Pilates: Beginner Level 1 Class 1
Kim takes you through a full body pilates workout while teaching you how to apply the five pilates principles that she covered in her first video. You will learn how to strengthen the body safely and effectively, while maintaining proper technique. As she says, "if it's easy, it likely means you're not doing it right!"

I thought the 5 principles and this beginner class was great. My one suggestion is to be clearer on when to inhale versus exhale for each movement. I kept getting confused on if I was inhaling or exhaling and sometimes felt like the vocalization was counter to what I was expecting from the 5 principle video. I think it isn't that it is actually counter intuitive or even unclear but more that I do these exercises without really watching the video because it would be bad to turn my head so sometimes I'm on the inhale when she's on the exhale so just saying "inhale" or "exhale" doesn't help as much as saying "inhale/exhale as you lift/curve/push etc" - thanks for a quick workout that really gets my day started!
Does anyone else vibrate like crazy during the core exercises?
Great video, though beginners like myself may need to watch this multiple times to understand some of Kim's prompts.
Fantastic class and teacher! I needed more of a challenge and am so not ready for intermediate classes, and this fit the bill perfectly.
After doing this workout for a few days I can feel my form getting better! The way Kim explains things makes so much sense and with the challenging moves in this workout I will never get bored! Kim is fantastic!
