Rating: - The basics of building core strength and great flexibility
NEW BODY! PILATES BEGINNER MAT WORKOUT covers the basics of building core strength and great flexibility for better posture and appeal, and can be done in 35-minute instructions.
Rating: - Beginner Pilates Workout
If you are looking for a workout that makes you feel taller and leaner then Jennifer Kries has a lot to offer. In "New Body Pilates" the Goddess of Pilates guides you through two workouts. While this is for beginners there are still some challenges for intermediates. In the first workout you may recognize these classic exercises:
Roll-Ups
Leg Circles
Rolling like a Ball
Double Leg Stretch
Bridge
Spine Stretch Forward
Side Series
Bent Leg Teaser
Seal
Jennifer Kries' nurturing teaching style keeps you focused while you feel like you are exercising with a personal trainer. Most of the exercises have modifications so you never feel that you have to push your body further than it will let you go.
In the second workout, the creative use of a magic circle (looks like a steering wheel) gives your thighs an excellent workout. When you stand up after this workout you can literally feel the results. Both workouts give you better posture and help you to slim, tone and sculpt your entire body.

Rating: - New Body! Pilates, thank you!
Whatever Jennifer is teaching, I want to learn it! Her confidence, her depth of knowledge (of anatomy, energy and Pilates itself), her experience and encouragement shine through every exercise and every explanation. I've never been able to say this about an instructor on a fitness dvd, but it is an honor to call her my teacher. That I trust her so completely has enabled me (right from the start) to begin to trust my own body in a way that I never have before Jennifer Kries: New Body Pilates - Beginners Mat Workout and that has allowed me to make unbelievable progress.
"Class" begins with proper breathing techniques and the fundamentals of Pilates. Jennifer's "students" demonstrate correct (as well as incorrect) poses, advanced beginner as well as basic beginner, and although I am more of an intermediate Pilates practioner, Jennifer's meticulous cueing sometimes "catches" me doing something incorrectly and underscores the importance in Pilates (and everything in life) of getting the fundamentals right. Her manner of teaching is so personal, so natural and assured that although she is teaching by way of a dvd, somehow I feel as if she is speaking directly to me.
You can see by their spontaneous smiles that Jennifer's "students" admire her and are also having fun. Her teaching has the same effect on me! (I think if she could see me she would be genuinely pleased.)
I'm new to the innocent-looking Magic Circle and I can honestly say that it gives me the fastest ... Read More
Rating:  - A decent beginning-level Pilates mat workout
NOTE. The Pilates segments on this DVD appear on previously released Jennifer Kries videos: the main Pilates workout is from Hot Body Cool Mind Level 1, and the bonus Pilates Magic Circle segment is from Hot Body Cool Mind Waking Energy.
The main workout on this DVD is a 34-minute Pilates matwork sequence. Jennifer Kries, who is instructing three background exercisers, starts by providing an overview with basic Pilates principles, including breathing and form--an important feature for those new to Pilates. Following this, Jennifer leads the class through a fairly standard mat practice which mostly follows classical Pilates sequencing, although she adds some stretches, decreases the repetitions, shows modifications, and performs only 3 of the Series of 5 exercises. Overall, this workout is most appropriate for beginners, although Jennifer includes some good form reminders that even more experienced Pilates practitioners may find useful.
Also included on this DVD is a 14-minute bonus Pilates Magic Circle segment: here Jennifer instructs one male and one female background exerciser in a nice little full-body workout using the Pilates circle or ring. The first half is performed in a standing position, first working the upper body with the ring between your hands, then the lower with the ring between your legs. There were some unique variations here that I haven't seen in other Pilates ring workouts. The second half of this workout is a short matwork sequence. Jennifer ... Read More
