Product Description
Pilates method mat workout to tone and reshape the body.
Amazon.com
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

 Re-Buying This one September 7, 2010
Marykat Sundahl
I'm buying this video for the 2nd time. I either lost or lent my first one, and purchased a different "beginner" Pilates video, to see if I wanted something new. So, now I avoid the workout, due to back problems the following day of workout. I'm sticking with Pilates workout for Dummies. I know I'll keep with it, and that's what gets results.
Quick Workout! August 18, 2010

Love this DVD! I've been using this workout for the past 6 years. BIG DEAL to stick with a workout DVD that long! The instructor is easy to understand, and you do improve your strenght just like they promise.
Once you master each move, you can get through the workout pretty quickly (about 20 mins). Perfect for those mornings I just can't make it outside.

I bought this for my wife at her request. She has used a variety of exercise tapes and CDs over the years, but this one has taken an inch or two off her waistline whereas the others did not. It also helps her back feel better. We are well pleased.

This is my third beginners Pilates DVD and I like this! Instruction is very clear and easy to follow and the routine enables to use the whole body. Only problem is that the each movement is done too fast. The instructor does 10 repeats while I can do only 6 or 7.
Yes get it! May 18, 2010

I am 38 yrs old and I have never done Pilates before - but I do enjoy stretching and getting a good workout. This DVD does both! I'm a busy mom and dont always have time to workout and dont like the fast pace aerobic workouts - but this I could do everyday! Its great for beginners to learn the basics and step by step techniques to Pilates. I would recommend that you watch it through first and keep a remote (to pause) nearby. Because the instructor is "an expert" she tends to go through the techniques with ease when I'm just getting it down - she's on to the 2nd rep. I also like that you can choose which exercise you want to do. And just like all "Dummies Books" there are helpful hints and tips along the way. But again - watch it through first b/c some of those helpful hints come when you've already done 3 reps - then you realize your not quite doing it correctly. I would definitely recommend this DVD!
