Covers It All

The DVD covers it all from beginners to advanced, with good lessons at each level and routines based on the lessons.

Very good to help you tone up and become stronger and I was very happy with this when I wanted to tone up after again a bit of baby fat. September 11, 2008

Great

I love the way this DVD is done with various levels to work through that go from easier on up, definately start with the easier levels. The later levels move quicker and are more difficult, though going through the easier levels prepares you well.

The instructor provides great lessons at each stage to let you know what moves are being added or made a bit more challenging.

I am getting better at Pilates and into shape. July 5, 2008

Improve strength and flexibility

This Pilates program is a good choice for anyone who wants to do Pilates at home. If you're really out of shape the beginner section has short routines and all the moves are modified to make then easy and still give you the benefits. I've been using the intermediate routines a few times a week for almost 6 months and just started learning the new moves that are added in for the advanced section. June 16, 2008

Good for all fitness levels

My college age daughter, my mother and me all wanted to start doing Pilates. We went to a couple classes together but after a few weeks, the kid found it too easy, mom found it a little too challenging and I loved it. I go this video because it had 3 levels on it and thought we could all use it. It's great. Beginner is very easy, modified and at a very easy pace. The intermediate section moves a bit faster and is more challenging and the advanced are tough. May 24, 2008

OMG

This DVD is for those who are in shape. If you are overweight, obese, top or bottom heavy, just starting to work out, don't bother. This chick has you doing things with your body that you need a reasonable shape to do it with and plenty of space to roll and tumble in. May 14, 2008
