I want you to add Pilates to your routine because it will make your weight training workout more effective. You can do it on any workout day or on your day off. Once or twice a week is perfect. I like to do just 10 minutes of this tape--6 days a week and I've done the whole tape. It is an excellent stretch and it makes your muscles respond so much better to the weights. You elongate your muscles and strengthen and energize your CORE! But why did I choose this tape by JULES BENSON? This is the most effective Pilates tape I have ever seen--so for now, I won't make one of my own. Jules has done the job. With her calming mellow voice and her perfect form-- she lures you into the workout and before you know it you're finished and feeling energized and relaxed at the same time. This Pilates workout will add wonderful tone to your entire body because it enables you to stretch out your muscles in a very specific way--while you do toning moves. You can choose between a 20, 40 or 55 minute routine! This is Pilates at its BEST with extra ABS and Hip exercises that are so relaxing you wonder why they work so well!!
