5 Stars Great stress-reliever!
I bought system 17 instead of 7 because I had gone for 2 full courses on Pilates beginners. System 17 proved to be challenging but yet doable for a beginner going on to intermediate Pilates. What I like about this DVD is Rael’s clear instructions, most of the time, I don’t even need to follow what’s on screen…by listening to his voice, I can do the movements alongside. Though it can be quite challenging at times, but once you persevere right to the very end of his session, you will feel so much relaxed and rejuvenated. You can just feel that your body is screaming away saying that it’s happy and fulfilled!
5 Stars Rael is Real
This Pilates dvd is the closest I’ve come to my awesome pilates instructor at the gym (beginer).
5 Stars The “Rael” Thing
I have been doing this DVD off and on for about a year now. Even if you do not complete the pilates demonstrated, you can breathe when instructed and still learn a lot. The accompanying music helps guide the flow of pilates.
As a growing investor in home DVD workouts and mind-body buff, it is a comprehensive 35 minute set of stretches. For me, it permits my body to gently inform my mind of what is aching. Consider my bias though, I am a mat pilates die-hard fan.
At this point, I have done this DVD work out with someone watching me from the couch, a 2 year old under my legs, and a cat dangling off the side of the pilates mat. It is a good “one size fits all” and thus one of my favorite ways to start the day. All you need is some loose clothing, a flat surface to do the exercises, and something to play the whole thing.
5 Stars Intermediate Pilates users, delight!
Intermediate Pilates students will appreciate RAEL PILATES SYSTEM 17, which covers 17 poses for strength and flexibility. Ten additional poses are added to the basics: leg circles, cat stretch and more. Any with the basics down will easily move beyond with SYSTEM 17 on the box!
5 Stars Fabulous
Rael is the best!!!!! His voice is so soothing, confident and commanding. This just takes 40 minutes, so if you want to get centered in the morning or a quick workout between getting home and dinner - this is for you! If you do this every day or at least five days a week you’ll notice a difference
