This is my favorite of all the Winsor Pilates workouts. The routine includes well known Pilates exercises like leg lifts and heel taps, but then Mari Winsor manages to increase the thigh and butt work with her signature thigh-focused series. This workout really delivers what it promises, a higher "rear view" and more toned, slimmer thighs. I LOVE this workout because you can get great results doing it just 2-3 times a week, and it's just 20 minutes long. Definitely recommended for pear-shaped gals.

This DVD is wonderful. If you do the exercises correctly it will reshape your buttocks in record time. I have a JLo type of body and it made my butt smaller, rounder and tighter in a few weeks. The exercises HURT LIKE HELL, but the pain is all worth it.

Terrific workout! Really burned and I was sore for a day or so after. Recommended to anyone! I do it everyday and I saw results fast! I went from a flat and wide bum to a tight and toned adorable bubble butt!

I have alot of winsor pilates workouts and this definitely is my favorite one. if you do this 3-4 times a week, you'll get results FAST! =)

This workout burns like you're going to die while you are doing it, but leaves minimal soreness afterward. I noticed significant increases in flexibility, strength, and endurance after 6 weeks using it just once a week. An excellent workout!

This is dvd addresses areas of your body that normally are not worked out enough in other pilates dvd's (I have a TON!). It is basically no impact and very easy on your joints, feet, and ankles but you will feel a BURN in your buttocks as you are doing these exercises. Mari is VERY encouraging and makes you feel like you will see a difference very quickly (which I have!). The dvd is only about 18 or 19 mins. long so you can easily fit it in your day. It is basically 8-9 minutes on each side. Time will go by very quickly while your are doing this dvd. I love it! I use it almost every day now.

I like this dvd. It's short but effective. I'm still feeling the burn 2 days later!!!

I bought the Windsor series in 2002. I don't remember how much I paid, but it wasn't that much. I started using it (buns and thighs) right away because that's where my fat and cellulite decided to live. My genetic makeup made me a pear shape so I had to do something about it. Clothes never fit right. I would take a 10-12 top and a 12-14 bottom so I would be loose at the top and tight at the bottom! Well, after starting buns and thighs, what a difference! And Mari's right, takes only 3 times a week at, what, 20 minute workout? Now, I'm fortunate because I bought this when it was produced by Guthry-R..... and now there's a different producer. When I bought it, there was a set of 4 discs in the box...one for each part of the body. I gave the other discs away because I wanted to concentrate on my issue points.

It doesn't matter how old or young you are. Just do it, and really do it, don't play around with the exercises. Give it your best shot. Mari doesn't talk too much and gives just the right information. Now FYI, I'm almost 65, have been sitting around feeling sorry for myself after knee joint replacements,and always was afraid to start exercising again. I thought exercising would make my knees worse, but this program, along with stationary biking, made me feel so much better in only one day! And my knees don't bother me as much as before. For those of you who don't know how the knee works, it's the muscles and ligaments that make the knee stronger and the only way to do that is to exercise. I have finally got out of my "victim" role and faced my ow demons and decided to finally do this for myself.

I do believe the price is exhorbitant but worth it if you use it and are fully committed to doing the exercises as presented and at least 3 times a week. It takes a small amount of time. Since I bought the set around 2002, I couldn't find it in my home although I searched everything twice. On the third try, I found it! And used it that day. I feel steadier and not as wobbly, after only one day,plus some stationary bike riding, but no more than 10-15 min. a day right now. My self esteem has risen dramatically and I'm on the road to getting off these 50 lbs. I gained since my knee operations. Ladies, and men too, these exercises WORK but only if you do them and are committed to them. My saddlebags are diminishing as is my cellulite. Now I believe I can get into a bathing suit this summer and enjoy the water instead of covering up and being ashamed of my body. While there are those who can't do anything about their bodies, if you can do something, anything, especially something like this, you will be giving yourself a wonderful gift of fitting into clothes you always wished you could wear, or put on something right off the rack and have it fit perfectly because your "bottom" will, in time, and not that much time, match your "bottom." Get it, and do it, if your buns and thighs are your problem areas. We are supposed to accept ourselves as we are, but if I did that and continued my unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle I would be a pretty big gal. At this age, it's definitely time to stop those unhealthy habits (and at any age) and love myself and be the best I can be and stop feeling sorry for myself because I "can't wear what other people wear." Get it, DO it, it Works!

I don't know yet if I can tell a difference because I've only been using it for 2 weeks. I love the work out though! It is not easy and definitely builds strength!! It's quick enough (about 15 minutes) that I can add it on to any work out. Also, pilates is apartment-friendly. There is no jumping around and disturbing the people below you. That's always a positive!!

This was a replacement order for my wife and she is a
believer. She says it's the best workout she has ever had
and when our first copy went missing she insisted nothing else would do.
Still Works.
