Winsor Pilates Basic (3 DVD Workout Set) {Basic, 20 Minute Workout, Accelerated Body Sculpting}

Summary: Not Thrilled
Review: After seeing the Winsor Pilates infomercials on TV and trying Winsor's previous videos, I thought this could be a good 3 DVD set. Daisy Fuentes is attractive, but I'm old enough to remember that commercial "Where's the beef?" That's kind of how I felt. These 'eye candy' DVDs are professionally made but I didn't get the best workout.

Summary: Amazed at the Results I've gotten!!
Review: I've tried different Pilates DVD's and Mari Winsor's are by far the best!! I've lost 25lbs just doing her 20 minute Workout!! And I've lost another 10lbs doing her Accelerated Body Sculpting intermittently with the 20 minute Workout!! And the moves were easy and fun!! I'm so toned now, I'm amazed at my results!! And my flexibility has improved so much, too!! A great investment for your body!!

Summary: Excellent for beginner/intermediate
Review: Mari Winsor's 3-DVD set is a great set of workouts for beginners and intermediates. By alternating the 2 workouts, I increased my strength and flexibility as well as my control. I also felt the difference in my abs after only a few sessions. Obviously if you are experienced in pilates these workouts may not do anything for you (although her other workouts available on the Winsor Pilates website are very effective for the more experienced). But if you are relatively new to pilates or are a bit familiar with it, you should find these workouts to be challenging and beneficial. Mari Winsor is excellent about talking you through the workouts and is constantly reminding you of the importance of correct positions and processes. The trick with this program is to be consistent and remember that pilates is meant to sculpt your body and increase flexibility and strength. Losing weight requires a healthy diet and other activity like walking or jogging to burn the calories! Do those things and add Mari Winsor's program and you will have the whole package!

Summary: Alright
Review: This DVD set is alright, but I liked Pilates for Dummies, Pilates for Everyone, and Classical Pilates DVDs better. I've seen some of the infomercials for Winsor, and I think the other videos are more authentic, more real, more traditional.
