3 Stars A Beginner’s Work-out
I think this is a good video for beginners. It’s like watching a video in slow motion — she goes through the poses at a very slow pace with way too much time passing before moving on to the next pose. I also didn’t feel that the poses itself were challenging enough.
5 Stars Great Workout
At first it I had to really concentrate on Louise’s accent but there are also subtitles and after the first couple of times through the workout she becomes easier to understand. I like the combination of yoga and pilates and working with the thera band for extra resistance. I am just getting back into exercising and suffer from Myofascial Pain Syndrome but find the majority of the moves not stressful on my back or other joints and I feel much better after the workout. As Louise says, you need to listen to your body and work at your own pace.
2 Stars Too Slow
I love Yoga and wanted to add Pilates, but this was just too slow. Like others I thought she talked too much. For someone who needs EXTREMELY detailed instruction, this would be a great video. For me, there was too much downtime for me to feel like I had any type of exercise.
2 Stars slooooooooooow
The moves done are fine, and explained well, but I think all this Louise Solomon does is talk. I prefer more movement and less talk on my exercise videos. I have several other videos that are not this slow.
1 Star Am I the only one who seriously hates this DVD?
I wish I’d seen the review titled “SNOOZE” before I blew 2 bucks on this. The vast majority of reviews were filled with adoration, so it was a huge let down when I tried this DVD and found it insanely dull, slow, boring, and a terrible waste of time. If you are injured or ill, I imagine this is the workout for you but I fail to see how anyone who heavily exercises would benefit. Even as a light stretching DVD it fails for me and I’m no yoga-pro.
I just wasted an hour of my life and I WANT THAT HOUR BACK so I can spend it on an effective workout.
Sorry to be a downer, but I severely doubt any strength, flexibility, toning, or weightloss could be gained from this DVD. I really want that wasted hour back.
