Stott Pilates Zen Ga Flow DVD with the Mini Stability Ball



GREAT WORKOUT ALERT!!!
ZEN*GA FLOW w/the Mini Stability Ball is an advanced and well-varied total body workout. The usual breathing warm-up was thankfully omitted (proper breathing during Pilates IS important, but spending the whole warm-up on it is not), and new moves were introduced. After particularly strenuous exercises, Kim gave much needed recovery moves to relieve the tension. The 53-minute workout raised my heartrate at times because strength was needed to maintain certain positions, and I felt my core working extra hard with the exercises placing one foot on the ball. I got through 3/4 of the workout with relative ease, but when it came to lunges with one knee on the ball, that stability ball was anything but stable! Even though there were not a lot of alternative movements offered if you couldn't complete, I would still highly recommend ZEN*GA FLOW as an excellent addition to your workout program.

Annoying & repetitive dvd sequencing mars otherwise great workout dvd
The Zen Ga workout is fun, challenging and easy to learn. The instructor is calm and specific which is nice when you use a video repeatedly as I do. The intro credits and liability waiver are SO ANNOYING because you cannot skip them after the first viewing. No other workout intro is this bad. Its a real shame that every time I see the woman on-screen who developed this program (that I love) my reaction is total frustration as I am forced to sit through the opening and "agree" to the waiver over and over and over...
