 Lovely workout June 10, 2006

I bought this workout a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy it. I don't think this would suit an advanced level of pilates, as each section is only 10 minutes long. The sections are: Pilates for abs, Pilates for buns and thighs, Sculpting Pilates, Pilates Burn, Pilates for flexibility. You can do just one section or as many as you like, depending on time available or your mood. If you're a beginner, then I think doing two or three sections everyday would be best (especially as the Pilates Burn and Pilates for buns and thighs are quite tough - even though they're short and you do only 4 or so repetitions of each exercise, but boy, can you feel it!)However, this dvd does not explain the basic techniques of pilates, especially the breathing and using your "core", it just plunges straight into the exercise (which is really good if you're intermediate like me), so if I had not used other dvd's before I would not have learnt about the importance of breath. Having said that though, the instructor's cues are really good, she always says when you're supposed to inhale/exhale, so it really wouldn't be too much of a problem even if this was your first pilates video. As I mentioned, if you're advanced then I would probably give this a miss, as all the exercises are typical of those you'd probably know from other videos and the sections might not be intense enough for you.
As an intermediate, I use the whole DVD for an intense weekend workout, or just two or three section when I come back late from work and am just too tired to push myself too hard. My favourite section is Pilates for flexibility, this includes some lovely stretches for the spine, hips and legs. The instructor is lovely and encouraging without being patronising and the 10 minutes of each section fly by very quickly. I really wish the other American 10 Minute Solutions were available on Region 2 format.

I am relatively new to pilates, but this workout has been one of my favourites. I find that it provides a good variety - including segments for your arms & shoulders and a relaxing/flexability segment which I really enjoy. Parts are very challenging and are not suitable for new new beginners, but are a great challenge to work up to!
wow! It really works! February 16, 2007

The 10 minute pilates is fantastic. There are different options for abs, toning the arms, flexiblity etc... I am not really an exercise person but I found it most enjoyable. You can adapt it to your lifestyle 10 mins or more you can also adapt it to your physical fitness level. A beginner might have to rewind or slow it down to understand the breathing that relates to the exercise. The instructor is very encouraging and motivates you to continue when you can feel the 'burn' Fantastic DVD..
great workout July 18, 2006

I thought this was a really well structured work out that was challenging. There are 5 sections that concentrate on different parts of the body. There is even a pilates `burn` set that really does get you sweating followed by a stretching cool down section.
The exercises really work at toning the muscles without building bulk and is low impact. The teacher is clear and a good pilates practitioner.
I don't think this is for begginners as you hvae to have a basic knowledge of core strength and pilates breathing. I highly recommend it. The only moan is the cheesy music. It would be better with no music.
Best Pilates DVD January 14, 2007

I've tried quite a few Pilates DVDs and this one is by far the best. The rest put me to sleep and are now gathering dust on the shelf. This one is much more energetic and fast paced. I'm a relative newbie since I didn't stick with the other DVDs and so this one is quite challenging for me but not so challenging as to make me want to give up. The fact that it's broken up into 10 min sections is excellent so that you can pick and mix which areas of your body you choose to work on that particular day. This one is a winner!
