Pilates Videos Their Advantages

Pilates is an exercise technique invented by Joseph Pilates, a
German National, who when he was arrested in France during the
first world war for being an enemy alien, invented a low
resistance type of exercises which was later coined after him,
Pilates. Joseph Pilates First used springs from beds to make the
first machine for Pilates. He alter moved to The United States
and opened his own Studio. Ever since then Pilates was on its
uphill climb, and now there are a variety of Pilates videos that
teach you at home rather than at a studio.

First of all the advantage of any Pilates video is its
adaptability. You can do it anywhere that has a DVD player and a
television. Especially for those people who don’t like going to
the gym, the Pilates video is really in improvement for those
that want to exercise in the comfort of their own home.

The disadvantages however, of a Pilates video are its lack of a
tangible instructor. The instructions given on the DVD can
hardly be enough of a substitute for an actual certified Pilates
instructor. All the troubles all the questions and the probable
injuries cannot all be covered by a single video, only a real
instructor could do that.

So if you really want to do Pilates videos at home, it is
advisable to first consult with an instructor, or probably take
gym Pilates classes, just to orient yourself with the procedure,
and then going on ahead to do it at home.

Winsor Pilates is one of the derivations of Pilates that has
itself on video. This is a form of Pilates modified by Mari
Winsor and claims to give results in 1 month, provided that you
use it three times a week. Most people who have used it actually
claim that it gives results in just two weeks.

Most people like Winsor Pilates, because, like other Pilates
Videos it can be done in one’s own home. In addition most people
nowadays, even if they do, do Pilates at homes till don’t have
enough time to exercise. One satisfied user, after using it
intermittently for 2 years, testifies to a healthier core, and
higher body strength, although no weight loss was observable,
provided his discontinuous usage, there we’re still good results
from its usage.

The other good thing about Pilates videos is that as you
progress in using it and using it continuously, meaning you’re
not lazy, you tend to memorize all the routines as you go. So
when you’ve memorized all the routines, you don’t really have to
strain you neck so much by looking at the TV. Another thing
about Pilates videos is their economy, you wont have to pay
monthly payments or gym memberships, all you need is the video
and you can use it for as long as you want, or until you want to
move on to another form.

Most Pilates exercises and Pilates videos are low intensity, you
can’t expect anything to strenuous form something that can be
done for physical rehabilitation. For most people, low intensity
workout for great results is already a great deal and would take
it without so much as batting an eyelash, but for those muscle
buffs who want a heavier workout, Pilates videos aren’t for you.
