3 short (10-minute) workouts. New to Pilates, it is easy to understand the principles from the introduction, and then get started. Do all 3 workouts, and you have worked on toning and strengthening your entire body. Builds strength without first requiring the strength of wonderwoman, and it is all floorwork (minimal sweat; important if you have a busy lifestyle, or choose to do the workouts as part of your morning routine). Make sure you have a somewhat cushioned floor space. I used a folded blanket on my hardwood floor. Recommended as a good first step toward achieving fitness goals.

I recently saw an infomercial about Pilates and found it to be very interesting. I purchased this tape and I LOVE IT!!! The instructor walks you through the workouts and the count down timer is the best. I love the tape so much because you can do one 10 min. segment or do the entire tape for a full body workout. This tape is a great addition!!

Just started w pilates,have done yoga before, but am out of shape and need core work. This tape is fun, ten minute sections are just right, the ab section could be a litle harder, but i feel like i have had a nice work out by the time i have done all three sections, and it goes fast. This one is a keeper.

I ordered this because the 3 10-minute segments appealed to me. You can always squeeze in ten minutes, and while you're there, maybe you'll do 20 or the whole 30. It goes fast, the instruction is good, and I love the countdown timer. Good tape--especially for those times when you can't face a whole hour of exercise.

I am a beginner with Pilates and found this video to be perfect for me! I usually go through all three 10 minute workouts in a row. The moves in all 3 sections offer enough challenge that I feel I've really done something when I am through. Tracy York does not strike me as being "fake" or pretentious at all. She does an excellent job of explaining all the moves, and acts like a professional instructor who knows what she's doing. I would recommend this video to anyone who knows the basics and wants to learn a little more. I give this 5 stars!

I bought this tape four months ago, and reviewed it three months ago. I still really like this tape, I am much stronger and recovering from injury. I have graduated to a denise austin piltes/mat work out series to alternate with this one. This tape is a great place to start on the road to pilates. Yesterday I did 30 mintues of belly dance, 20 mins of work out with hand weights, and 20 mintues of pilates, and 8 min abd tape. this tape got me started. go for it.

This was my first Pilates video I bought and I love it! I disagree with the poster who says the workouts are not for the injured. I have a slipped disk in my neck, and the modifications suggested during the workout are appropriate, while still allowing a work out of your core muscles. I like the 10 minute segments (who doesn't have 10 minutes?) and have definitely seen results within a 3 week period doing 3 10 minute workouts and 1 30 minute workout. I also have less low back achiness at the end of my workday. The instructor provides clear instructions and helpful reminders during the segments.

Thirty minutes is all you need to feel great. Results are seen immediately!

Too many advanced moves. She has you do situps without bent knees (bad for backs). Not for beginners.

If you follow it correctly, and eat an appropriate diet, you will see results. Pilates does more for people who have high metabolisms.

Do it right and you will feel the burn!
