I love this DVD. My favorite part is how you get a very good abs workout without having to do a cruch or a sit-up. I hate sit-ups and crunches because I stress my neck and shoulders. The floor mat part of this DVD introduces so many alternatives to work the ab muscles - LOVE IT!!!
It is very much Pilates for beginners (like me). Not only am I out of shape but I lived a very sedentary lifestyle with lots of TV watchign. I like the pace and I like that there is no jumping up and down non-sense since I live on the 3rd floor of an apt building.

I like the instructor on this tape. I have knee problems too like someone else said in their review, so I liked the mat portion better that the standing portion. The standing portion does however work my upper thighs fairly well.

This is a great dvd for first timers. Some of the moves should have more reps to be a bit more of a challenge. Since she demonstrates each move before you are supposed to do it, once you learn them you can do the extra reps on your own. I think this is best for beginners and those who can't do low or high impact workouts.

I'm 46 years old and though I'm on my feet all day and moving around, I'd noticed that I was groaning every time I had to bend down to pick something up off of the floor. My knees and legs were behaving as if they belonged to someone else and weren't all that interested in listening to what my brain told them to do. So, I went in search of an exercise routine that wouldn't require me to start out by using heavy weights or bouncy balls - both of which you need muscles and coordination to use. If I had those, then I wouldn't need to exercise! Anyway, I found Tracey's wonderful workout dvd and I couldn't be more pleased with how it's making me feel already - just in two weeks!
Each exercise is broken up into small sets. You don't feel like you've been doing the same routine over and over and over until you're ready to just switch it off and go have a bowl of ice cream. She keeps things moving and you really don't feel like you're working too hard, even though your heart's pumping and the sweat starts trickling down your face.
You end the workout feeling like you've had a real workout but not feeling like you'll "never do that again!".
I feel like my body is moving more fluidly and I can bend over without groaning. My legs and knees aren't ignoring me anymore, either!
Yes, I highly recommend this workout for people who are starting out with pilates, or just starting out with exercising, period! It will help loosen you up, get you a bit stronger and ... Read More

I found this at a thrift store and decided to take a chance I'd done Winsor pilates before and thought it was great. This video is a joke.
