Gaiam Pilates BodyBand Workout Kit with DVD

Three different resistance bands allow you to isolate core muscles so you can build strength without “bulking up”, increase flexibility and improve your coordination, posture and stamina. Use the purple band for light resistance, the green band for medium resistance and the blue band for heavy resistance. Includes a DVD featuring Ana Caban who will show you can hone in on trouble zones and make fast work of sculpting your arms, legs and torso. Includes three 4″ x 6″ BodyBands and a 40 minute DVD.

5 Stars Ana’s BodyBand Workout: Intermediate Difficulty, Great Results
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
4 Stars Good product,
This is a good video to learn pilates techniques. However, I think it was a little too expensive for what you get. After just viewing the video twice, I had all the moves memorized.
5 Stars Complete workout
This is a nice set with the three graduated bands. The workout is relaxing but seems to hit all muscle groups.
4 Stars Nice Kit, Hard on Hands
This really is a great kit that comes with a good DVD. But am I the only one whose hands hurt from being squeezed by the bands?
