This is a video that any intermediate level of fitness can do. The sequences are strenuous and you will feel yourself sweating. You will definitely be feeling this one the next day. You don't need a mat, weights, or any extra materials to do this dvd. You get a pretty good cardio workout along with strength and flexibility which makes this dvd in particular all the more appealing.

This was a little challenging at first, but if you are like me and get bored with videos after a while, this is one to add to the collection. Her pilates variations add an extra challenge that will not bore you and target specific areas in 15 min sections. Great workout!

And yes, there is lots of Pilates- but more on that later.
I am a fan of the original Target Specifics, and I waited for a long time to pick this up because I didn't think this would live up. I was wrong- this was very effective. My one complaint was that there were some exercises where she used a lot of reps- I'd rather fewer reps of more exercises- but overall I found it to be both challenging and fun.
Yes, there were some yogic inspirations here, particularly downward dog, tree and cat (among others), but I saw just as much if not more Pilates: the single leg stretch, side lying series variations, the Pilates pushup and mermaid being perhaps the most recognizable, but there were also some modifications to some other lesser known (but still authentic) Pilates movements, such as the Rowing Series, Towel Work (created by Ron Fletcher, a student of Pilates himself), Star and Kneeling Side Kicks variants, Chest Expansion, Rollups and at least one more that I'm forgetting. Also, while Pilates in classes and videos does tend to be slower, the ultimate goal of the original matwork series is to move quickly- sometimes as quickly as fifteen minutes for the whole thing (check out Hilary Burnett's Pilates Advanced and Romana's Pilates - Ultimate Challenge Mat Workout).
Aside from getting a great workout, I also felt, as a Pilates instructor, that there was some very innovative choreography that can be incorporated into my classes, although maybe ... Read More

I bought this video expecting it to be easy. Boy was it challenging and I was in decent shape. So expect to get your butt kicked if you just starting out. I also just had a baby not too long ago and found that the Post partum exercise class my OB GYN told me take uses a lot of pilates. After my insurace ran out, I took out this video and it is great for mom's. Of course talk to you doctor about it first.

Well I saw this DVD at Ross, so I got it for a great deal. I was expecting it to be a pilates workout. Well this wasn't the case, but overall it's still a great way to get into shape. So much so, I have been out of shape for a while and this definately isn't a beginner's DVD. If you're just starting out I'd recommend something else. Also, I do agree I don't like the fake tropical/beach area, and the transitions between the set and the real beach are off. Overall though it seems like a great workout to tone while incorporating some cardio.
