User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Good Beginners DVD
This is one of a couple of Pilates DVDs I started learning with. All have been good selections and I like how Maggie teaches and makes things easier for newer people, plus having other things to do on this later on.

5 Stars Very Good Beginners DVD
This is well done and easy to use. You generally have the choice of easier/modified exercises with more details and another selection of exercises that present more of a challenge after you learn.

It leads you through many of the basic Pilates moves, such as the 100, rolling like a ball and so on and presents a good variety so to keep things fresh.

There are also some variations that are nice, such as using weights and some warm-ups if you like.

Good to learn pilates and also to do some focused Pilates if you just want to target parts of your body as part of your overall workouts or depending on your schedule.

5 Stars Excellent
This is a great DVD. Good instruction, very nice beach setting and lots of variety. There’s even a couple routines that include the Pilates arm series using hand weights. That was a nice thing to have on a beginner DVD.

5 Stars having fun with pilates
When I received the Pilates tape, I was a little skeptical about starting, I was sure it would be too hard to follow - I am 69yrs old! But to my delight, with the exception of some of the back stretches, I found it to be quite easy and fun, and very easy to follow. I’d recommend theis tape to anyone who wants to get fit quickly, and has a few minutes to spend on themselves.

2 Stars Not for me
I ordered this video because of all the nice comments it received. I did not like it. There is too much talking between the workouts and I got bored really quickly. This may be good for someone who need lots and lots of instruction, but it’s not for me.
