5.0 out of 5 stars Great instruction and flow!, 19 May 2004

By A Customer

This is the best structure for an exercise video that I have ever seen - and I have quite a few. I get very bored with my other videos after having used them a few times. They tend to pause at certain points to discuss posture, etc. - which is great the first 1-2 times you watch it, but when you do this on a weekly basis, you want it to just get through the exercises! This one has a seperate section to give you the instruction and when you get to the longer workout, it flows smoothly with no interruption. When you don't have time to spend with unnecessary chit-chat, this is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant, 6 Mar 2007

By	N. A. Walters "Miss_M" (Middlesex, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't praise this dvd enough. In a few sessions, this has drastically toned my stomach, waist, thighs and even the tricky triceps. More than that, I feel stonger and energized after every workout. If you're new to pilates, then I'd recommend trying the Beginner's Mat Workout by Ana Caban first, as you'll probably need some preparation before attempting the intermediate workout (it took me a while to work up to this one!). Also, Ana explains important concepts such as alignment and breathing on the beginner's dvd, but doesn't touch on them much during this workout. In fact, the only complaint I have is that the instruction could stand to be a little more informative at times, especially for trickier poses which may strain bad backs, such as 'the teaser'. Still, the workout is so effective that I can't bring myself to deduct a star! Ana's assistant demonstrates the easier versions of the moves, so 'improvers' like myself should find this useful.

The routine may only be 30 mins long, but the pace is rigorous and the moves are challenging, so it's plenty long enough. Also, there's a bonus 10 min workout for those who want to do that little bit extra.

My previous experience of pilates was limited to Lynne Robinson DVDs, and as good as they are, they didn't give me nearly the workout and results that this one does. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for progressive pilates, 9 Aug 2006

By	E. Griffiths (Derby, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The structure of the video runs smooth just like a studio class, although a little quicker than I am used too.The programme is very well aimed for those who understand pilates, and mastered the basic moves and are ready for a slightly more challenging work out ! I used to do a lot of running but now I am unable due to a back problem, pilates provides an all over body work out whilst strengthening and stretching my back muscles - completely hooked !
