Stott Pilates Sculpt and Tone DVD

Stott Pilates has produced a series of Pilates flex band workout DVD’s. In this article I will focus on the Stott Pilates Sculpt and Tone DVD. I have watched a number of other Pilates workouts and I think that Stott Pilates is the best that I have tried, so I wanted to check out this DVD.

I think that Moira Stott has done a great job of including a number of different workouts in her flex band workout program. Instead of only focusing on the abdominals, her workouts include exercises which work to tighten and strengthen other important muscle groups including the biceps, pecs, triceps, and leg muscles, offering a total body workout.

What I have liked about Moira Stott’s DVD’s in the past is that she has a strong focus on good form. This DVD is no different and she is repeatedly emphasising how to breathe properly and what posture you should have to complete each exercise.

All the Pilates workouts in the video make use of Flex bands. I have heard them also called Thera-bands, Pilates bands, Resistance bands, and Exercise bands, which all refer to the same band.

Beginners always ask questions about how to grip flex bands, how much tension to create, where to anchor the bands for different workouts and so forth. All these questions are put to rest with this workout video, as Moira Stott workouts are demonstrated well and are professionally produced.

You will need to buy the Stott Pilates flex bands separately. They come in two different tensions (green/blue). If you feel the workouts are not tough enough with the green bands which are designed for beginners, attempt the same workouts with the blue bands which offer added resistance. I like the Stott Pilates flex bands because other brands tend not to be long enough for some Pilates exercises, but I have never had a problem with these bands. I have also had other brand bands snap in half, and the Stott pilates flex bands seem strong enough.

Conclusion

If you are new to Pilates workouts then you will find great value in getting the Stott Pilates Sculpt and Tone DVD.
