Reader Reviews I started Pilates about a year ago due to my health. I suffer from extreme pain daily due to fibromyalgia and an old back injury. So I was looking into various exercise programs to see what I would actually follow through on and that would be doable for me. I liked the mind, body and spirit methods used in Pilates, so I began using Pilates. I found that Pilates reduced my pain level by about 1/2 after about 1 month of regular use. When I am faithful and do it daily I notice not only that I'm toning up, but that my pain level is very manageable. Lizbeth Garcia is very clear and precise in her instructions although for a true beginner some other helps might have been added to help clarify some things like `squeezing the sit bones together.' This video is a very good "On The Ball Beginner" and for those who just can't do the high stress programs out there. My 11 year old son got his first ball last fall and so I got Lizabeth Garcia's On the Ball Pilates program for him and found it was perfect for me as well. I was so excited because it was for 'beginners' and I was concerned about him doing the exercises correctly and not over exerting himself. I am glad however that I had previous experience with Pilates that explains in greater detail how to squeeze the sit bones together or as one Pilates instructor says "smile." I found that very amusing and my son laughed and said my bum can't smile! Another thing I found that that Lizbeth Garcia uses to communicate with her audience is her continual use of the word 'Challenging,' I think this is an essential part of encouragement and it really motivates our son and for that matter me too, to keep trying parts that are more 'challenging.' Keep up the great work Lizbeth and I look forward to future videos.
