Time graph for Jennifer Kries: New Body Pilates II

For exercisers already familiar with Pilates, this program will refine your technique and show more challenging options. The movements are pure Pilates classics like “the hundred,” “teaser” and “leg rocker.” But they’re all shown at a beyond-beginner level — faster-paced, more challenging positions or with longer levers (e.g. “the hundred” with your legs just slightly off the ground to more fully engage your core). Jennifer’s skill and experience are exceptional. Like a personal trainer, she instructs the moves and points out form (while her “student” demos the exercises). Also includes a bonus 9-minute dumbbell toning workout. ©2008. DVD has: Wide screen.

Jennifer Kries: New Body Pilates II

Great instruction!

I think this is a very good pilates workout with great instruction. I'm familiar with Jennifer Kries, and she's definitely an expert with great form. I have numerous pilates DVDs but still picked up some great tips from this. The pace is actually pretty rapid, so I didn't mind the few short breaks that are in the workout. - posted by Chloe on 10/25/2008

Too Chatty

I have liked Kries' previous workouts, but did not enjoy this one. It's designed for people who already have some experience with Pilates, but if you're not a beginner, I think you'll find the pace too slow. She gives constant instruction throughout the workout and although she clearly knows what she's talking about, sometimes it seems excessive. At times she would have her student (and you) just lie there and rest while she explained something, which wasn't what I was looking for. I was hoping for continuous movement with minimal set-up time, but often found myself waiting for her to stop talking. I got this at the same time as 10 Minute Solution Pilates Perfect Body and enjoyed that one far more. - posted by Vivienne on 10/15/2008

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
