Book Reviews of Portable Pilates - Book and CD Set

Book Review: What a brilliant idea!
Summary: 5 Stars

It is just such a brilliant idea, to put an audio-CD with a book that includes really motivating and cute pictures. The spiral binind is excellent, the CD is motivating (however, if the excersices had been divided into different tracks it would have been even better. Now, the whole session is put on one track). As many have pointed out before, it is liberating not having to watch a TV-screen all the time for the excersice.

I have done several mat-classes before (although not with Ms Ungaro) and also in reformers (one-to-one)according to the Stott-Pilates program. I have also read a couple of books about the method before. So was rather familiar with Pilates before I bought this CD. It is definitely necessary to have some previous knowledge about Pilates before buying it.

I have to say that even though I have both the NYCB Work out 2 DVD, and the Portable Pilates, I am more inclined to do the Portable Pilates, simply because it is so relaxing and easy to just pop the CD on your player and start. You are focused on the movements and the voice instead of executing the movements, listening AND watching. I just hope that there will be another one out soon!

Summary of Portable Pilates - Book and CD Set

Pilates is probably the most sophisticated and sought after form of exercise today. Since the 1920's it has been used to strengthen and stretch the bodies of professional dancers and athletes alike. Now, after 75 years, Pilates has become mainstream, finding its way into people's homes through dozens of how-to books and videos. Yet, these instructional materials are incomplete. This CD provides the missing ingredient. It allows you to take an actual mat class under the direction and motivating voice of an experienced instructor with no equipment, no pages to turn and no TV required. Portable Pilates is a 45-minute mat class as taught at Alycea Ungaro's Real Pilates in New York City. Owner and certified instructor Ungaro conducts the class in clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Original music and creative sound effects provide the student with the necessary cues, tempo, and dynamic for each exercise. This item is intended for those with prior Pilates experience.
