5 star review My Favourite Pilates DVD
August 2011
  I have found your DVD really helpful and gentle and the instructions very clear. I go on to your website from time to time to see if you have made another one. It would be good to have a different routine at the same sort of level. I have tried other DVDs and find them quite good but yours I really enjoy. I have also attended classes but I do prefer your DVD which at seventy eight is helping to keep me mobile.

5 star review This worked very well for me
Nov 2010
  As a very late beginner I can work at my own pace. It is so helpful to be reminded of the important co-ordination of breathing with movement. I believe that even after a few weeks I am finding a general improvement and I feel I have reason to be optimistic about enhancing my general well-being in the longer term, which is pretty good news when you're 82!

5 star review Very good - perfect pace for me

  I found the DVD really good and it helped me after my operation. Because you speak and do the exercises slowly I could follow it easily. I found it great!"

  Really good for those of us recovering from a surgery that prohibits us from doing a more aerobic type exercise.

5 star review Excellent Dvd - easy to follow
7 Feb 2009
  I have watched this Dvd many many times, I found it so easy to follow, each exercise was broken down into easy to remember segments, I felt re-vitalised after and will definately keep at it. I loved it so much, I actually bought copies for all members of my family who are now regular participants and enjoy it equally as much as me.

5 star review Easy to understand and follow
22 Dec 2008
  This has helped me with back pain and created an awareness of the importance of deep breathing and maintaining correct posture. Liz provides a understandable explanation of the basics of Pilates. In addition, there is an excellent selection of floor and vertical exercises to observe and then follow. In following the clear and concise instructions that Liz gives for these exercises, I am more confident I am doing them correctly. 

Watching Janet, Syliva & Derek, people in my age range, doing the exercise with such ease is very encouraging. I also found the interviews to be reassuring and enjoyable. 

I have strengthened my core muscles which in turn helps the back pain and maintaining correct posture. The practice of deep breathing is helpful with pain, stress and provides an overall feeling of wellness. In addition to doing regular work sessions, doing deep breathing with a few exercises will alliviate pain experienced after sitting or standing for an extended time. Pilates & deep breathing has changed my life and I look forward to a sequel. Try it!

5 star review An excellent DVD
10 Dec 2008
  An excellent DVD which provides a clear and concise explanation of the basics of Pilates. Liz's instructions for the exercises are easy to follow and observing folks my own age has been very encouraging. It has helped me to strengthen my core muscles which in turn has helped my back pain. In addition to doing a regular work session, doing the deep breathing with a few exercises will alleviate pain I experience after sitting or standing for an extended time. It's very easy to listen to and it works...try it! I have recommended this DVD to all my friends.

5 star review Highly recommend this DVD
21 Jul 2008
  Before watching this DVD, I had never been to a gym or attended an exercise class in my life but, having just turned 70, I thought it was time to get a bit fitter. I found the instructor beautifully clear and easy to follow and I felt the benefits of the exercises after only one week. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone over 50 (or 70!).

5 star review A must have Pilates DVD

  This is an excellent DVD and not just for the over 50s - ideal for anyone new to the Pilates technique as very clear and consise. As a Pilates instructor myself I will definitely recommend to my clients.

5 star review Excellent
8 Mar 2008
  I loved this DVD - it was wonderfully clear and easy to follow, the pace was perfect and best of all it works. I have found that after regular use it has improved my posture, really strengthened those 'core muscles', (no more flabby tummy!) helped with my back problems and also the breathing has improved my asthma so much that I no longer use my inhaler at all. Highly recommended.

  Precise and Clear
28 Mar 2008
  I liked the Pilates class for those with back problems, when I got there. It did gradually improve my back, my posture and my general well being. It really did prove beneficial and also enjoyable. I now attend a class at a local Health Club. It is true that one does need expert direction and I wanted the DVD to do some at home - that is why I ordered your DVD. I think it will work as a supplement to my once weekly classes. The instructions are precise and clear.

5 star review A great introduction to Pilates and a friendly guide.
  Excellent! I highly recommend this DVD. Liz Chandler is an inspiring teacher and the workout is extremely effective. She talks very clearly in a friendly manner and explains everything so you understand why you are doing it. Firstly she explains the principles behind Pilates then she goes on to lead you gently through a series of standing and mat exercises.
Although the DVD is aimed at over 50's it works equally well as an introduction for anyone. The clients she uses are older people and actual clients of hers rather than models and at the end there is a section where they are each interviewed and they give their thoughts on their physical background, how they got into Pilates and how it has benefited them.
