 Effective workout, 2008-02-28
I have used several exercise videos/DVDs and I must say this one is one of the best. Reason? Well, it does not last too long so you cannot justify it to yourself saying I don't have time for it, it is a continous exercize so the time is well spent and all important body parts are active. Some of the exercises are quite intensive, but all of them develop from basic movement to intensive so you can take a short break if you need to catch a breath. I could not complete all of the exercises, but I got the DVD to work with and improve my fitness anyway.
Note for potential users: You need space to work properly! I found the yoga mat to be a great surface to work on :)

 Full body and inspiration , 2008-02-10
This is an outstanding video, clear instruction, excellent modeling of movements and instruction cues. The more you do this the more you increase your target areas and the more toned you get. It says for beginners but you can increase your level of intensity as you strengthen. The instructor is an inspiration with her extremely sculpted body that is athletically beautiful not bulky. I couldn't wonder if she became so sculpted just from pilates. At any rate she inspires me to want to exercise to look more fit!

Pilates on the Ball, 2008-02-08
Great video. I'm fairly new to exercising on the ball so I think it will be a while for me to be able to do everything on the CD, but it is good and challenging.

Great exercise ball, 2007-11-29
This is my second exercise ball. I bought this one because of the write up on Amazon. My intention was to give the new one to my husband. However, the quality of this one made me change my mind. We share this one. It is great and comes with some sample exercises.

The workout DVD I haven't tired of, 2007-11-15
I get so bored by most workout videos and DVDs and am so impressed that after almost a year of using this one, I still enjoy it and look forward to it. After giving birth, I moved from the "post-mama" workouts to this one, and it has really helped me get back to being toned and losing some of my pregnancy weight. The pace is very easy - starting out with basics, and Lizbeth announces before each new move "moving on" and then describes and demonstrates the next move, so it's easy to learn and stays challenging even after time (I used to be very active before pregnany and found this still to be a good workout). Each time I do the workout I learn more about each move and how to do it better, so it stays challenging (tip: keep your abs tight the whole time, and tense your muscles to help with stability even when not told to - e.g. on the arm and leg movements). As a new mom, I especially appreciate that it is only 30 minutes and requires no more equipment than the ball. I can do it quickly while the baby is sleeping or in the evening before bed. It ends before I can get bored! I would have to agree with those reviewers who said they had a hard time since they were not fit beforehand, that it helps to be used to doing exercise and/or yoga to catch on quickly, but even for those with no experience, you will get better each time if you choose to stick with it! I think Pilates, like yoga, is something you learn over a lifetime!
