Great Workout January 3, 2009

This DVD really works your core through a cardio/pilates mixture that starts with a warm up than targets your upper and lower body workouts with a very nice cooldown to close it out. I found the sections to be a real good length for me since I am stil early on in trying to workout, so as a beginner to cardio and toning I liked it.

I really like this workout with it's emphasis on Pilates principles. After experiencing back problems for the past few months, I have found this workout to be very beneficial.

The workout assumes a basic knowledge of Pilates: using your core muscles.

The cardio section is fast and moderately challenging. The upper body section is great, I have noticed a definite difference in my arms, even though I was lifting heavier weights before I started with this routine. The lower body section is also challenging.

I have purchased many Kathy Smith workouts over the past 14 years, and this is one of my favorites.

Tough but good :-) August 19, 2008

I'm not normally a big Pilates fan, but I do like Kathy and thought I'd give this a go to mix up my current routine. It's a good solid workout and is good for a pilates beginner (me) to intermediate.
I found this very easy to follow and as always, Kathy is a great instructor who cues well and is great to listen to. You almost don't need to look at the screen to see what she's talking about because she describes in detail all the moves ahead of time. There is an aerobic segment to begin, and you engage your core throughout that. With the toning, there is classic dumbbell type exercises and pilates floorwork (use a mat). I really like how you can play this in any order. Doing that keeps it fresh and interesting.
Overall, this workout is really quite good - I think it's perfect for beginners to intermediate and I'm sure that if done consistantly, then you'll see results. I certainly felt this for a day or two afterwards. Can't wait to try this for my second time.

I agree that the cardio is a lttle dancey, but it is easy to follow and a good workout. The pilates was intense, but not too intense. I felt the burn afterwards.

Nice cardio, nice muscle conditioning May 19, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I do a lot of Leslie Sansone workouts, so the cardio on Peel Off the Pounds was a really nice change -- low impact, no complexity, nice jazzy music. You can make it as dancey or athletic as you like. Kathy follows up the cardio with some nice muscle conditioning pilates moves for the entire body -- again, nothing too difficult, but definitely enough to know you've been worked. Highly recommended for beginners, beginner/intermediates, or intermediates (like me!)
