Good Beginners Workout July 17, 2008
I have never done pilates before and I found this DVD a good introduction to it. This DVD is low impact (no jumping around) but you still work up a sweat so thoroughly recommend for a gentle introduction back to exercise. I didn't enjoy this workout the first time I did it but I carried on and after doing it now for at least 10 times, I do enjoy it and it is good for the days when you don't feel like jumping around and want to take it a bit easier. Also for 4, you can't complain if you only use it once!

Instructions are very clear and the woman presenting it always shows you the move before you have to do it. I doubt she got the figure she got just by doing this DVD though as she doesn't break sweat!

Enjoyable and effective... July 10, 2008
...however the teacher's muscular body was clearly not created by Pilates and her physical appearance could put off someone new to Pilates who does not want to look like a female Arnie...

Be asured this lady spends her entire life in the Gym when she's not making Pilates DVD's; probably attached to some huge weight training gizmo.

That apart a keeper :)

Incredibly irritating! July 4, 2008
In terms of an introduction to pilates its pretty good, but the woman who takes you through it looks like a body builder ( i can't say that i was excited about the prospect of looking like her once i'd had a few goes!) and she is american and insanely irritating with a fixed fake smile on her face through every move. Its a little bit disturbing. If you're looking to lose weight i'd stick to something like 'Charlie Brooks's before and after workout' which includes a pilates based section which is much better and A LOT less irritating!!

I had tried a pilates dvd before but the presenter was annoying and it didn't show any beginner "moves". This DVD however, is great. The presenter is good and it shows different levels of pilates from beginner to moves that are a little more advanced. It is a lot of fun and easy to follow. I will buy more of the DVD's in this range.
Also, after doing everyday since I bought it (7 days ago) I can already see and feel a difference.

I love it, i am new to Pilates but not to fitness and i have to say this is an easy way to get fit and tone up, amasing results in a short time. love it and the instructor is easy to listen to and follow.
