4.0 out of 5 stars Pilates Beginner, April 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Zone - Pilates Mat Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was pleasantly surprised by this video. I found it to be a very good, quick paced, challenging workout. With a running time of 35 minutes, it is a jam-packed routine. This is perfect for someone who is short on time and wants a good workout. I actually found this to be a bit more challenging than the the video it was bundled with - "Pilates for Weight Loss" video (running time 60 minutes). From the reviews I read on "Pilates for Weight Loss", I really thought that it would be a better workout, but I think I like the "Zone" routine better.

4.0 out of 5 stars For beginners!, August 22, 2002

By	JD (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zone - Pilates Mat Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a beginner, so I am glad I purchased this video. Although I should be thankful for the amount of time spent on instruction, I was instead disappointed that I didn't feel I 'worked out' much. Attention was given more to quality rather than quantity, which was great, but I didn't feel like I did much after the run of the tape. After using this tape to master the Pilates moves, I will feel confident in purchasing another tape for more of a work out.

I just did the video and it was wonderful! time flew by and she is a great instructor, not annoying at all. It is great for beginners, she gives suggestions on how to modify the workout if you feel your neck strained. Highly recommend it!
