Pilates Weight Loss Workout For Dummies (DVD, 2004)

I THINK ALL THE "FOR DUMMIES" BOOKS ARE PRETTY WELL DONE. THEY USE HUMOR TO HOLD YOUR ATTENTION. THIS BOOK IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR BEGINNERS I THINK. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS AWHILE

I had heard good reviews about the Workout for Dummies series and wanted to try it for myself. It is a shorter workout and simple to understand for beginners. It doesn't require additonal exercise equipment except for a floor mat that can be improvised with a heavy towel.

I had this DVD and loved it for my exercise routine. It is simple and easy to understand and follow. My daughter moved out of town and I gave her my copy so that she could have one to use. I searched ebay for a replacement copy. I am delighted to have a new copy so that I can continue my routine.
Thanks for asking,

Far more than I expected. I ordered some pilates workouts that weren't quite up to snuff. This one is fantastic, easy-to-follow and quite, quite effective. I recommend it very highly. Top Notch. You'll enjoy it.

I bought this DVD expecting to get a good workout with lots of muscule toning, especially in the abs.
What I got was a lot of stretching with very little muscle toning, almost none in the abs. I only counted one exercise as focusing on the abdominal muscules. Strange, since I thought Pilates was all about having a strong "powerhouse" or "core" in the abdomen.
Good workout if you want increased flexibility. For everything else, skip it.

I rented this DVD from the library and tried the workout and it was great. I do the workout nearly everyday and I can see and feel a difference. I would definately recomend Pilaties For Dummies to everyone.

I do like this Dvd, not as much as the yoga version. I find some of the pilates movements rather hard (I'm not very graceful or skilled in that area!) but you can adjust them and the dvd gives you tips on how to lower the difficulty of the move. It can be hard on the knees so I would first be familiar with Pilates and already be doing some type of cardio, yoga or pilates before starting this video. Or you can skip the standing pilates and focus only on the mat work, working your way up to the standing pilates. Overall, its a great use of pilates, yoga and cardio all rolled into one. I use it combined with the Yoga for Weight Loss for Dummies and find it very helpful and I've lost 6 lbs in one month! (combined with walking, and sensible diet!) A great buy for moderate pilates users and beginners could use it as well with some practice.

I just bought this dvd and watched it for the first time and am very impressed with it. The instructor has a nice calm voice that directs your every move. I love that is has some cardio mixed with the pilates. I also love the music. It is upbeat and not boring like some exercise videos. It is not too long, but not too short either. Just right I think. Overall great dvd.

I never received the DVD. I will not attempt to buy anything else from the seller. I never heard from them , but they got the money.

This DVD is great for beginners. It arrived in an adequate amount of time and is in perfect condition. Thanks!
