Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 afternoon all,just got fat burning pilates from netflix by kathy smith. this is re-release of older workouts usually combined 3 at a time. this offers two of her pilates workout pilates for abs and pilates for lower body as well as her fat burning breakthrough cardio step interval/light weight workout. i went for pilates for abs. this workout isn't very different in that the exercises and even the sequencing is pretty similar to other videos out there. kathy smith takes the time to go over technique and explain form and posture before each exercise. this would be a great for beginner with some experience/intermediates. she starts warming up with breathing and going over engaging or scooping the pelvic/abs and squeezing your "bikini butt". (and taking a peak at the lower body routine,its the same warm up). she then begins with one hundreds and roll ups(also beginning the routine for lower body workout) then she does the usual roll in like a ball, single leg stretch,double leg stretch, leg lowering, bicycles, and scissors. i didn't get the rep count nor does she mention but i assume 10-12 b/c that is what it felt like mostly. she also does bridges and swan for a few reps as well as your traditional go to pilates move the teaser. kathy has a background exerciser showing a harder variation then what kathy is doing but neither really do the full out advanced variation that i am used to seeing in other workouts. the warm up is roughly 6 min and actual workout is about 20 min so its not long at all.taking a peak at lower body(but not doing it) i saw she does your traditional movements like leg kicks,leg circles, leg lifts and one leg bridges as well. some of the exercises i noticed work the lower back(IIRC i think they did swimming as well) so its something i might throw in on thursday or saturday. but thursday morning i will def. make the point to try fat burning breakthrough!have a great one kassia ldy_solana's domainScouting for All Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people they don’t like.-Will You rock.
