I bought this DVD, as I was looking for something to tone me up, and strengthen my stomach. I have followed Pilates exercises before, from a book about 10 years ago, so being very unfit, and inflexible now, I would class myself as a beginner.
I watched the DVD this monday, and have completed it twice, with a day off in between, and I am very impressed. The rate at which you workout is steady, and everything is well instructed in a clear, easy to follow manner. All the moves are easy to follow. The first 20 minutes is a standing workout, and the last 15 minutes is on the mat. You will really feel your body working!
I felt really energised after each workout, and felt I had better posture.
My stomach also felt stronger the 2nd time around, so I'm hopeful this workout will give results fast. I highly recommend it.

I had never done pilates before and bought this along with the '10 Minute work out Pilates' DVD. I do a lot of sport and wanted to try something different that I could do in the house. The DVD was great but (and not trying to sound big headed) it was really easy. I watched it and followed it once and wont use it again. I think it would be great for people who do not do much exercise but for people who are quite fit/flexible, you may find this a bit basic. Dont get me wrong, it is a great DVD and I would recommend it for complete beginners. Even the instructor is not irritating at all - quite a talent!
Wow workout

This is the first pilates video I bought. The workout was a total body workout. The pace was just right and instructions were given clearly. I then bought the Lynne Robinson 'The Pilates Body' and I hated it because I strained a side of my body. Now I only use this DVD. Recommend it to anyone who is a beginner and wants to tone and feel great on the inside. Tracey Thompson is an excellent instructor.
Simple, fun and effective

I had gone to a Pilates class and found it very boring and slow. This DVD on the other hand is upbeat and combines good stretches with enough movement to make you feel like you've been exercising. The instructor is pleasant and encouraging and the music is fairly neutral so it doesn't irritate. I liked the two different sections: standing and mat-based pilates, and the workouts weren't too long to be fitted into a hectic lifestyle. Sadly, there are only two routines, and some of the explanations are quite blink-and-you've-missed-them, (but I personally would prefer to have brief explanations to long-winded ones that will be soooo annoying when you are doing the routine for the third time!) Very good value. I'd thoroughly recommend this.

As a newcomer to pilates this dvd is excellent an introduction.
I was looking for gentle exercise following a hysterectomy having now got to that stage in my recovery.This dvd is certainly making me look and feel more toned after only two weeks.
