Rating: Summary: A very light work out Review: I agree with the review that only gave it one star. It is pretty light for a 25 minutes workout DVD. If you are new to Pilates, you should pick a real Pilates entry level DVD such as Pilates for Dummies. If you are not new to Pilates, you would find this DVD to be too easy and not a complete work out. I would recommend the videos made by Anna Caban (Pilates Intermediate Mat Workout). I give it two stars because I use this video as a supplement to my workout routines from time to time.
Rating: Summary: Don't Bother with This One Review: It is less than a 25 minute "workout". Most of the routine consists of old standards from high school gym class, like bicycling and leg lifts. There is no incentive for me to do this workout again- the instructor's legs are not toned at all.
Rating: Summary: For the true beginner only Review: What a waste of my money! This is only good for the complete out of shape beginner, but the video does not tell you this. The pictures on the cover show exercises that are not even in the video. I kept going back to the menu to see if I were missing the actual work-out. The "work-out" was no more than a review of how to do a few exercises, and no more than a warm-up. The cover says "flatten abs" even though there are no ab exercises. If you have never exercised and want to start very easy this is for you. Everyone else should shop around. This was my first pilates video, but will now be the last one I get from Gaiam.
