Them music is not good pilates music. I can not feel/get into the music. One dvd is weird dancing/aerobic. And the other two DVD's are basically the same thing! She's just repeating herself! They're boring! Not typical pilates. I've seen better instructor's.

I am a beginner to both pilates and yoga so this video was a bit intimidating at first. I found that with practice I was able to do most of the techniques presented so I sort of "grew" on me. I liked the way I could lengthen or shorten the sessions depending on what I felt I needed at the time. Camera work showed the detail I needed and went well with the instruction. I didn't like the fact that all of the women working out in the video were the same body type - emaciated. This really showed up when some of them lifted their arms and their ribs stuck out more then their... Anyway, I would like to see a beginner-oriented video where at least a few token participants looked somewhat more robust. Overall, this is an exercise video that I can use to improve my strength & flexibility.
Jennifer Kries is one of my all time favorite instructors, she knows what she's doing and takes you step by step so even newbies can perform the moves correctly (which is VERY important! especially in Pilates) The Method is also one of my favorite series because they have great music and drummers that keep you motivated and this video in particular hits every spot and is a great all over toner, I'm still using it years later. Putting away the VCR so I'm buying it on DVD.
I have been using this DVD for years and it always does the trick! I just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy by c section and some of you know how that goes : ) but this DVD has been so wonderful for toning and strengthening those muscles. The video is only 45 minutes as well so its easier to sneak that in during a nap, and you never have to leave (breastfeeding moms or those that just can't get to the gym). BOTTOM LINE.. GREAT FOR EVERYONE! BUY IT .. YOU'LL LOVE IT MARGIELAMOM
