Summary: Not my favorite, but it's ok
Comment: I love Ellen Barret but this video is not the best, I think it has good stuff on it but I was too distracted by all the levels.

Summary: Good for a Beginning Exerciser
Comment: I bought this dvd with the intention of building up my skills in pilates, from beginner to advanced over time. The video will definitely help you with weight loss because it keeps your body warm and your blood flowing the whole video. It also provides a good stretch throughout your entire body. However, I've taken pilates classes and have also purchased other videos and found it can be helpful to have further explaination of the pilates moves and proper form. I felt this video lacked this. This video would be helpful for someone who is looking to lose weight and add in some very basic pilates moves, but I felt it had more basic stretching than actual pilates. If I could return the video, I would because it wasn't what I was hoping for. I was a little bored. The instructor is fine, the pace is fine, but it doesn't really focus on classical pilates technique. I recommend this for a beginner or for someone who is easily intimidated by the idea of working out. She makes it very simple and easy to follow along. I would not recommend this for someone who is knowledgable about pilates because you could get bored or frustrated.

Summary: More amazing stuff from Ellen!!
Comment: I just love this workout....yet again another favorite of mine from Ellen Barrett. I've been doing Pilates for a long time and this is a great way to change up my extra at-home workouts. I started using level 2 but have now been able to progress to level 3 for the most part.
This workout is great for someone starting out since it has 3 fitness levels. She always starts out in level 1. Then the level 1 actress stays there while Ellen (who does level 2) and the third actress go to level 2. And then just the third actress moves to the 3rd and final level. It's very nice to see the progression to each level and then to see all levels being demonstrated at the same time.
I am so glad I purchased this workout!!

Summary: Best workout video I've ever done
Comment: I had never tried Pilates before this video, yet it was extremely easy to follow. As long as you do the exercises correctly you will get a phenomenal workout and tone up quickly (while being able to adjust your level accordingly). I have tried everything throughout the years and after having 2 kids I; 1- wasn't able to get that last 6-8 pounds off, 2- was never able to have tone abs and, 3- did not have time to go to a gym. The workout is only 30 minutes.... and doing it 3-4 times a week I lost the weight (& then some- with my same diet) and have never been so tone in my life! The video is deceptive in that you don't feel like you are killing yourself working out but if done appropriately you will get a great workout. I would (& do) suggest it to everyone.

Summary: great for beginners
Comment: I really enjoy using this DVD, because you can pick your level. Some exercises I can use level 1 but others I can go up to either level 2 or 3. I like it because it seems to go real quick and i don't have to go buy a new dvd, when say one of the levels becomes too easy for me I can just go on up to the next level.

Awarded Top Workout DVD of 2006 by Natural Health Magazine, this Weight Loss Pilates program is a great way to slim down and develop a long, lean, graceful body. Fitness expert Ellen Barrett chose the best of the best out of three types of Pilates – standing, side-lying and mat Pilates – to create three different 10-minute routines. Each routine was developed using a dynamic, flowing technique which eliminates all the repositioning that takes up so much time in other Pilates workouts – so you’ll get maximum results in minimum time! The Pick Your Level System Makes Working Out As Easy As 1-2-3. Here’s how: Just Push Play—there’s no programming required. Within the workout, three instructors each show the moves modified for a specific level: 1, 2 or 3. You simply follow along and do each move at the level that feels right for you. Remember, this is your workout – you don’t have to stick with one level throughout the entire routine. You may prefer to stick mostly with Level 1, but choose a few Level 2 or 3 moves occasionally. You can customize the workout as you progress or as your energy level varies from day to day. Whatever level you choose, know that Ellen specifically designed this program so that all of the levels are really effective.
