I've got 4 or 5 of Lynne Robinson's DVDs and have always found them to be effective. When I started doing her workouts (about 10 years ago now!) I remember people asking whether I had lot weight. I hadn't, I'd just toned up in all the right places and sorted out my posture.
What I love about this DVD is that it's great for beginners, but also has some really challenging exercises for those of us who have been doing Pilates for a while. I totally agree with one of the other reviewers, if you've got your technique correct then Pilates is demanding - I actually find it tougher now than when I first started!

Fabulous!
I've taken Pilates classes for years, and Lynne Robinson knows what she's doing. People who complain it's not challenging enough are either not doing the exercises correctly or are supremely fit. Pilates is very subtle, you have to concentrate, and aside from 'the hundred', most people won't work up much of a sweat. I wouldn't suggest an absolute beginner try to learn Pilates without the help of an instructor, but this is the next best thing. Lots of close ups to show how the exercises are done, usually demonstrated by a fellow who is easy on the eye. Each of the workouts covers a variety of muscle groups and the whole series taken together is quite thorough.
Excellent, easy DVD

I am new to Pilates so I didn't know what to expect when buying this DVD BUT it's fab! I suffer with back problems and had whiplash nine years ago and still suffer from the occasional neck strain. I found this to be gentle enough for me but hard enough to feel the results. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who wants to tone up,feel more supple and generally better. I don't think this is for someone who wants a cardio workout but more for toning and stretching and Lynne says you will change your body shape (but I haven't got that far yet but I do feel more toned). You have to concentrate on your breathing throughout but this helps with relaxation and concentrating on your position. Lynne is very easy to follow and she gives you enough time to be in the right position. There's a nice bloke to look at too and he shows you the beginners version and next to him is a young woman who shows you the more advanced version so you can take your pick. The music is not intrusive at all - I hardly noticed it. It's fun to do and even my three old boy joins in with me and he motivates me to put the DVD on! Enjoy.
excellent instruction, but rather boring!!!

I bought this DVD as I wanted something that I could do in a limited amount of time, and I also wanted reminding of the pilates basics as it is some time since I have been to a class, and some of my other pilates DVDs don't give adequate instructions.
This DVD consists of three workouts and a pilates basics section. The workouts last about 35 minutes each. The pilates basics bit is great for beginners, and a good refresher for those who have already done some pilates. I thought the first 2 workouts were OK, but for some reason hate doing workout 3.
My only critism is that this DVD is very slow paced, and I find it a bit boring so don't do it as often as my other DVDs.
