InControl: Pelvic Exercises for Women
Not for me
As another reviewer noted, these exercises can increase lower back pain. Perhaps I wasn't doing them correctly; I found it hard to tell because instructions were not especially clear. I'm glad this works for some people, but it's going back to Collage. Thanks for your generous return policy! - posted by Anna on 4/19/2012

It does what it says it does
I really like the video. It has helped me already. Have been using it for 2 weeks. Well demonstrated and calming. Very good instruction. - posted by Kathy on 4/12/2012

Very Clear and Informative
No matter what your age or physical fitness, it is important that you pay attention to your body. In taking Pilates classes for the last six months and following the exercises illustrated in INcontrol, I have found that my physical energy and well-being have greatly improved. INcontrol includes a very clear introduction by Pilates instructor Karen Armstrong. The information provided is applied in specific exercises that are categorized into two levels. What I find extremely helpful is that the instructions are followed by an explanation of what your body experiences. So,it is up to you to be INcontrol.” Henriette W.

No
I did not care for this dvd. The exercises made my lower back ache even more afterwards. My other dvds cover alot of the same exercises and don't bother my back, so back it went, for me. Thank you Collage. - posted by SAF on 11/9/2011

Educational
I definitely learned more about the bladder and how to strengthen the muscles. There was a lot of great educational information here. However, during the exercises, I got a little lost wondering if I was doing the exercises properly. I think this wouldn't happen if the instructor explained this more thoroughly and possibly cued in more detail. - posted by Elaine on 7/28/2011

IN control
The exercise instructions were easy to follow. The exercises themselves were easy to do, but you could really feel them working down in your pelvic area. I'm 46, overweight, and not in the best shape but not totally inactive either and these exercises were something I could easily do. - posted by Rebecca on 5/12/2011

Its fair
This pelvic work out taught me how to breath properly. - posted by Key on 5/5/2011

good explaination of moves
This video provided the best explaination of exactly what muscle I was to tighten. Most of the exercises are ones that I do daily without the extra muscle work so I was able to incorporate them in my existing morning routine. I have noticed that I am able to clearly feel what I am doing after a week. Very encouraging progress in a short time. - posted by Lee on 8/14/2010

Helps with yoga
I found this video of great help in achieving mula bandha or root lock which is essential to ashtanga and other forms of yoga. My only quibble is that the video was too short; more exercises would have been great. - posted by Catherine on 6/17/2010

Excellent layout, techinque and illustrations
I was a little hesitant to order this after reading the review that there was just too much going on. After viewing the program, it is much more clear to me how to perform a proper Kegel exercise. I have taken about 10 Pilates classes and so the exercises seemed in line with what might be expected in one of those classes. There is a table of contents that allows you to review short definition segments which is very helpful. Also the 2 different programs are in it. Much more effective than a DVD that I have on posture and blends that segments together. - posted by Nancy on 3/13/2009

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Specialty: Health challenges

Workouts especially designed for specific physical challenges. The moves are carefully selected and modified to address the unique needs of each physical situation.
