Jennifer Kries: New Body Pilates III

For a level three it's not that challenging. Plus, I wish instructors would clue in and stop instructing for first time viewing. They never seem to realize that you're going to be watching the video multiple times and the introductory cueing is going to get tedious. There's a lot of stop and go due to talking from the instructor in this and a ton of referencing to t the levels that came before. I never watched those levels so it's a little irritating. I would expect each video to stand on it's own and to be presented in a way I want to do again and again. The workout is okay. If you're advanced, this will feel like a beginning level. I hardly broke a sweat.

This series/ instructor is wonderful. She is calm, statuesque, and patient - at the end of her workouts, you feel like you've worked oput with your best friend rather than having been pummelled by some hyperperky blond thing that makes you feel inferior no matter what you do. This series is perfect for all ability types because she is so good at explaining everything she does, and you can go at your own speed. I lost 12 lbs. the first 2 weeks and was amazed to find that one could sweat like a dog on the space of a mat...

I love Jennifer Kries' style and Pilates workouts and have many of her DVDs. This is a great faster pace you would find in a Pilates class. I was expecting it to be a longer workout than 35 min though (the DVD says 1hr total, with a 9min extra workout). But it leaves enough time to add another activity and still get a good solid Pilates workout in. My favorite DVD is still her Pilates Precision Toning and Sculpting. It was the first one I bought years ago and still the best one (also has more reps per exercise).

After consistently working out 3-4 times a week for 5 years doing mostly barre (Physique 57, Tracey Mallett, Tracy Anderson, Jennifer Galardi, Barre 3, etc., along with more conventional fitness dvds from Jillian Michaels and Jari Love, among others), I found this high level of pilates refreshing and challenging in just the right amount. But what I'm happiest about is that all the moves are easy on my knees! I'm 55 and all those squats and lunges from the past 5 years are starting to take their toll so it's nice to take a break and work the muscles and flexibility in a new way. I highly recommend it!

It really spices up my usual Pilates routine I've been doing for years. This one adds some fun new challenging moves the old familiar moves. And I like Jennifer Kries. I've been using a lot of her workout programs including the older Method programs. She is as always perfectly beautiful, elegant, and professional. Love the workout.

whoa!!!! This DOES work your abs. I like Kries very much and am of moderate fitness and I can't finish the routine yet.

Jennifer does an excellent job of instructing you to do moves the correct way without hurting yourself.

Jennifer Kries always has quality material. This dvd is NOT for a novice. She always has great curing.
