 This works for me November 19, 2009
J. Kirkwood (Oakland, CA)
I had a baby six months ago and now have a 26-inch waist by doing these exercises correctly (takes a little time to master the abs positioning if you haven't taken a pilates class before), walking and choosing my sugar *wisely*. No personal trainer, no meal delivery service, no nanny, etc. If I can do it anyone can. Worth a try!
 Really has some serious flaws. November 16, 2009

There are some exercises which aren't bad overall on this DVD, but there are issues which make this not a very enjoyable one for me to do (recognizing that 'enjoyable' and 'workout dvd' really don't go together, but hopefully you'll get what I mean).
The cuing, I think, is pretty miserable in terms of time or when a movement is supposed to begin or end. Unless you're watching the TV very carefully, there's often little idea of how fast a movement is supposed to be and the background music doesn't help keep 'the beat' at all. On one stretch, in particular, by the time the voiceover explains what position one should be in, it's time to immediately move on to the other side...it's pretty bad.
Even if you ARE watching the TV, it's not always easy to follow how quickly something ought to be done. The movements aren't often well defined and the camera angles are often not set at a good angle to get an accurate sense of the full form of the movement.
And last...the ab section is something that I don't get on several levels. I'm not a big fan of putting feet on the wall. I mean...I've just worked out, I'm feeling kind of oogy and ... I'm supposed to plant my bare feet on the painted wall? Even getting past that (and I've tried more than a few times!), the whole ab section is doing something that I haven't been able to figure out yet (and I've been doing pilates for a couple of years, so I don't think my abs are completely useless)...I just can't seem to figure out how these exercises are supposed to 'work' and spend a lot of time rewinding, replaying, rewatching to figure out what I'm doing wrong (and still haven't figured it out).
There is a bunch of 'wasted time' on this dvd...which isn't bad if you need time to recover but I think it could have used time more efficiently. The stretching is pretty poor too, in my opinion.
Anyway...I was surprised, since this dvd got such decent reviews overall, but every time I do this dvd I'm reminded of these issues and thought someone else might appreciate the heads up prior to purchase.
Boring with too much wasted time November 13, 2009

It seems I am in the minority here, but I don't like this video and there are a number of reasons why. The set is dark and uninspiring. There is A LOT of wasted time here. I don't like the voice-over cuing. The thigh and glute segments are effective, but the video is so off-putting I can't bring myself to do them. I felt the arm section was a complete waste of time. Didn't care for the abs either. I tried Pilates Plus and found it to be EVEN WORSE than this one. I don't think either are a good use of time. I would MUCH rather do Squeeze Stronger or Pure Barre for this type of workout. I would NOT recommend this product.

You will feel the difference in a few days when you follow the basics. If you are short on time, you can pick and choose the 4 different 10 minute segments that zero in on the various areas of the body. How hard you work in those 10 minutes determine the results you can feel and see!
The Good Pain.... November 11, 2009
Leele (Florida)
This video seem easy and for the most part it really is. What it does without the fillers of the other videos is it really, really, targets the places that need to be worked. I did the arms and then moved on to the legs. I didn't get to finish the legs but for three days, I couldn't even go up or down the stairs. Why this is good you may ask? It worked muscles I never knew could be worked in that fashion. It activated them...really activated them to work. It was like they were asleep and they woke up. The shoulder exercise worked my middle back and shoulders, you know the part that normally gets tight and seems to gather and hold on to an enormous amount of stress, it released it all. No more buildup. This DVD is one the absolute best out there. I'd rather be in pain from doing the workout from this dvd only because I know that I really did get my muscles involved in the workout than be in pain because I did something wrong from a dvd that was too complicated. Best part, you use things around you house to help with your exercises, from a chair to the counter top. Wonderful.
