Better for learners than "continuers" December 24, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful While this is a solid instructional DVD, the instruction gets old once you can perform the techniques on your own. You end up doing extra repetitions or just stretching while the teachers explain the movements yet again. For something you can work out to on a regular basis, the fast-moving "Classical Pilates Technique" (mat workout) is a better choice. Either that or you could search for a DVD that has an instructional track and a workout-only track. Great for any level of experience!

It has two workouts at different levels so you can move on once you've mastered the beginner routine, so it saves you money too! Great Pilates Workout! November 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Discovering Pilates is a great way to get in shape fast. It targets your core, while also working your arms and legs. Jon explains all the moves so any beginner can become an expert in just a few sessions! Buy this DVD and you'll be looking at a chiseled bod in no time! Rocked My Body November 18, 2008 This is an excellent workout video!! I am a long distance runner, former athlete and I exercise regularly. I have taken several Pilates classes at my local gym but they can't compare to the results I got from this video! I used to think that I had to spend hours on a treadmill and wake up the next day barely able to walk to get a 'real workout', but Jon and his video changed my attitude! Though I was in good shape to begin with I noticed sexy definition in my abs and upper thighs that no other work out has given me once I started this program. On top of that, the coordinated breathing that accompanies the exercises and Jon's soothing voice really relaxes me. Highly recommended for those of all fitness levels!!! Effective but not death-defying November 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful One caveat, I've only done the beginner workout so far. I wanted an instructor that my husband would feel comfortable with (i.e. a man), and something that would be challenging for me while not too hard for my husband. We both enjoy the beginner workout, which I can get through easily but still get a workout, and he can't quite get through yet (he's very much a beginner to working out, much less Pilates). From watching the second workout it looks like it would be a challenge for me. In terms of the instruction, it's the most clear that I've seen on a Pilates video so far-- it breaks things down in an easy to understand way and makes it possible to focus on the movement rather than the screen.
