Bernadette, Just recently I discovered and started using your"Attitudeâ? DVD. It was exactly what I was looking for - me being "beyond 50" with a body not nearly as "fabulous" as I wished, but willing to take on the challenge of losing weight and getting fit. Callanetics were my favourite and I was dabbling in Pilates through books and DVDs, but found it was time to dedicate more time and effort to my physical well-being and something new seemed the right way to go - and that's when I found "Attitude".
Itâ??s really worth taking some extra time to get the form and basic movements right. My earlier ballet experience â?? just an amateur, nothing special - definitely helped there. Being precise in the movements and being familiar with the routine adds to the feeling of enjoyment and well-being, during as well as after the session. There is definite grace and beauty throughout this workout because of this attention to ballet and once the basics are mastered, Iâ??v found I can enjoy a flowing and very pleasurable workout, with enough tough bits to keep me motivated for more.
And it works: feeling more grounded, getting firmer with a better posture are no false claims. If you do the work, you get the results, itâ??s that simple - and the work is so much fun!
In addition, the personal attention you gave to my shipment (to Europe) makes me feel as welcome as if I'm actually in your class. Thank you for being such a caring, committed and inspirational teachter.
Wishing you more DVD and personal success,
Monique (The Netherlands)
