I had tried Pilates once before, enjoyed it and what it is suppossed to do for you (stronger abs, flexibility improvements) but never got around to going back to class. I picked up this DVD and tried it.
It is designed well with two levels, one with real beginner level workouts with a pace and modifications to help you learn and still get a workout (I found it a good workout even though I do run often) and the second one adds increasing diffculty and is a solid workout that you feel when doing it properly.
Overall a very good DVD to start you off and continue on with pilates.
Good beginner video

I've tried Pilates from videos before and never got too interested. This was in a collection of videos my sister lent me and I hesitantly gave Pilates another try. I wish I had found this one before. I very much like that it's broken into shorter routines dealing with specific areas and then also gives you full-body, more traditional Pilates mat workout. The shorter specific segments has allowed me to learn what I'm doing so that I can get more out of the full routine. I can also just do a short workout on a specific body area if I want to. I liked this video a lot and have ordered my own copy.
Very nice

I purchased this DVD because I have others from the same company and have been very happy with them. This is a very nice beginner Pilates program. The instructor offers good instruction that makes the exercises easy to understand and achievable for a beginner.

I bought this dvd since I am new to pilates, but have been doing Bikram yoga for nearly 2 years. I wanted a different workout. All I can say is this video is boring. I went thru it once, and put it away. I did not feel like I had "worked out" at all. It's probably better for someone who's just starting a work out routine. If you've done any yoga at all, this video is not for you.
