Rael Pilates System 27 - Excellent March 29, 2007

I love pilates and have struggled to find a suitable DVD which I can use to exercise at home. This DVD is, without a doubt, the best pilates DVD available. Rael is an outstanding instructor and is very knowledgeable. It is well presented. The people on the DVD do the movements beautifully and set a great example. The exercises flow from one into the other. The session is well structured and not disjointed (like other DVDs). It is challenging and I always feel good after using this DVD. I use this DVD everyday - I highly recommend it.

Great workout for intermediate/advanced trainees. Rael is an astounding instructor. The workout is complete and has an overall adequate pace and vitality. The warm-up and cool down parts are well balanced. The presentation of the title menu is excellent as well. Couldn't have asked more from it!! I am extremely happy with this DVD.

I'm a big fan of Rael. This is a good instructional video. It's not one to really work out to on a regular basis as the pace is slow for more advanced practioner. Rael gives a lot of good cues and insight into the movment. The instructor/models are amazing. Beautiful, graceful bodies. Nothing too difficult, good modifications.
The Best Pilates workout for toning & stetching January 6, 2007

This disc comes with a 5 min interview with Rael, comes in 5.1 sound, the music is not annoying & the director & producers have won golden globes, emmys, etc. for other tv shows. The workout is 25 min long.
Rael Isacowitz has been doing Pilates for 25 years, is one of the few who can perform the entire repertoire & teaches other pilates teachers. He's one of the only people who can do the entire workout & has a masters in dance which shows in how he moves & speaks. He is very graceful when he moves, has a lot of charisma when he speaks & doesn't miss anything when showing how to do the movements. He sees the body as a dancer & is amazing in knowing how the body responds to small differences in movements such as which way the palm should face.
The set is simple orange with Rael guiding & speaking with an in shape female in gym halter top & pants doing the movements on a pilates table. Rael tells you how to move, what to watch out for all while keeping perfect pace of always telling you when to inhale & exhale in charming manner that's never annoying. He also demonstrates the more advanced way of doing each movement w/perfect precision & grace, even the roll ups. The pace is relaxed to emphasis body awareness.
Some of the movements are: breathing, pelvic curl/yoga bridge pose, lying spinal twist (knees tucked), chest lift (crunch), hundreds, roll up (laying to sitting), leg circles, rolling like a ball, single leg stretch, criss cross legs ab workout, double leg stretch, shoulder bridge, spine stretch (sitting), saw (touching each foot opposite hand), sitting spinal twist, corkscrew, side leg lifts (lying down), adductor squeeze, oblique arch, swan (yoga cobra/upward dog), single leg kick, double leg kick, cat/cow stretch, leg pull front, hip flexor stretch, back support (toning), single leg teaser, seal puppy & child's pose relaxation.
Only a few of the moves I felt were easy, but the more advanced way was plenty challenge enough for me.
If you want to learn pilates from a real master & get true body awareness to avoid spams & muscle injury, get this dvd.
You can see trailers for his system 17 & 27 at collagevideo com & get more info at raelilates com
Good advanced workout! September 13, 2006

This is a really good workout. It mainly focuses on your core (abs) and after a couple of days, I could definitely feel the burn. I have been doing other pilates videos for about 5 month, and this is a good step up from them. I really feel the burn after the workout. I would definitely recommend. I am looking forward to seeing results on my abs.
