 Great Beginners PilatesJul 22, 2010
Exactly what I was looking for to work out with Pilates.
She understands that I am a beginner and need to have guidance to start out with and then later on adds things to further the workout.
I feel my abdominals getting stronger working out with this, which is one of the things that Pilates is really good for in addition to strengthening and toning other parts of my body.

 As Far As Exercise Goes This Video Is A JokeJun 09, 2010
I realize that this is a Pilates for Beginners DVD, but as far as exercise goes, this video is a joke. I'm so bummed I wasted $10 on it. In the 35 minute routine, there is one exercise where you hold your arms up and twist from right to left. It does give a good burn in the shoulders, but that is it. The rest of the DVD could best be described as exercise for the extremely old Senior Citizen. The only other exercise that attempts to really work any muscles is a leg exercise that just made my hip and ankles hurt.
If you want real exercises to build muscle strength get Power Yoga by Rodney Yee or Yoga Shakti with Shiva Rea.
The setting of this video is beautiful as it is on the beaches of Antigua, however, there is no music accompanying the instructor. Videos and exercising in general are so much better with some pleasant music accompanying the instructors voice.
I guess I will send this DVD to my mom although she is way too strong for this video to be exercise for her either. We will have to think of someone nearing 80 as that's really who it's most appropriate for.
Nice PilatesMay 16, 2010
Pilates for Beginners has been just what I have been looking for to teach me pilates. There is a large selection of modified poses with detailed instruction to get you started if you have not done pilates before, or have done little pilates. The instructor has made sure to address beginners with these things.
Then you learn the poses with less modification to increase the workout when you are ready to, so you get a good deal on this video to start you off and continue on to the next level. I am really enjoying pilates as an exercise - I feel more toned and stronger because the moves also seem to work on buiding cardio a bit.

Good Way To Learn and Help StrengthMar 21, 2010
I really enjoyed learning pilates, something I never really thought about doing before but was told that developing some more strength in my stomach area would help with things in general and that pilates was good for this
The instruction that is easy to follow and do. I like doing the exercises a few times a week in addition to some my of ab work, this helps work on the other parts of my body a bit more while still getting my stomach stronger.
