Product Description: 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

Great Teacher
This is probably the best beginning Pilates DVD around. I've got about four, but this one gives concise instructions. In some cases it still moves a little quicker than I'd like, but I'm just starting out and haven't done some of the excersises. I'm also taking a class for beginners and this helps learn the correct breathing, and correct positions.

Great for everyone!
I had the "old" VCR tape version of this pilates instruction and have used it for a few years. It was time to upgrade and I was sure to go with the same one. The DVD versoin has an extra advanced section which is great. This routine is made simple - anyone can do it and you WILL see results ! I recommend this to anyone just starting to exercise as well as advanced people looking for something different to mix in with the weights and cardio. Order today !!

1st time pilates user
This dvd was very easy to follow and keep up with. I have been using it 3 times a week for 6 weeks now and have not grown tired of it. The instruction is VERY thorough and proper form is reiterated during the exercises as a constant reminder to the user. Excellent introduction to beginning pilates with no previous knowledge or experience. In addition, it has provided some relief to my neck and back problems that I have experienced with other forms of exercise in the past. In the last 2 weeks I have begun to alternate it with a more advanced dvd.

Very Through Pilates Workout
I have done a number of different pilates workout videos over the years but this one is my favorite by far! It is through and all the tips are very helpful! Its great for someone just starting out!!

Looks easy but it's not
The dvd makes the exercises look easy to do. They aren't which can be a real turnoff if you aren't committed to stick with it awhile. I wouldn't really call that as a criticism of the dvd tho. In fact, I think the format and presentation are quite logical and easy to follow. Sometimes exercise programs (esp. yoga and pilates) place emphasis on the venue--like sandy beach or artsy loft. Personally, I find that annoying and distracting. If you want straightforward, this is your dvd.
