Time graph for Romana's 4-Workout Set

A four-video set led by Romana Kryzanowska; she actually studied under Joseph Pilates in the 1930’s. Now 80 years old, Romana is Joseph’s oldest living disciple. These workouts make no attempt to “modernize” Joseph’s original methods (“I just do what Joe taught me”). Each video has the same format. It begins with fascinating vintage black and white footage of Joseph demonstrating his techniques. Then the routines are slowly taught by Romana as her assistant carefully does the exercises. Then, the assistant repeats the routines at a faster pace without Romana’s guidance. “Introduction to Matwork” is the shortest program done at an intermediate-level; it includes some wall alignment moves. “Optimum Weight Management” is all-matwork, also at an intermediate level. Finally, both “Powerhouse Mat” and “Mat Challenge” are more challenging workouts — you’ll need lots of strength and flexibility to keep up with these two. No music; Joseph said, “listen to your body, not music.” ©2003 (45 min.). (35, 40, 40 & 45 min. ea.).

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
