5-0 out of 5 stars Pilates by Candlelight
"Pilates is about fine tuning your whole body and mind..." ~Hilary Burnett
4-0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Beginner (and/or) New mom
As a pilates beginner and mother of a 3-month-old, I think Hilary's video is excellent.She includes very effective verbal cues to remind you of what you should be doing (i.e., "zip your legs up in a mermaid suit").Also, with the 20 minute length, I'm able to complete the workout while my little one watches.

3-0 out of 5 stars Read before purchasing
Workout background: I am a step-aerobics, elliptical runner, weight-lifting kind of girl, 2-3 days per week, with half-hour walks on off days.I have only attended an hour-long Pilates class twice at my fitness center, after which I felt invigorated and challenged to the core.Thus, I decided Pilates was something I wanted to pursue further.

Editorial Review

This video presents two 15-minute workouts with an unusual approach that combines strength training, yoga, ballet, and the work of Joseph Pilates, concentrating on posture, abdominal strengthening, and balance. The best part is the postural and abdominal strengthening you'll get throughout the workout if you concentrate on the instructions. The first segment uses light weights for upper-body sculpting, with most of the work focusing on the shoulders. (The instructor claims you're working chest and arms, too, but because of the way you're holding the weights and the effect of gravity, the shoulder muscles are supporting the weights most of the time.) This might be an interesting cross-training activity if you're doing traditional strength training in addition, but it isn't as effective for upper-body strengthening as the standard weightlifting exercises you'll see in many videos. The second workout targets the legs, buttocks, and hips without weights, and here the workout shines. Kries has you stand upright, abdominals high and buttocks tight, doing slow leg lifts to different directions. This balance work is exceptionally effective to strengthen the torso and lower body. If you like the concept of deep abdominal training plus work on posture and balance, start with Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Fast & Effective Results
I have owned this tape for about 7 years and after doing it 2-3 time when I first got it, it has just been collecting dust.I grew tired of the intense and exhausting weight training and aerobics that I had been doing for a few years and decided a little over a month ago to take a break. I decided to do Pilates in the meantime to maintain my muscle tone.I dusted this tape off and was pleasantly surprised.I noticed visible results after the first week even though I was only doing it 2 or 3 times a week.This tape has helped to tighten my stomach considerably.A feat I could not accomplish after years of weight training and ab work.My thighs and [...] are also considerably firmer.All of this in a little over a month's time.The tape is not the most energizing or interesting, but I don't think that is the point of the excercises.If you are looking for a way to calm down after a long day and still tone your body, this is a wonderful tape.The instructor can be a little dry and over explanatory, but she is clear and concise in what you need to do.She very rarely gives instruction without being in a pose or an excercise herself.So, once you become familiar with the instruction, there is no need to wait for her to finish.Just start the excercise without her or maintain the pose while she is talking.I am enjoying my hiatus from strenuous excercise that I really dreaded and still seeing amazing results thanks to this tape.

5-0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!AN EXCERCISE TAPE I WILL ACTUALLY DO EVRY DAY!!!!
I LOVE THIS TAPE!!! Finally, Finally, Finally an excercise tape that doesn't assume I'm an olympic gymnast! This tape is perfect for someone trying to incorporate excercise after having rather sedentary habits. This is the fourth or fifth tape I've purchased and out of those only one was even do-able by someone like me. ( Perfect Pilates: I would do half the tape but still had some trouble) This tape isn't boring because the excercises change from one to another. Also just when you think OH-no, here we go... a really difficult excercise... she only has you do it three or four times and gently moves to something else. Her voice is calm and she TEACHES how to stand correctly during the excercises so your not hurting yourself..It's like having a personal instructor!! But one I can afford! I feel every muscle in my body but they aren't KILLING me, they feel GOOD. Before this tape, I had a pain in my back for about four months that.. And I am not exaggerating... that 4 month old pain that was making it hard to sleep, went away after doing the tape...not for a month or a week but after the FIRST time I did the tape. It used to hurt when I took in a deep breath and that night suddenly I noticed it was gone!! I'm almost 42, not very physically active..this tape is THE perfect group of excercises if you need to become flexible, strong without being screamed at and jolted around the room like your in bootcamp. I also had no trouble following along without cranking my neck in the middle of an awkward stretch because she explains and eases you through from one excercise to the next.(I watched the tape through one time before starting). Really, at the end of the tape Jennifer says "Thank You" and I find myself saying "No, Thank YOU". This is a tape that I KNOW I will actually do! ~A HEART FELT THANK YOU TO JENNIFER KRIES~

2-0 out of 5 stars THE PAINFUL THRUTH(WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW)(RATE ME!!)
i BOUGHT THIS TAPE, AND WAS SO EXCITED, SO i PUT IT ON AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS NOTHING OF WHAT i WAS EXPECTING, SHE STARTS TALKING EXPLAINING THINGS YOU ALREADY KNOW AND THE WORKOUTS ARE VERY BORING

4-0 out of 5 stars quick and to the point
The pilates method tape is a combination of yoga, resistance, light weights, stretching and the "side series".The excercises moved quickand I found this to be more yoga influenced rather than traditional pilates. I'm not sure if I am crazy about this tape yet.I love The Method - Pilates- Precision Toning tape I have not yet done the 3 Dimensional Toning yet but ....we will see.

5-0 out of 5 stars FLEXIBILITY,TONING AND A LITTLE LIGHT CARDIO.
This is a set of two (pilates, ballet and yoga influenced)videos.The first video is called 3 D toning which has a thirty minutes standing ballet/yoga section,which focuses on mainly hips and thighs,it then concludes,with twenty minutes of pilates mat core conditioning floorwork which concentrates on the abs and legs, this is my favorite video because it stretches me out and makes me feel elongated,flexible and like a dancer.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars It will be a nice workout.
I was new to the world of Stott Flex Band Pilates and looked forward to adding some of these Flex Band videos to my library.Only one problem of which to be aware.You will more than likely need the video that comes with her specific Flex Band.I ordered the video only as I already own a variety of Flex Bands. Turns out, to do these Stott Pilates Flex Band videos, you must use a 5 ft. Flex Band.These bands will be fully stretched from the tips of your toes to the ends of your fingers, while your hands are fully extended above your head.Mine were not long enough to perform many of the exercises on her videos and I am having to order a 5ft Flex Band now before I can fully utilize these tapes.Just make sure you have extra long Flex Bands before buying the videos that don't include one of hers.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good upper body pilates
The flex-band workout adds a whole different dynamic to the normal Pilates workout.In particular, it refocuses most of the attention to the upper arm muscles rather than the core abdominals. After completing this tape, my arms were aching, but I felt like I still needed to work my abdominals by doing another tape. Basically you do a series of regular Pilates exercises like the hundred, corkscrew, single leg stretch, scissors, etc, but incorporate the band to give resistance to your arms or legs. At times, this can be awkward and if you aren't comfortable with the band, it can be a little frustrating when the band snaps off your foot. Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars pleasant and gentle stretching video
It's a shame the packaging is so badly done because the video itself is quite nice - perfect for light exercise before bedtime. The model on the front cover, who never appears in the video, is wearing sneakers; sneakers are not necessary.But you do need a stretchy exercise band or a long towel, which is never mentioned on the box, as far as I can tell.The last two segments are mislabeled. Segment 2 is primarily lower body (not upper) and vice-versa for segment 3.This is more of a mild toning and stretching video, which is a letdown for people who believe they are getting a "DYNAMIC firming and flexing" program (as the title implies). Lakey gives clear instructions, exhibits a positive and motivating personality, and all the demonstrators use good form.The music, light drum and harp, is soft and pleasant. I really do like this video. If it were properly labeled I'd give it 4 stars.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good Supplement - But Not a First Choice
I purchased two Pilates videos last January and began using them on regular basis. The Denise Austin video is better at strength building.Occasionally I use Dynamic Firming and Flexing to vary the muscle groups, but I never feel as if I have received the full benefit from the time spent.

3-0 out of 5 stars It's not all that bad, just slow
Many of the "Method" workout tapes have Pilates but in this case only a small portion is dedicated to the Pilates, it is mostly stretching.That's right stretching.This whole tape is stretching and not like the "Precision Toning" tape where Pilates is used but like before you get moving, painfully slow and repetitive stretching.I wasn't expecting this to be so basic, I was expecting just Pilates. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Stott Fit and Firm
I've been doing Pilates for several months along w/ my daily Yoga practice and it's been an incredible and effective addition to my program!
4-0 out of 5 stars Good Workout
This dvd provides a good overall pilates workout.Moiraprovides good detailed instructions.My one complaint would be the camera sometimes would concentrate so much on a specfic body part that you would miss what you should be doing with the rest.

5-0 out of 5 stars a smooth transition from level 1's "The Secret to Flat Abs"
Another excellent Pilates instruction!! Moira truly is the best at instructing you to safely perform the Pilates exercises. I have been doing this DVD for a couple weeks now and it is still a challenge to get through. I still have to do 3 of the exercises how they did it in modified form in the level 1 DVD (I have reviewed that one on Amazon as well :) )but with a little more strengthening of my core I know I will be able to do them the way they are performed on this DVD. Moira again instructs as another is performing the exercises and she doesn't leave you hanging between exercises with idle talk. If you are a beginner definitely start with the level 1 DVD as there is a lot of modified exercises to help you from over-straining your back and neck that will strengthen you and prepare you to be able to do the versions on this DVD. I also love that Moira keeps reminding when to breath in and out during the exercises because it is so important to be breathing properly. Keep up the good work Moira!! I already have the level 3 and 4 and can't wait to be able to say I have completed the whole series!!

Short on time? Do just one of these three 10-minute Pilates routines, emphasizing abdominals, lower body, and total body, respectively. With the intensity of Pilates, you won't feel that you're cheating by doing just 10 minutes. Skilled instructor Tracy York first introduces you to the principles of Pilates in case you're new to this discipline. Then she leads you in a variety of well-chosen Pilates exercises, instructing clearly, with plenty of technique tips. One demonstrator shows easier modifications. You can do these routines on different days or combine them when you have the time. The QuickFix series features a countdown timer, so you don't have to wonder how much time you have left to go. This workout is a recommended way to fit in the power of Pilates on days you have to watch the clock. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great videos!
I have may videos from the Quick Fix series and I would highly reccomend them all. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendley and the moves are easily explained and demonstrated. This is a good video-I usually do it on a day when I have been running or spinning. I am not a trainer and I do think that any excercise is better then none-but I would also reccomend some cardio excercise. It is a good additon to one's collection.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not Bad
I really like the way that Pilates can help you attain a leaner look within a short amount of time.The instructor in this video is calm and very helpful which can be beneficial if you're new to Pilates.I liked the timer at the bottom of the screen.That's an added bonus.
5-0 out of 5 stars Fun workout video
If you follow it correctly, and eat an appropriate diet, you will see results. Pilates does more for people who have high metabolisms.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great :-)
Leslie has created a very easy and straight forward Pilates series (one floor toning that is over 15 minutes and one 10 minute toning segment).She starts off teaching you the basics (verbally) talking about the techniques and terms about each movement so it's easier to visualise when you're doing them.You then do those movements in the first workout and then in the second workout, it becomes a little more advanced because you use resistance bands and many muscles at a time.I find her to be encouraging and motivating and talks you through each move in a friendly way and I like that.The only thing you need is a resistance band, and you will tone muscles you never knew you had.It's a great workout that I enjoy doing.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great way to get started or restarted!
After seeing all the Pilates infomercials on TV I thought I'd give it a try. As I searched Amazon for a place to start I came across Leslie's DVD.I have one of her Walk Away the Pounds workouts and really enjoy it so I thought I'd give this one a try too.
3-0 out of 5 stars Good and Bad both...
She's not as irritating as her walk videos (thank goodness!) but there are still a few issue - at first I thought it was going to be a really good basic video, with her explaining it all, etc..

3-0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected
I am an intermediate level Pilates practioner who has taken a few classes.The description on the cover of this tape led me to expect a fast-moving, challenging intermediate level workout.Instead, this tape turned out to be a relatively slow-moving Pilates practice which would be more appropriate for beginners.Many of the exercises are modified versions of the classic Pilates moves, but those brand-new to Pilates might have difficulties following along, as there is only limited instruction given by Moira Stott to her two students.This workout would be best suited to advanced beginners who want a workout that moves at a steady pace and can be completed in under 30 minutes.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not Challanging Enough for Intermediate
I bought this tape as an 'intermediate' tape after the very excellent basic intro "Pilates for Dummies". The instruction is first rate w/ Ms. Stott running a very thin male and female model through their paces. While there are new exercizes and more intensity than the 'For Dummies" tape, it was not challenging enough to be considered the next level for my interest. It does work nicely as a straight through program (w/ out having to fast forward too much), but I suggest this as a challenging beginner's tape instead of your next purchase after getting the basics down. I may try the intermediate or advanced tapes of this series, but this once didn't quite do it for me.

5-0 out of 5 stars Stott Power Mat Workout
Excellent next step after mastering the intermediate tape - two students show clearly how to modify each excercise for your level and body type. If you are already doing the advanced tape this will not be a challenge foryou. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars A flowing, blended workout
This review refers only to the third tape of this series, "Strengthen," which I found to be a blend of Pilates and yoga movements.The best part of this tape is the way that the movements flow into one another, as the moves are presented in a series of sequences.Each sequence consists of 5-6 exercises, and each exercise is repeated 5-10 times before moving to the next.5-0 out of 5 stars Superb video
If you want a fast and furious workout, this video is not for you. But then, why would you be doing Pilates in the first place? The movements may seem slow to some, but they are supposed to be done that way. Fast usually means sloppy. 2-0 out of 5 stars Boring Snoring
I have been to many Pilates classes, and although I am only eight I have been doing Pilates for three years.I like fast and difficult. This was slow and snoring. I was staring at the time bar,praying for it to be over. I found the movements very repetitive and the production values very cheesy. I found myself yellingat the screen telling her to do something different.At the end my mom and I lay on the floor suddenly I popped up and said "Mom, is she sleeping?" That brings us to my feelings about this tape: one big bore! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An Informative Follow Along Video
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.

4-0 out of 5 stars Just to clarify.....
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...

3-0 out of 5 stars Same ole thing
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. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A nice full-body Pilates routine using the Pilates circle
This is a full-body Pilates workout which incorporates use of the Pilates fitness circle, or bodyring. Instructor Ana Caban works out with a partner, Tara, in a pleasant setting by a pond. The workout begins with approximately 24 minutes of matwork, starting with a few simple stretches and then moving into traditional Pilates moves such as the hundred, the roll-up, and the single leg stretch. For each move, the bodyring is used to enhance the work, either by holding it in-between your feet or squeezing it with your hands to involve the upper body. The second half of the matwork focuses more on the legs and contains a lot of leg press work very similar to Karen Voight's Total Body Toning. The last 10 minutes of the workout are performed seated in a chair. In this segment, Ana uses the ring more for the upper body, but you will also do some additional inner and outer thigh work. Finally, there are some brief stretches, bringing the total workout time in at just under 34 minutes.
