Product Description

Amazon.com

Pilates focuses on strengthening the core or midsection, so a Pilates-based abdominal workout is a natural. The first of the three 10-minute sessions led by instructor Keli Roberts utilizes many of the classic Pilates moves: curls, leg circles, the 100, criss-crosses, a teaser sequence, and swan dive. The second set combines some traditional mid-section exercises with Pilates resulting in a mix of sit-ups, the can can, leg stretches, scissors, and rollups. Stabilization is the goal of the final and most difficult series, starting with rolldowns from a standing position, pushups, and rollups back up again. Other exercises use the plank and side positions and require both skill and balance. Fortunately, one of Roberts's assistants demonstrates modifications. With so many variations crammed into each short set, beginners may benefit from watching the exercises first and making liberal use of the pause button as they learn. --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite of the Quick Fix series...
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2006

If you are looking for a pilates video for your abs/core, this is a great choice. Keli Roberts leads 3-10 minute segments that target the entire area. She is joined by Lizbeth and Portia, who shows beginner modifications.

Section one is classic pilates, Keli starts you off with a breathing exercise, and asks you to maintain this breathing throughout all the exercises. The exercises included in this segment are single leg circles (which Lizbeth demonstrates for those with better flexibility), bridge (with added leg lifts and hip presses), hundred, leg lowers w/criss cross action, teasers, rollover, and swan dive.

Section two is called core combination, and the exercises you will see here are can can, rollup, single leg stretch, criss cross, double leg stretch, scissors, rolling like a ball, swimming, a neat twist on extended cat where you extend one arm and opposing leg to the side, and spinal work finishes out this segment.

Sections three is called stabilization and is the most difficult of the three. There are a good amount of planks here, plus pushups, breastroke, and a brief side kick series.

I like this DVD quite a bit, and I always do it in it's entirety, like other reviewers have said the time goes by really fast and I like the way it flows. I would rate this as intermediate, you do need to have some familiarity with pilates as there isn't any instruction so complete beginners should looks elsewhere. Keli Roberts does a really nice job with this video, she is very pleasant and encouraging without being overly perky. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should be called "Pilates Core"
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2003
First of all, I really think this workout should be called "Pilates Core" rather than "Pilates Abs", because that is exactly what it is. Don't get me wrong, this is a great workout, and you can get an excellent intermediate ab workout if you just do the last 5 minutes of workout 1 and the first 6 minutes of workout 2. The rest of the DVD seems to focus on core rather than just abs. There are three 10 minute workouts. Workout #1 is called Classical Pilates. This workout begins with some slow crunch type exercises, but then it goes into several minutes of single leg circles and some bridge type exercises. The last 5 minutes offer great exercises for the abs: hundreds with legs bent or out to 45%, criss-crossing leg lowers, and teasers. Workout #2 is called Core Combination. The first 6 minutes contains some more great ab work: crunches (halfway down, all the way up), roll downs, single and double leg stretch, scissors, and slow moving bicycle type exercise. After 6 minutes, you begin to work your back, glutes, and hamstrings with the swimmer. Then you do some cat back arches and some balancing table top exercises where you reach your right arm and left leg straight out and then repeat on the other side. Workout #3 is called Stabilization, and, to me, felt a lot like a core rather than an ab workout. It starts with standing forward bends, then you get into the plank position (here I thought, "Ok, here comes the ab work", but I was wrong because you begin to do pushups!). Then you lay on your stomach, stretch your abs, and do the breaststroke. This is followed by some table top exercises and some excellent core work while on your side. There is also some more plank work where you alternate lifting your legs.
Overall this is a great core workout, but if you want to focus on abs, you will have to work around some of the stuff on this DV

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2007
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent DVD, but here are a few pointers for prospective buyers before you try this one out -
Though there is some good encouragement on basic pilates principles (breathing, etc.), this is not a basic workout. Once you get about five minutes into the first segment, you start jumping into intermediate/advanced moves.
Second, the format is great in that you can have three separate workouts or one thirty minute, but if you are in good shape, you are probably going to want more, and pilates hard-core nuts are going to want something more whole-body. For example, this would work well to use it like I have - after weightlifting at the gym and use this for your core/ab stuff.
So, great for the time crunch, a bunch of concentrated intermediate/advanced pilates in a short period of time. Does what it says, a quick fix.

1.0 out of 5 stars Maybe as an add-on for the experienced Pilates person
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2004
1) 10 minutes is just not enough time to get a meaningful workout, especially one like Pilates.

2) Definitely NOT for beginners, especially when she throws in more advanced moves (such as the Teaser) without even mentioning that they're not for beginners. Newbies can get discouraged if they don't realize that tougher moves are being randomly thrown at them.

3) The instructor is annoying.

Very simple. Product ok. Distributer used not. The video was packed in a simple plastic back. No protection whatsoever. Surprise, surprise, upon arrival, although the DVD was still intact, the box was completely shattered.

I think this is a good workout for beginners. It gives solid instruction on correct form and breathing. I love the Quick Fix Total, but did not find this one challenging enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this DVD
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2015

I've bought this DVD so many times over the years (after losing or scratching up my old copies). It's just been my favorite pilates DVD I've ever tried. I think it comes down to the instructor in the videos a lot of the time, and I really like the woman in this video.

The video is challenging but its good because you can see yourself improving the more you do it. Highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but slightly dated
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2007
Verified Purchase
I like this dvd but it does seem slightly dated compared to some of my other pilates dvds, all matching outfits and cheesy smiles (Keli how you've improved) but if you can look past that though it is a good work out. Its probably intermediate level, if your not sure about finding your inner core muscles you might want to try a beginners dvd first. The countdown clock in the corners quite good so if your abs are burning (they will be) you know you've only got a few more minutes to go. I really like the 10 minute format for workout dvds it means you can fit it in anytime which is always usefull.
