 Beginning PilatesMay 04, 2008
This is my first Pilates DVD, but it is excellent for beginners. Some of the excercises have a hard transition, like they were cut off before trainer was completely finished. But over all this is a very good beginning DVD. It has helped me understand the breathing techniques which feel backward sometimes. The inward breath at the beginning of a move and makes for a smoother movement. I'm also taking a class for beginners and the DVD has helped understand the Pilates method better.

A wonderful experience!Apr 07, 2008
For anyone looking for a low-impact, relaxing way to get back into shape, Pilates For Beginners is it! The presentation is great as well as the routines. The explanations for how to do the exercises are easy to understand and paced slowly enough that you don't feel overwhelmed. I would definately recommend this to anyone who wants to combine exercise and meditation/relaxation! An absolute 5 star item!

 Not enough instructionMar 25, 2008
This video assumed that the viewer knew when to tighten the abs and when relax them. It just didn't offer enough instruction as she went through each exercise. Also, the delivery was distracting; it was obvious the instructor was reading a cue card. She reminded me of a third grader giving an oral presentation in front of the class. She was just going through the motions almost robotically.

Not bad for beginners!Feb 25, 2008
If you are looking to learn pilates from scratch and you can't meet w/ a teacher, this DVD is wonderful. Its main goal is to teach perfect BASIC form and strengthen core muscles. Though I wasn't very experienced, I had been taking Pilates sporadically for a few months and was used to a much more rigorous class, so some of the routines were not quite challenging enough. BUT I have learned better form w/ this DVD, which is exactly what I needed. The workouts are broken into 2 main sections (very beginner and intermediate beginner) and each main section is broken down into several workouts, each targeting different body parts for different times. (arms/abs, 15 min...full wkout, 35 min...legs/arms, 15 min...) If you're just starting out, get yourself a mat and give this a try!
