This DVD is certainly aimed at men and is fantastically taught to target their needs."
"Most men are surprised to know that they have a pelvic floor, that their sexual performance, shape and strength can be improved by Pilates, as well as their stress levels reduced" says 39yr old mother of 2, Lindsey.

As a sports lover who has suffered many injuries, and is looking for alternatives which can stimulate and strengthen wihtout causing further damage, I have found this DVD the exact thing that I was looking for, and the excercise in it surprisingly challenging. The relaxation section is also excellent. The explanations are very clear to follow. And if you are like me, and don't like to excercise with music in the background - it may be turned off!

I think that the real value for using this DVD as a man, is it's emphasis on developing suppleness and flexibility in the body, and not just muscle mass and strength. Any insinuation that Pilates is in the least bit sissy for men, can soon be dispelled by visiting a local hospital, fitness centre, or football physiotherapy room. Where methods akin to pilates are used for recovery form injury, and more importantly to prevent injury in the first place.
So I think pilates is more of the preventative method to enable the body to be come both flexible & supple, and develop strength appropriately aligned to ones own physical type. Not to neccessarily look like Mr.Universe.
The DVD and content is excellent and easy to use. Calm and at a pace that is steady and not rushed at all. The blokes look like regular guys, and it's fun.
the only thing that I would advise people to do, is because the exercises can be with the head on the ground, one is forever craning the neck to look at the telly! So I would definitely watch the DVD a good few times, memorise each exercise, and save yourself the need to crane the neck up to see what you should be doing! After all, don't want any neck injuries do we? Then one can follow the prompts from the presenters voice. Just a thought.
Cheers.

Agree with the more negative comments unfortunately, you are expected to do intermediate to hard pilates exercises and look at the tv at the same time, it doesnt work.
The pilates for men book is much better and unfortunately the dvd has not added to any exercise routines i will be doing.
As i said previously there is no basic level routine and the workout is over an hour long, why is there not a 20-30 min workout as well.

Great, but you need the time and space
A great DVD with its content and instructional aspects both excellent. However, you do need to watch it before use to get familiar with the exercises. Read more
