Pilates

With interest in Pilates exercise and training at an all time high, several excellent trainers and resources have made their way onto our radars. One of the most high profile of these has been Mari Winsor. Famous for her Sculpt Your Body Slim series of instructional DVDs sold on television broadcasts. With the clout of TV ads created with marketing powerhouse Guthy-Renker behind her, Mari has gone global and taken Pilates into the stratosphere. Through her work as a trainer with celebrated clients like Melanie Griffith and Patrick Swayze and many rock stars and professional athletes Mari Winsor has placed herself in a class of her own. We will now examine whether all that work with fancy pants famous clients is of any benefit to you!

Firstly, when it comes to something as technical as Pilates it goes without saying hopefully that some instruction is always a good idea. Pilates authorities stress the need for experienced and properly certified trainers. Having someone who learned from a tape themselves isnt the ideal solution. But then again, having access to a world class teacher is not always possible at your local Y. So ta-da! The home fitness DVD revolution comes to your rescue. Where else could you hope to get the benefits of a world class teacher that (thanks to the pause and rewind button) will keep on repeating it until you get it right? Plus you get their undivided attention without the repeat fees of a gym membership.

However, there is the danger of getting bored and unmotivated when the DVD can simply sit there in the slipcase unwatched. So if you think that youll miss the companionship there is no reason why you cant get a friend or two to join you in your exercise time to make it fun. Winsor Pilates certainly caters for the beginner so you need not worry you need to be able to make yourself into the shape of a pretzel from day one. Plus with the deep muscle exercise Pilates is famous for youre likely to see results in as few as ten sessions. Which is pretty good motivation. Its no wonder Pilates is often the exercise of choice with film stars and athletes who need to get toned in a hurry. And Mari should know better than most how to make that a reality.

So to round up, Winsor Pilates tapes are a great help to getting you started on that long and lean dancer look. Mari Winsor is not only the celebrity trainer to the stars, this experienced professional dancer still runs two packed working studios in Los Angeles practicing what she preaches and fine tuning the techniques that have made her a household name in fitness. But you wont have to fly to Los Angeles to get her expert tuition, just your local DVD shop. Bargain!
