Winsor Pilates Flexibility & Strengthening: The Back Workout

Great back exercises! Something you can do on a regular basis. I have a bad back with scoliosis and this helps me strengthen my back and reduce pain. It is low impact and so I combine it with Winsor's Pilates 20 min workout to give my back a little more exercise. Highly recommend this to everyone with or without scoliosis to keep your back in good strength - especially after 40! Keep yourself fit and healthy.

My acupuncturist recommended that I find a pilates instructor for dealing with an SI joint problem. I found one that will come into my home whenever I want her to. Mari Winsor pilates is better than having to pay $70.00 per hour for personal training and you can do it in the privacy of your own home. I am faithful about doing the stretches at least three times per week and I have seen a vast improvement in my flexibility and relief from pain.

Anytime I get a twinge in my back I do this dvd. If you have back problems please try it. It's not extremely physical but I think it's the sequence of exercise that just frees up your back. Anytime I have back pain I sit down with this dvd and the most it take is two times and my pain is gone. I originally got this dvd with the Mari Winsor pilates series. I was so afraid that my dvd would expire or have problems that I ordered another one and I give them as gifts.

In my opinion this Back Workout is not intended to be an extreme workout for the core and back, but is excellent for someone who might have a tight back or shoulders. I hurt my back last year and Winsor Pilates Back Workout was such a great find, it helped soothe the tightness and did help me relearn and strengthen my core muscles so that I could move up in intensity.A year later, I'm still using it several mornings each week to help keep the back muscles loose and more resistant to another injury.

Great instructor really like the Winsor pilates dvds

This is a good DVD though it wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought it was a workout, but it is more about caring for the back, keeping it strong and healthy. I have no trouble with my back, but plan to use this DVD every few weeks to keep it that way. I am going to loan it to a friend who has some back issues. I am anxious to see how it helps her.

I sprained my backed last year and after weeks of physical therapy I found very little relief. After one session of doing this workout I felt a difference that kept getting better. My posture after day one was remarkable. I'm having less and less pain in my lower back. I'm moving a bit more freely and not so stiff and I could not be happier. I think it is worth buying if you have back issues and your back is really bad some of these moves might not be what you need. So please check with the doctor first. I think I'm ready for regular Pilates now. I'll give the original 20 minute workout a try.

This is really relaxing, it almost feels yoga like. I haven't used it enough to say it has helped my back. But I do feel like it is a safe video for my back condition. Low impact.
