WRONG.... Your tummy gets a nice work out... and you feel nice and tall after completing the video. The stretching is great. <br />Personally, the routine is too slow for me and the instructor talks too much. I think that if she just went from one move to the other with out talking the workout would give a better payoff. By the time she started the next move...I was already 10 reps in. Also... it did not seem like there was enough repitition of the good moves and too many unnecessary moves. Rating: 3 / 5 After doing a one hour workout, you would reckon that every muscle in your body would be feeling it…right? INCORRECT…. Your tummy gets a nice work out… and you feel nice and tall after completing the video. The stretching is fantastic.

However, when it arrived I noticed that the small print on the back said that this is not the Pilates method, that it is not recognised or approved by the Pilates Guild and that references to the word Pilates are for discriptive purposes only. In fact, the DVD contains a combination of exercises from various disciplines. <br />In addition to that, the main focus of the real Pilates method is improving posture, core stability and flexibility of the spine, whereas this DVD is only about 'toning and sculpting'. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 I ordered this DVD because I am interested in the Pilates method.

I had been doing yoga for years and also Callanetics and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately the tapes just never lived up to the expectations I had. <p>I wanted a workout that 1) wouldnt bother my back and 2) would reshape my body with a mat workout. I had done callanetics for years as a teenager and had been thrilled with the results, when I learned that this was a popular workout with celebrities I didnt think I could go wrong. <p>If you want to get toned from Pilates you truly need to invest the money in a trainer and use a machine, these tapes are not effective enough. Ive tried several of the method tapes besides these and they were never "enough" for me. <p>If you already excersize regularly like I do (1-2 hours a day 5 days a week) then you just wont get much results from these "light" movements. If you are a beginner and want to try something new, then these may be good for you. If you really want to get a leaner body and strengthen muscles you never knew you had, try callanetics. Ive been doing it off and on for 8 years and its never failed to give me the results I wanted.

I wanted a workout that 1) wouldnt bother my back and 2) would reshape my body with a mat workout. I had done callanetics for years as a teenager and had been thrilled with the results, when I learned that this was a well loved workout with celebrities I didnt reckon I could go incorrect.

If you want to get toned from Pilates you truly need to invest the money in a trainer and use a machine, these tapes are not effective enough. Ive tried several of the method tapes besides these and they were never “enough” for me.

If you already excersize regularly like I do (1-2 hours a day 5 days a week) then you just wont get much results from these “light” movements. If you are a beginner and want to try something new, then these may be excellent for you. If you really want to get a leaner body and strengthen muscles you never knew you had, try callanetics.

I did it a few times and threw it out. There are lots of other Pilates tapes out there, don't bother with this one.
