Pilates DVD Earns Acclaim from Video Librarian

The Janson Media DVD Katrina Fitness Presents... Ease Into Pilates was recommended in a recent review by Video Librarian. Pilates, a form of training that focuses on using multiple muscles simultaneously, was first introduced in the early 1900s by Joseph H. Pilates. What was once the big craze in exercise has endured to hold a lasting place in the mainstream. The DVD serves as the perfect introduction to Pilates for any fitness level. The positive review awards the title with a three and a half star rating.

'In this user-friendly introduction to beginner"s Pilates exercises, instructor Katrina Stachowski leads a small group of women of varying skill levels through a routine that is neither difficult nor time-consuming--with attention to safety, and alternative moves for the less flexible demonstrated throughout. Not a primer on the background or theories behind Pilates, this utilitarian program is comprised of four basic elements: warm-up, strength exercises, abdominals and back, and relaxation/cool down. While geared towards newcomers, this would also be welcomed by those who simply want to incorporate Pilates into their regular exercise regimen. Highly recommended'. - Video Librarian
