I will be trying some of the other workouts. Tracey and Michelle worked well together and taking turns made it easier to get to "know" both the instructors.

Pleasant introductory routine with instructional pauses
This is a fairly nice introductory video, with nice instruction and reminders about form and breathing. It goes a little slow, with pauses and instructions in between some of the exercises (not all). Some of the exercises are very challenging. I've been working out for a solid month every day, and was not able to do a few of them, so beginners may have to skip or modify some exercises (or better yet...get a more appropriate beginners video). The instructors are encouraging but don't make many suggestions for modifications. <

>Overall, an OK pilates video, but you can do better for both instructional quality (see instructor Ana Caban) or non-stop routines without pauses. I checked this one out from my local library, and after trying it out, I wouldn't buy it. Netflix does have this title available for rental.

Challenging for all levels.
The instruction is fabulous. I've applied tips from this DVD to my other Pilates DVD(Jennifer Kries' Perfect Mix). The workout is 40 minutes long and definitely do-able for all fitness levels. They provide challenging (and easier) modifications to accommodate varying fitness levels. This is a Pilates workout you can definitely grow with. It makes an excellent first Pilates DVD. I feel a pleasant burn following this workout, especially in the upper abs, rib area, and obliques. The soundtrack is wonderful...with a more classical bent and beautiful singing at the cooldown. The music enhances (and doesn't distract you from) this great workout.
