Pilates Workout for Dummies is a 60-minute DVD, ideal for both the first-time and intermediate Pilates exerciser. In the Basic Workout, well-toned instructor Michelle Dozois clearly and patiently presents 18 classic Pilates mat exercises, first demonstrating and explaining, then doing 6 to 10 repetitions. She explains what the Powerhouse is and how to use it, and covers the basics you'll need if you've never done this before (or need to be reminded), offering alignment tips, breathing, and extremely clear instructions for executing each movement. Dozois suggests modifications for making the exercises easier (or, occasionally, more challenging), and includes cautions against common mistakes and reminder tips for doing each exercise effectively. This is a fine first workout for Pilates novices. The Intermediate Workout consists of some of the Basic exercises and several new ones, all done at a faster pace and with more challenging instructions. This is a workout you can progress with! --Joan Price

 Pilates for Dummies October 16, 2008
Very easy to follow and moves along. Other Pilates DVD's I've tried are dragged out and not fun to work along with. I have been doing it faithfully since receiving it. Still working on Beginners. There is also an Advanced section which I will get to after a few months. Already notice firming up of abs and legs.

I've now used this video several times and have been impressed with it. The instructor provides solid, easy to understand explanations. I appreciate the simplicity of the production; there is no cheesy music or distracting panning to other buff exercisers. The moves aren't super easy, but the instructor gives ways to make them easier and also encourages a beginner to only do as many as they are comfortable with.
Great Intro to Pilates July 15, 2008

I have a little experience with Pilates. When I moved to a new town, I couldn't find a decent pilates studio, so I started researching for a good instructional video instead. This one had a lot of good reviews and I decided to try it out. The instructions are great and I love the modified examples. Overall, I feel that this video is great for people interested in an introduction to pilates or people like myself who aren't coordinated and need some help to get going. :) I am really glad I bought this product.
