Really worked on my core and toned up my abs and arms. Worked well for my beginner level and was easy to get back into when I got out of shape again. Excellent DVD!

My Favorite Workout DVD!!!

I loved the original AM/PM Pilates DVD and was distraught when it got scratched. I didn't think I could find a better replacement, but I did! What a bonus that I got those 2 workouts I loved plus 3 more on the same disc! This DVD is awesome to keep your body challenged by not letting your muscles get too used to the same workout. You couldn't ask for a better DVD!!!
These are filmed in the same location and are extremely similar or the same as routines on another DVD I have of Jillian's. I really wish they wouldn't do this. Why should I pay for the same routines just arranged differently.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For someone who hasn't exercised in a long time, this DVD was a great help in starting to ease into a good workout that breaks a little sweat. There are 5 workouts lasting about 25-30 minutes each. The 5 workouts are called: Easy Pilates (beginner), Maintenance Pilates for Weight Loss (gets me feeling a good sore the next day), Cardio Pilates, AM Pilates, and PM Pilates. I'm glad that there are 5 workouts in 1 dvd so that i don't get bored with one workout. The Maintenance Pilates was a challenge, I couldn't follow exactly what she was doing since it was difficult for me to do, but even attempting it really worked my body.
There are parts of this that are new to me, which I liked, but some of the same poses are repeated on different program tracks, so it doesn't feel like 5 different workouts. Even though I'm an intermediate yogi, I found the cardio part of that particular workout to be difficult, almost annoying. But then I like my yoga/pilates to be relaxing, which that definitely was not. I will recommend this, as it's not a bad DVD, just not totally what I was expecting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

As a beginner to pilates, this DVD is challenging for me. I started with Ana Caban's Quickstart for Weight Loss Pilates, which became too easy for me. I am a fan of Ana Caban, and she has four workouts on this DVD. I did not like the one workout from the other woman. One of the workouts is a short, 12 minute pilates explanation, so there are really only three workouts that I do regularly on the DVD, which is still a good value for the money. It gives me variety, since I do pilates three days a week.
