Description

Instructed by Australian Pilates practitioner Allan Menezes, this Pilates workout has been carefully designed for those suffering from lower back pain. Unlike many abdominal workouts, Pilates strengthen and tones the back muscles without causing stress to the spinal cord and surrounding areas. Like most Pilates workouts, this production emphasizes the importance of stretching and proper breathing techniques.There is no “workout”. The explanations are interwoven through the demonstration video, so there is much pausing between each exercise and therefore no “flow”.The instructor is very knowledgeable. He goes into a good explanation of posture and theory of Pilates and completely explains all of the moves with two subjects who demonstrate, and they also demonstrate variations on most of the movements for people who are even tighter or have more severe back issues.
