   This really is a great kit that comes with a good DVD. But am I the only one whose hands hurt from being squeezed by the bands?

   This is a good video to learn pilates techniques. However, I think it was a little too expensive for what you get. After just viewing the video twice, I had all the moves memorized.

   This is a nice set with the three graduated bands. The workout is relaxing but seems to hit all muscle groups.

   If you are like me, you want to obtain maximum results in a relatively short time. Ana Caban’s BodyBand workout does just that for me. I have been practicing Pilates for 12 years, initially in a class setting, followed by Videos and DVDs. This workout is always challenging to me. This may be due to the fact that I can increase the intensity by increasing (or decreasing – for abdomen work) the tension in the bodyband.

   It is oxymoronic, but workouts with Ana Caban (or Moira Stott or Hilary Burnett) are *relaxing* to me, even if they are intense (intermediate or advanced). Knowing the Pilates “poses” in a DVD allows me to better focus on form, and correct form yields better results. I own approximately 15 Pilates workouts. This is one of my favorites and I use it often. I travel a good bit for business. When I do, I always bring this workout.

   Length: Approximately 30 minutes
   
   Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
   
   Results: Consistent use of this DVD once per week will result in well defined biceps, triceps and deltoids; increased abdominal and back strength; and toning in hips, upper thigh and calf.

   Bottom line: a great workout, well worth the time and the price
