I won this DVD and weight set for submitting my testimonial in Ana Caban's contest. I tried them out a little today, but Xac thought the handweights were really cool and Xhaiden wanted to sit on me. Jim helped me get a little workout in. Here is what I wrote:

Ana seems like a person who has found her calling in life and just keeps moving forward. Her energy and enthusiasm can be felt in every workout. I like that she seeks to improve her teaching skill by attending others’ classes. I also like her focus as she completes every exercise with ballerina precision, showing the best position to achieve maximum strength.

As I do the exercises with my favorite DVDs, I find my back easing into place. As I continue each day I feel my muscles strengthen to hold it there. Ana keeps me going with a workout that makes me feel like I am right there with her. She is comfortable and confident.

I have never tried another Pilates program and I probably never will. Ana is easy to watch and she takes the focus off of herself so I can focus on my breathing and my core. Because of her example and her story, I hope to one day be a certified Pilates instructor. Until then I can enjoy and make her videos a part of my personal fitness repertoire.
