Summary: Excellent workout
Review: I got this DVD for XMAS, and I love it. I don't have time to go to classes, so I needed a workout that I could do after the kids are asleep. The instruction is good, not too cheesy, and it's easy to follow. It's a subtle difference, but I appreciate that the people on the program are not all surgically made babes. It's segmented into 10 minute workouts by area (abs, butt, thighs, etc). Even better, I see results after just a few workouts.

Summary: The Best Workout Video!
Review: Ellen Barrett is a FANTASTIC instructor! Unlike most workout videos, her instructions are clear, concise and very easy to follow. If you've tried other yoga or pilates videos and couldn't get the breathing coordinated with the moves, you must try this video. Barrett simplifies the technique and provides helpful reminders throughout the workout without unnecessary chatter or annoying peppiness. The exercises also are effective and provide a great workout. I normally do not like the Crunch series, but I would definitely buy other exercise videos with this instructor.

Summary: Great Instruction, Great Workout!
Review: I think this is the best DVD I have for the bucks!
The instruction is clear and easy to understand, every little details of the form and breathing. She coaches you every step of the way, every detail of the movement. Accurate, controlled movement and breathing is essential to the Pilates workout, and I believe this DVD teaches it best.Highly recommend to everyone!

Summary: WOW!
Review: I have never tried Pilates before, but I can honestly say- I LOVE this DVD! The 10 minute segments are great for when you're time crunched. The instructor is terrific- very encouraging. My only problem with it, as a beginner was they don't always show the woman doing the beginner modifications, but if you listen the instructor tells you exactly how to modify it.If you are looking for a great workout- this is definitly one to try!

Summary: Excellent! Would give more than five stars if I could!
Review: I was in a video store and saw this and noticed that the workouts were 10 minutes a piece, which is good for someone who is really time crunched like me. I also noticed the bonus 10 minute total body work out and you may be thinking "There is no way I can get a total body work out in 10 minutes" but that is SO untrue. I've been doing this for a few days and I'm surprised at how different my body feels, just from a few days of doing the workout. My abs feel tighter, my thighs hurt in all the right places. It's an excellent workout for someone who can't spend a lot of time working out like they want, but wants to do something that will target the buns, thighs and abs. You'll be looking great in a bikini in no time if you stick to this. The production on this DVD is much better than the previous Crunch videos that I've purchased. The cueing is perfect this time around, the instructor has a soft, gentle voice and she gives excellent instructions and clear directions, but isn't really chatty or anything. And I'm glad theres someone doing the modifed verisons of some of the excerises for whenever I get a little lazy. But don't be fooled. They still get the job done. This DVD is great!

Summary: For a Beginner
Review: I recently started a new "lifestyle change" (aka diet) but I knew that I needed to work out too to get the full benefit. I've never had any luck being able to stick to going to a gym, so I bought the Pick Your Spot Pilates DVD to do at home. I watched it all the way through first, to get a glimpse of what was in store for me. I love this workout! For a beginner it is very easy to follow and you can make it less challenging by doing the modifications, but you still get a workout. My abs (especially my obliques) were pretty sore two days later and I was thrilled. I've always been a sissy when it comes to sit ups and crunches, but the ab exercises on this DVD were fun! I've been doing the routine for a week now and I can feel my tummy getting flatter and I can see my waistline getting trimmer. Seeing results so quickly is incredibly motivating. Pick Your Spot Pilates is definitely the DVD for a beginner, but I have no doubt that as I get more experience, I will be able to get through all 4 10-minute sessions without having to do the modifications.

Summary: LOVE IT!
Review: I love this work out ..... I never stuck to a diet or excercise but this i do!! It is 100% worth your money.... You dont have to do the thigh section or butt section or ab section... YOU PICK!!! I do the ab section and i have done it 2 days in a row took a break one day and did it today and already feel the difference. Do not expect a difference if you dont follow the breathing its major...... I am a huge fan of this and am considering buying more of the collection!

Summary: Great workout video!
Review: I've never done Pilates before but have done Yoga, ballet, bellydancing, aerobics, cycling, running...well you get the idea. I like to do different activities so it doesn't get so "routine". I decided to check out Pilates and picked this up because I had a coupon for it. I thoroughly enjoyed this workout. The instructor explained the moves and she was easy to follow. I will definitely be incorporating this DVD along with her other Pilates DVD (Fat Burning Pilates) into my routine.
