The Firm Pilates Band works wonders, and you'll be amazed at the results. Use it with the exclusive Firm Sculpt & Tone Pilates DVD workout for an even faster, visible difference. The gradual stretching movements give you slender thighs, flat abdominals and a strong back, along with better overall strength, deeper flexibility and dancer-like balance ? all with zero impact. The band and DVD slip neatly into small spaces for travel, so you can take them anywhere you go.
Included in kit: 1 Intermediate Pilates Band and 1 Firm Sculpt &Tone Pilates DVD
I am so excited about getting this product! I can already see my arms and inner thighs becoming more toned, and those are the two areas I've been focusing on. I love that it is SO easy to use the band in my own home; I watch tv while I do the exercises. The only downside is that the band is a little bit longer than I'd like, so sometimes I have to wrap it around my hands to make it the right length. I am also shorter than average, so it may not be a problem for taller women.
I don't have access to a gym and find it hard to really work out back muscles. With this I just have to anchor it to something and I can work the same muscles that I would using a gym machine. I haven't used the DVD at all, but I did watch it one time through. Might be good for a quick work out.
The video is great..lol Full instructions with exersizes on using the bands. It does suggest you watch the video first before starting..so thats as far I got! So much for fine in 09..!
I have used this at home, in the park, and in the gym. It's the perfect amount of resistance for me (regular exerciser but no gym rat) and the padded handles make it much more comfortable to use than the ones with the plastic tubing handles. We use these in my exercise class, too, and I never cease to be amazed by how many different muscle groups we can hit with this one little, light, portable piece of equipment. I haven't done the routine on the CD that comes with it but it does look good as well (and was an added bonus I didn't realize was included).
