This is the first Pilates dvd I have ever tried, I did it 3x a week for over a year and lost 50lbs! I lost my dvd after this and I went to the store to pick up another one, they did not have this one so I picked up a different one. I did not like it at all, it did not have a full body workout and I also did not feel like I was losing weight and plus it was harder. I went out and bought another one and did not like it either so I just stopped doing pilates. I gained some weight back so I knew I had to get back on it and looked on Ebay and found it for less then half of what I paid in the store. This is the best pilates video that you can possibly buy. You can choose between begginner, intermediate and expert. The beach scene and sounds is amazing and you feel so relaxed at the end of the excercises. Other pilates videos do not come close to comparing to this one! It has helped me so much! I used to have RA and fibromayalgia, the reason I say used too is because this dvd has helped me so so much and now my back and feet no longer hurt and I am in much better shape. My chiroparctor I used to go to said that it has helped me a ton and she can see it, plus also losing the weight has helped me a lot. They make people do pilates as physical therapy at the chiropractor that I went too as they believe in natural cures. I no longer have to go there anymore! I could never do Yoga, I am just not flexible but doing pilates has really given me strength and anyone can do this video. It does not matter if you are overweight, obese or have some sort of disease such as RA, Lupus, Fibromayalgia, back problems, etc. It is so easy! Of course consult your DR but I am sure that he will agree that it will help you a lot. Sticking with this dvd has reversed my RA totally, it has been a dream come true. Arthritis and fatigue is hard at a young age so it is a blessing to have this video. Stay with it because your pain will start to creep back if you stop it like I did when I lost my DVD and you may gain some of the weight back. I had also bought other misc excercise videos before which I watched and did maybe a few times at the most and was just unable to keep up with it. It was too tiring and boring and it was just a waste of money. You can't keep up with those routiness esp if you are obese, and tire easily but with pilates you can. I was so tired of wasting money on things that don't work. You will lose a lot of weight with this video and as a bonus you will also see an improvement in your back and joints. If I can do this anyone can! It is fun to do so you will see your self sticking with it, unlike other videos.Read full review
The DVD is extensive, and has several modified versions to follow, all of which offer a good workout for almost every muscle in your body. At the end of the workout you feel stretched, taller and stronger. If followed regularly, the workout builds stronger, leaner muscles. However, it is not intense, and won't make you lose weight even if done every day. For weight loss and best results, accompany with some form of cardio exercise (walking, jogging, other DVD).
This DVD was excellently done!!! It offers you to follow beginner, intermediate or advanced trainers, but it is not like a traditional video where you see all three instructors on the screen and get lost when the camera zooms in on the one you are not following, leaving you confused as to what to do for your own level. NO, it is not like that!! Instead, you have the option of viewing the instructor teaching ONLY your level. I find that to be magnificent!!! Every video should have such an option!! I highly recommend this video to anyone interested in Pilates and to anyone concerned with concentrating on their own level. With beautiful background settings it offers a serene feeling, which is invigorating to your workout. I know I am not big on those workouts with a modernized, dark or just plain ugly background! 5 STARS for this one!Read full review
Three level work out makes it easy to follow at your own pace.

I love this DVD. Its perfect for my level of Yoga, you can use it if you are just starting out like me or more advanced. It has a nice flow, easy directions and its fun and easy. You might not think you are working out only breathing with control and moving slowly but it works and I can feel it the next day without killing myself at the gym. Its a great DVD.
I've been doing Pilates with a personal instructor for 5 months and almost everythign she does with me, is done on this DVD. If your new to Pilates then you can follow the beginner instructor. If you are an expert, then you can go right to the experienced instructor. My personal Pilates instructor recommended Suzanne Deason (the instuctor on this DVD)so that's why I bought it. I only meet with my personal instructor once a week then I use this DVD two other times during the week. You'll love the results if you actually stick to it.
Oh it is very great to use I have fibromaygia. Not hard on my body it helps to stretch those tight muscles. I would reccomend this to alot to any people whom want to start out. No matter the flexiblity.
It really works....I noticed inches melting away when I tryed on jeans that use to be tight. I use this DVD three times a week and find it easy to follow and a great purchase.
Has all the pilates moves you need. There are also a completely modified and semi-modified version of the program so you can advance as you get stronger. The instruction is clear and thorough. I've tried a lot of pilates DVDs - this one is tops. You can't lose with this DVD.
i got this to lose some weight and it is very good for flexibilty and strenght however it is very slow. It has a great length and good video however it is not very accurate saying its for weight loss.
