Reddit reviews Lindsey Jackson's: Pilates Essentials

I can't praise pilates enough. It seems like a silly exercise until you try, and you realize how challenging it is. Then the instructor comes along and comments "actually, on this hip flexor movement, you are not supposed to roll over your hip to the side, to isolate the muscle. Try not rolling and keeping your pelvis looking to the front all the time" (or something along the lines) and she corrects your form.

And then you try the corrected form with all the focus you can muster: and you discover a whole new level of challenge and awesomeness and complete just one or two more rep and discover a muscle you never had is being worked out with incredible intensity and focus.

You finish your session, and you walk out of the room taller than tall, with the straighter and stronger back you never knew you had!

To sum it up: You step into your car after Pilates, and have to readjust your mirrors to see the road. That's how upright tall you are now!

For those who like to train at home, I recommend this DVD: Lindsey Jackson's: Pilates Essentials. She explains very well technique and is very clear.

Anyone else any other recommendation for Pilates or DVDs?
