This review is from: Gaiam Pilates BodyBand Workout Kit with DVD
If you are like me, you want to obtain maximum results in a relatively short time. Ana Caban's BodyBand workout does just that for me. I have been practicing Pilates for 12 years, initially in a class setting, followed by Videos and DVDs. This workout is always challenging to me. This may be due to the fact that I can increase the intensity by increasing (or decreasing - for abdomen work) the tension in the bodyband.
It is oxymoronic, but workouts with Ana Caban (or Moira Stott or Hilary Burnett) are *relaxing* to me, even if they are intense (intermediate or advanced). Knowing the Pilates "poses" in a DVD allows me to better focus on form, and correct form yields better results. I own approximately 15 Pilates workouts. This is one of my favorites and I use it often. I travel a good bit for business. When I do, I always bring this workout.
Length: Approximately 30 minutes
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Results: Consistent use of this DVD once per week will result in well defined biceps, triceps and deltoids; increased abdominal and back strength; and toning in hips, upper thigh and calf.
Bottom line: a great workout, well worth the time and the price...

This is a nice set with the three graduated bands. The workout is relaxing but seems to hit all muscle groups....
This review is from: Gaiam Pilates BodyBand Workout Kit with DVD
The workout in this DVD almost has no back extensions and no clear instructions for the posture. Therefore, some movements can easily cause back problem.
However, the DVD has a fitness approach rather than the traditional pilates approach. If you would like to have a real pilates workout, I wouldn't recommend this DVD....
