## Description

Joseph Pilates developed a unique fitness system combining aspects of martial arts, gymnastics, yoga and ancient Greek training techniques, focusing on the coordination of the body, mind and spirit. Pilates practiced what he called "The Art of Contrology" until his death in 1968, at the age of 88. He left his studio - and his legacy as a trainer, teacher and innovator - to his student and colleague Romana Kryzanowska. Today, the conditioning system bears his name, is one of the most popular and fastest growing fitness methods in the world. Known simply as PILATES, its leading teacher and practitioner is also recognized by only one name, ROMANA.  For nearly half a century Romana has traveled around the world, teaching this true Pilates method that she learned directly from "Uncle Joe". Her clients include athletes, dancers and celebrities. Even the most successful Pilates teachers and other fitness experts regularly come to Romana for advanced instruction and certification in the Pilates method. Now, for the first time, Romana has created a video series for home use.  There are three words to describe Pilates:  - Stretch - Strength - Control  Introduction to Pilates Matwork There's no better way to get started on Pilates at home than with a 1-on-1 from the grand mistress of the true Pilates method. Romana's Pilates: Introduction to Matwork will guide you step-by-step through the basics of Pilates. You'll discover your Powerhouse and what it means to you overall well-being. You'll develop a positive mind-set, while stretching and strengthening your muscles. Romana's Pilates will get you on a path to improved health and fitness.  - Easy to Learn - Fun to do - Builds Strength - Sparks Energy  Special Features:   - Wake Up Routine - Documentary - Photo Gallery - Trailers  "Done three times a week, a few well-designed movements, properly executed in sequence, are worth hours of calisthenics or contortions! Whatever your fitness level, I'll help you establish a workout that you'll truly enjoy. I'm proud of what a lifetime of practicing Pilates has done for me. Now let me show you what Pilates can do for you." - Romana  Also Available: Romana Pilates:  - Optimum Weight Management - Powerhouse Mat Workout - Mat Challenge Workout  Reviews:  "Romana is to Pilates what Madonna is to pop music."

    Good for basic moves
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2008*

This is a good introduction video that walks you through basic moves.I found that there was more documentary than exercise.Great to hear from someone that actually practice with Joseph Pilates.

    Where is the workout?
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2014*

I am fairly new to pilates but have watched several videos.  I like the ones that give modified versions of a move but still offer a workout.  I am disappointed in this video because it is more of a warm-up than a workout....three repetitions of a move is about it and I would guess it is just a ten minute routine.  If it were easier to fast forward to the "workout" portion I truly would use it as a warm up.  I was i was excited because in the beginning it shows an actual class being done by several with Romana instruction.  But that was a "teaser"  Alas, none of that follows.  I found it interesting to hear the background and "meet"Ms. Romana but what is that 5 minutes worth?  Perhaps her more advanced workouts would be worth buying but now I am skeptical.  The title says it all:  introduction to Pilates Matwork.  So do not expect an actual full routine.  Watch it once for correct form and overview and to hear the history, then resell or give it away.
