This video was specifically designed for teachers in training, that is why workout I and II are the same exercises. This tape is called "intermediate" not for the exercise progressions, but because the detailed explainations regarding muscle contraction, dynamics, etc. are more involved than in the workout I video. If you are considering this video for use as an at-home workout, you might be more satisfied with another product. If you have already been studying the Method for some time, you will find the information on this video helpful and interesting. I enjoyed the video very much, but it was required study material for me, so I don't think everyone will share my view. Hope this helps...

This is wonderful Pilates video, but it is nearly the same as PhysicalMind Workout I. I was disappointed since I got the same workout in both vidoes, just different people.

This video is misnamed. It should really be called a Pilates Classical Matwork video. It is worth it's weight in gold to anybody who wants a follow along video of 18 of the original 34 classical matwork exercises as taught by Joseph Pilates. The correct number of repetitions are followed. Breathing is stressed. Since group classes held by a certified Pilates instructor can be very expensive, this video will be invaluable to anyone serious about their Pilates matwork. I found following the expertly performed matwork by only one person, very easy to follow, and precisely what I wanted.
