The Pilates Classic Roller app is the second in the series of Pilates apps from Marian Tasker and Aerende. The Pilates Classic Roller app presents the classic Pilates series of exercises in the classic sequential order, but on a roller which is a soft plastic cylinder 36 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. Performing Pilates on a roller adds the element of balance to the exercises.
The classic order has been designed to loosen up your muscles first before exercising them. These exercises were designed to be performed anywhere and now that they are available on the iPhone/iPad you can have a portable guide that you can reference anywhere. This app contains all of the movies so that you do not need Internet access to view the movies.
This app has a Beginners set and an Advanced set of the exercises. Each exercise has a video of Marian Tasker demonstrating the exercise along with his vocal instruction coaching you through the exercise as if you were taking his personal class in any of the many studios in which he teaches. There is also a separate text version of each exercise, with pictures, that explain how to perform each exercise.
You can select to view each video individually, or you can select to view the videos in sequence starting from the first video you select to see. Viewing the videos in sequence can be enabled in the Settings page.
