I love this dvd

I own many of the 10 minute solution series. I love this workout. It is challenging and makes all the right muscles hurt and makes you feel good :).
Fantastic workout!

I purchased this DVD in hopes that I would find a pilates workout that I actually "felt". I was going to a personal trainer and decided that I didn't want to spend the money on the sessions any more so I was in a frantic search for a great pilates dvd and found this one! I love the instructor as she is very easy to listen to and her directions are very understandable and to the point. So many times I have listened to other instructors give long winded instructions to the point of frustration! I also love the fact that you can customize your workout! This has been great when I am short on time or just want to work a specific area (which honestly, I think the segments work ALL areas of the body). The results are amazing! I love how my body looks and how my clothes fit. I run three to four times a week and fit this in about twice a week. I highly recommend this dvd and I'm actually looking into other dvd's from this series and from this instructor. A+++
Nice and Challenging

I haven't done a pilates DVD for a while but this is definitely a breath of fresh air and even challenging but not so much that I had to stop or couldn't do something. There is plenty of familliar pilates exercises like criss cross , roll up etc. and the ball add extra resistance to those exercises. There is even a lunge move with one leg on the ball behind which was pretty challenging. Lara does a great job explaining everything and doesn't waste time and moves straight from exercise to exercise in those 10 minute segments. My favorite segements were the lower body one , with those lunges and a series of bridge work on the ball that fried my hamstrings and the stretch which was great.
Great product

Here is another great 10 minute solution DVD from one of the best pilates instructors. This DVD builds a little from Lara Hudson's 10 Minutes Solution Pilates DVD. She cues very well and takes her time, which enables the user to be more relaxed and graceful. What I like about her Pilates on the Ball is that she's creative with her exercise routines. I would probably not see some of her moves in other DVD's. She makes it look so easy while holding the ball still while I keep falling off. She often tells you that the ball "will get away from you", so you won't feel so bad. She's very encouraging and very detailed in her explanations. If she comes out with another DVD on pilates, I would get it.
