5 Day Fit Pilates

Increasingly people are turning to pilates to strengthen and exercise their bodies. 5 Day Fit Pilates from Gaiam offers five workouts:

• Easy Pilates – step-by-step guide to the fundamentals of pilates, enabling you to master them at your own pace
• Maintenance Pilates for weight loss – a high intensity programme designed to burn more calories and keep the pounds off
• Cardio Pilates – invigorating fusion of classic Pilates and fat-burning exercises
• Am Pilates – a morning workout to get you moving
• PM Pilates – a workout to help you unwind after a stressful day

So far I've only tried the AM Pilates and this was easy to follow and I felt ready to face the day afterwards!
