Gaiam Ana Caban Pilates Abs Workout

Working it Out

If you are looking to get a great abs workout in under a half an hour then the Gaiam Ana Caban Pilates Abs workout is the right one for you. This workout takes you through a series of 30 exercises that take you from flabby to fabulous. The point of this DVD is not to make you do hundreds of repetitions but to offer a series of different movements in order to work the muscles and stretch the muscles so you end up long and lean without the bulk. The exercises in the Gaiam Ana Caban Pilates Abs Workout are also about getting the whole body involved so while this is a focus on the core the arms, legs and back are being utilized as well. If you can work this DVD into regular use you will see a difference in your body, how you walk and how you stand.

The Gaiam Ana Caban Pilates Abs Workout DVD is so simple that you can do it anywhere. You need enough room to lay down a mat and about enough width to spread your legs hips width apart. This abs DVD could be done in a hallway if that were the only room you have so, no excuses. You do not need any other tools to make this workout work for you but you can add arm weights, ankle weights or resistance bands if you so desire. The focus should be on your body, not about how cool you are because you can use different weights.

The beginning of the workout takes you through some traditional Pilates moves that focus on the core and lower back. You will be performing the hundred, the teaser and the corkscrew at different times in this session. There is also a lot more focus on the action of bringing the chin to chest and lifting and lowering the legs. Seriously, this is a quick workout but it will kick your butt.

One of the great things about the Gaiam Ana Caban Pilates Abs workout is the setting. Most DVD's from the Gaiam collection are set in lovely locations and then set to music. The Gaiam Ana Caban Pilates Abs Workout DVD is set in beautiful Hawaii and you can hear the rolling waves. There is something very calming about listening to the waves as you try to push your muscles to new lengths.

Take thirty minutes out of your day once or twice a week to breathe well, stretch your muscles, build your core and find a whole new you.
