Winsor Pilates: The Back Workout

DVD: Winsor Pilates The Back Workout! Flexibility & Strenghtening. Your Body Slim. Product Description

Helped my back

I sprained my backed last year and after weeks of physical therapy I found very little relief. After one session of doing this workout I felt a difference that kept getting better. My posture after day one was remarkable. I'm having less and less pain in my lower back. I'm moving a bit more freely and not so stiff and I could not be happier. I think it is worth buying if you have back issues and your back is really bad some of these moves might not be what you need. So please check with the doctor first. I think I'm ready for regular Pilates now. I'll give the original 20 minute workout a try. April 25, 2008

Not my Favorite

I'm a huge fan of Pilates, and love Mari Winsor, but was incredibly disappointed in this particular DVD. Since I have tightness in my neck and shoulders, and ocassionally my lower back, I thought I'd give it a try. The routines are designed for those who are unable to do normal pilates exercises, and since that is not me, I found the work-out to be too simple for me and therefore unhelpful. Although I do feel more relaxed after using this video, I do not feel my back is getting any stronger, and that is what I'm aiming for.

If you want a simple, relaxing, back and leg stretching DVD, this is it. If you want back strengthening and stretching, I've found Yoga DVDs that focus on the back to be a lot more helpful. If you like pilates, stick with Mari's other DVDs. August 12, 2007
