Editorial Review: Product Description: Another in the line of the popular DUMMIES series of fitness videos this Pilates program takes the viewer through the basics and presents an exercise program flexible enough to be tailored to viewers of any fitness level. Pilates is an unparalleled way to tone and reshape one's body and here the experienced instructor Michelle Dozois presents 18 strengthening lengthening and toning exercises that are a part of every Pilates mat workout.System Requirements:Color / 61 Minutes / Not RatedFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HEALTH/FITNESS Rating: NR UPC: 013131195194 Manufacturer No: DV11951 Amazon.com: Pilates Workout for Dummies is a 60-minute DVD, ideal for both the first-time and intermediate Pilates exerciser. In the Basic Workout, well-toned instructor Michelle Dozois clearly and patiently presents 18 classic Pilates mat exercises, first demonstrating and explaining, then doing 6 to 10 repetitions. She explains what the Powerhouse is and how to use it, and covers the basics you'll need if you've never done this before (or need to be reminded), offering alignment tips, breathing, and extremely clear instructions for executing each movement. Dozois suggests modifications for making the exercises easier (or, occasionally, more challenging), and includes cautions against common mistakes and reminder tips for doing each exercise effectively. This is a fine first workout for Pilates novices. The Intermediate Workout consists of some of the Basic exercises and several new ones, all done at a faster pace and with more challenging instructions. This is a workout you can progress with! --Joan Price Average Rating:
 Rating:  - InstructiveI've now used this video several times and have been impressed with it. The instructor provides solid, easy to understand explanations. I appreciate the simplicity of the production; there is no cheesy music or distracting panning to other buff exercisers. The moves aren't super easy, but the instructor gives ways to make them easier and also encourages a beginner to only do as many as they are comfortable with. Rating: - Great Intro to PilatesI have a little experience with Pilates. When I moved to a new town, I couldn't find a decent pilates studio, so I started researching for a good instructional video instead. This one had a lot of good reviews and I decided to try it out. The instructions are great and I love the modified examples. Overall, I feel that this video is great for people interested in an introduction to pilates or people like myself who aren't coordinated and need some help to get going. :) I am really glad I bought ...

In some cases it still moves a little quicker than I'd like, but I'm just starting out and haven't done some of the excersises. I'm also taking a class for beginners and this helps learn the correct breathing, and correct positions. Rating: - Great for everyone!I had the "old" VCR tape version of this pilates instruction and have used it for a few years. It was time to upgrade and I was sure to go with the same one. The DVD versoin has an extra advanced section which is great. This routine is made simple - anyone can do it and you WILL see results ! I recommend this to anyone just starting to exercise as well as advanced people looking for something different to mix in with the weights and cardio. Order today !! Rating: - 1st time pilates userThis dvd was very easy to follow and keep up with. I have been using it 3 times a week for 6 weeks now and have not grown tired of it. The instruction is VERY thorough and proper form is reiterated during the exercises as a constant reminder to the user. Excellent introduction to beginning pilates with no previous knowledge or experience. In addition, it has provided some relief to my neck and back problems that I have experienced with other forms of exercise in the past. In the last 2 weeks I have ...
