I was very dissapointed in this DVD.
I purchased the Stamina reformer and needed DVDs to go with it.
- There's no chapter and a long introduction. I normally start the DVD before I get dressed and get the performer ready. When I'm ready, I still have to fast-forward to find the beginning of the work-out. For $29.99, I expected an interactive DVD, at least some chapters!
- the exercises are virtually the same that came with the free DVD included with the Performer I purchased! (Level 1), so if you already have Level 1, you are wasting $29.99
- the DVD is short, I expected more variations and more exercises.
- the teacher is good but nothing spectacular. I was hoping for more explanation of what each exercise did for my body.
Bottom line: if you already have other Stamina Pilates DVDs, same your money.

Although it seemed at first that this workout was for the lower-body, the exercises near the end are more focused on the upper-body. I like how the narrator is not the person performing the exercises. There were only a few exercises that I had trouble keeping up with, however that gives me something to work towards. Overall, if you already have a preformer/reformer machine then this dvd is perfect! I had fun following along.

This workout by Stamina is a short upper body. It is a little easy but good if you are just learning the reformer. It is good if you need a short workout or are trying to get the upper body in shape, you can add this every day to your regular workout.

I wanted an exercise program for my Pilates reformer. The Stamina tape has way too much stuff at the beginning. I found it really a pain to try and fast forward to get to the exercises. Would not recommend this tape.

Marjolein Brugman is an excellent instructor. I highly recommend any and all of her DVD's.
