unviewable
I bought two Stott Pilates dvd's and opened the first, Mat Essentials, and liked it. I used it regularly for a couple of months between classes so didn't open this one, "Firm and Fit", until later. As another reviewer found, this has skips and it stops so much that it's unviewable. If you do buy it, be sure to watch it all the way through soon after your purchase so you can return it within the 30 days required by Amazon. I seem to have wasted my money in this case!

Great ab workout w/relaxed pace
If you're looking for a toning pilates workout that is relaxed & paced to increase endurance rather then getting your heart rate up & getting tired fast, this series is for you.
The DVD has a lot of options including a bous 5 min workout for the next level & 1 min previews of 27 of their other titles.
The chapters/exercises done are:
Warm up: breathing, pelvis placement, hip release (straight leg), spinal twist, cat stretch, scupula isolations, rib cage posture, cervical posture, ab prep & breast stroke prep
Exercise: child's pose, hundred, half roll back, roll up, one leg circle, sitting spinal twist, rolling like a ball, ab crunch with 1 straight leg, oblique crunches, double leg stretch, scissors, bridge pose prep, plow, modified plank w/1 leg up, breast stroke, child's pose, saw, open leg roll like a ball, neck pull, oblique reverse crunches, side leg kicks & lifts, sitting straight leg stretch, cobra, swimming, child's pose, plank w/1 leg up, seal, side bands, push ups (reg) & ends w/cross legged side stretch.
My abs were killing me the next day & my arms & legs felt like they got a decent workout.
