This was the first yogalates dvd I have owned and it is fantastic. My favourite part is the instant abs section. At just over 10 mins you dont even feel like you are working out, but boy, do you feel it. After the first two sessions, even when I was breathing, or just moving in bed, I could feel my waist and stomach muscles had had a good workout. It is so quick and easy you can fit it in every day. The other two parts of the workout are just as effective and you do get used to her voice! (Eventually). I would buy this dvd alone just for the abs workout. Believe me it works.

I have a few of Louise Solomon's DVD's and have kept buying because I am SO happy with them.
This particular weight loss DVD has 3 sections - Core Toning (mainly top half and Abs), Cardio Enhancer (mainly bum and thighs) and relaxation together with an extra Abs work out which goes for just over 10 minutes and so is perfect for when you're time poor.
What I love about these yogalates workouts is that they don't at first appear challenging and, in fact, I feel very relaxed and find them almost hypnotic - Louise Solomon has a very soothing voice which could at first be considered a bit of a put off but, after a stressed full-on day, I want somebody who makes me feel good about myself!
Aside from being relaxing though, and most importantly, I definitely see a distinct change in my body and my attitude and I lost 4cms around my waist in a week!
Not sure how she pulled that off but it's given me the incentive to keep at it and the amazing most incredible thing is that I am even looking forward to doing it!

This DVD is divided into 2 workouts, Core toning which is mainly upperbody and abs; and then Cardio enhancer which is more butt and legs; a relaxation section and a short but intensive abs workout. The layout means that you can do a short workout or a longer one depending on time contraints.
I have previewed and have done this workout a couple of times and really do feel it in my abs the next day. Like all pilates DVDs it won't get you really hot and sweaty but i think the movements will help to tone and sculpt my body esp abs.
I will definitely be holding onto this DVD.

Excellent dvd for pilates. The excercises are deceptively challenging and the sequence of movements flow nicely into each other. Have bought 3 other yoga & pilates dvds, but like this one the best because of the excercises she chooses.
The instructor is excellent - A ridiculous amount of reviews complain about her voice. These are just being petty (bordering on xenophobic!).....we all have an accent! She is very calm & clear and explains the benefits of the moves without talking too much.
The reason for the lower rating is purely because of the lack of weightloss. I am a size 12. It advises doing the dvd 3 times a week for 28days. I have just done it 5 times a week (doing the abs section twice most days), combined with a sensible diet for 30 days, and as yet, no weight loss. Maybe, underneath the wobbly tummy there is a set of fab abs!!! but I have not lost any weight, inches or dress sizes as reported by other reviewers.
Despite this, would still recommend this dvd as an excellent pilates dvd for the stretching, relaxing etc benefits of pilates, just not for weight loss.
As I like the exercises in this dvd and due to the report of weight loss by so many other reviewers, I plan to persevere with this dvd for 2 more months. Will update my review then, if any weight loss occurs.

I bought this DVD as I find I can't always be bothered to go to the gym after work, so when I read that it was both effective and relaxing, I thought it was worth a look-in. I've never done yoga or pilates before and found it pretty straightforward - it just takes a while to get hang of the breathing. This DVD is really fantastic, I like how you have the option to select one of three sections, so you don't feel forced into doing it all at once. The 'instant abs' section is perfect and easy to fit into my day, 15 minutes of gentle ab toning... you don't feel like it can be doing that much, but believe me, you really feel it the next day! After doing the DVD, all your muscles feel tighter straight away - instant slimming effect. Yes, everyone is going on about her voice, it's not as annoying as I thought it would be after reading other reviews, it's actually quite calming. One thing that does wind me up... she's Australian, which is fine, but she says 'body' in what sounds like an American accent... why does she do that?! People also seem to be confused by the front cover - looks all beachy, but it's actually filmed in a white studio. That doesn't matter though, you're not really focussing on that. All in all, a fantastic DVD, and one where you notice changes immediately! Highly reccommended!

Louise Solomon has taken the best of yoga and pilates and combined them to give a workout that manages to relax and invigorate body and mind. She emphasises listening to your body and taking things carefully. I was very impressed with the way Louise guides you slowly through the movement until, before you know it, you are doing effective, controlled core work.
This video helped me to get in shape over a couple of months and I still do it once a week or so. I always feel taller the next day and notice that my tummy is flatter than usual! Good when you want a "skinny jeans" day.
I also appreciated the lack of music and the calming delivery. Sometimes yoga and pilates DVDs are smothered in panpipes and soft focus; this video strikes a good balance between relaxation and practical instruction.
If you enjoy the spiritual and meditative aspects of yoga, there is something here for you, too. The relaxation section, which is well worth doing, includes yogic breathing exercises. Louise occasionally refers to crown and heart centres during the workouts, ending each session with a gentle bow and Namaste. Again she strikes a nice balance between respect for the spiritual tradition of Yoga and modern day practicality.
I have bought several Yogalates DVDs on the strength of this one, and while they all have a lot to offer, this one is still my favourite. Clearly a lot of care and thought has gone into this product. Highly recommended.

Brilliant Routine
Love this dvd, is so easy to pick up, with different levels of difficulty depending on your ability. The bonus ab section is a killer but you get the results!
