Pilates is an exercise technique invented by Joseph Pilates, a German National, who when he was arrested in France during the first world war for being an enemy alien, invented a low resistance type of exercise which was later nameed after him. Joseph Pilates used springs from beds to make the first machine for his workouts. He later moved to The United States and opened his own Studio. Ever since then Pilates has become increasingly popular and now there are a variety of Pilates videos that teach you at home rather than at a studio.
First of all the advantage of any Pilates video is its adaptability. You can do it anywhere that has a DVD player and a television. Especially for those people who don't like going to the gym, the video or DVD is really in improvement for those that want to exercise in the comfort of their own home.
The disadvantages however, are its lack of a tangible instructor. The instructions given on the DVD can hardly be enough of a substitute for an actual certified Pilates instructor. All the troubles, all the questions and the probable injuries cannot all be covered by a single video. Only a real instructor can do that.
So if you really want to use a Pilates videos at home, it is advisable to first consult with an instructor, or probably take gym Pilates classes, just to orient yourself with the procedure. Then go ahead to practice at home.
Winsor Pilates is one of the derivations of this form of exercise that can be found on video. IT is a form, modified by Mari Winsor and claims to give results in 1 month, provided that you use it three times a week. Most people who have used it actually claim that it gives results in just two weeks.
Winsor Pilates is popular, because, like other Pilates Videos it can be done in one's own home. One satisfied user, after using following it intermittently for 2 years, testifies to a healthier core, and higher body strength, although no weight loss was observable.
The other good thing about Pilates videos is that, as you progress, you tend to memorize all the routines as you go. So when you've memorized all the routines, you don't really have to strain you neck so much by looking at the TV. They are also very economic. You won't have to pay monthly payments or gym memberships. All you need is the video and you can use it for as long as you want, or until you want to move on to another form.
Most Pilates videos and exercises are low intensity. You can't expect anything too strenuous from something that can be done for physical rehabilitation! For most people, low intensity workouts with great results is a great deal.
