4.0 out of 5 stars a great advanced Pilates workout, 11 Mar 2005

By	"sheenaghantonis2" - See all my reviews

This DVD is NOT for the complete beginner - there is no real explanation of the basics of Pilates eg posture and breathing, and only a really sketchy mention of the muscle groups involved. However, if you have been doing Pilates for a while and want something more challenging by someone who knows their stuff I would recommend Fit Chic.

Niedra, an ex-ballet dancer, has over a decade of Pilates teaching experience and the streamlined limbs to prove it. What she can do with her bendy body is beyond belief! Like the British ballet dancer Darcey Bussell, she discovered the benefits of Pilates when recovering from a professional injury.

Fit Chic is divided into two parts. Firstly the routine is designed like a dance to flow uninteruptedly from one position into another with specially composed music. No verbal cues are given which I would have preferred and stopped it getting 5 stars - otherwise it is excellent. There are 'sawing' motions at the end of some stretches which are a bit worrying - I was always told not to 'bounce' when stretching, but I assume she knows more about this than me.

The second part of the DVD is where Niedra gives the instructions for each exercise separately. There is an index so you can skip straight to the one you want. Lots of variations are given to make the exercises more or less challenging. It can be a bit hard to remember these when doing the routine but you can follow the second part for a complete workout until you are up to the speed of the first part routine.

I found Fit Chic especially tough on the thighs and great for hip stretches. I also vary it with slower, more basic routines to make sure I am still using the correct muscles because some of the positions are fun but take a lot of concentration. Check out amazon.com for more reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick pilates, 3 April 2006

By A Customer

I liked this pilates dvd as it takes just 20 minutes to complete, which for a busy working mum is really important. All the other pilates dvds I have bought take much longer. While some dvds may spend more time on explanations or stretching etc, it is time I don't have. 20 minutes is easier to squeeze into a busy day than the hour long sessions of most other pilates dvds. Consequently, I use it much more often and have had terrific results.
