I am a regular gym goer but chose this DVD for its flexibility. It is absolutely fantastic if you want 20-50 minute (you chose) work-out before work or in any suitable time. It is well structured so you can select which body parts you want to work on (abs, bums, thighs, flexibility etc.) The exercises are done at the right speed and well explained - no need to keep staring at the screen at all times. The instructor also has uncanny ability to spot the most likely thing you may be experiencing ..."I know it burns, but...", "lift the leg higher.." and it helps to keep you motivated. However, I would not classify this as strict pilates as it lacks the focus on breathing and posture and there isn't enough time to get every exercise and position absolutely right. Consequently, I would not recommend for Pilates beginners, but it is really good varied, dynamic and effective work-out for the intermediates. I'm off to buy more 10 minute solutions.

I am relatively new to pilates, but this workout has been one of my favourites. I find that it provides a good variety - including segments for your arms & shoulders and a relaxing/flexability segment which I really enjoy. Parts are very challenging and are not suitable for new new beginners, but are a great challenge to work up to!

I bought this workout a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy it. I don't think this would suit an advanced level of pilates, as each section is only 10 minutes long. The sections are: Pilates for abs, Pilates for buns and thighs, Sculpting Pilates, Pilates Burn, Pilates for flexibility. You can do just one section or as many as you like, depending on time available or your mood. If you're a beginner, then I think doing two or three sections everyday would be best (especially as the Pilates Burn and Pilates for buns and thighs are quite tough - even though they're short and you do only 4 or so repetitions of each exercise, but boy, can you feel it!)However, this dvd does not explain the basic techniques of pilates, especially the breathing and using your "core", it just plunges straight into the exercise (which is really good if you're intermediate like me), so if I had not used other dvd's before I would not have learnt about the importance of breath. Having said that though, the instructor's cues are really good, she always says when you're supposed to inhale/exhale, so it really wouldn't be too much of a problem even if this was your first pilates video. As I mentioned, if you're advanced then I would probably give this a miss, as all the exercises are typical of those you'd probably know from other videos and the sections might not be intense enough for you.
As an intermediate, I use the whole DVD for an intense weekend workout, or just two or three section when I come back late from work and am just too tired to push myself too hard. My favourite section is Pilates for flexibility, this includes some lovely stretches for the spine, hips and legs. The instructor is lovely and encouraging without being patronising and the 10 minutes of each section fly by very quickly. I really wish the other American 10 Minute Solutions were available on Region 2 format.

It's working!
I'm really impressed by this DVD, the 10 minutes whizz by, and each attempt gets easier and I noticed results after a few goes, even getting off the couch seemed easier. Read more
