I’m a mother of 4, and this Pilates Weight Loss DVD is the perfect workout to do at home. It’s really helping me tone my saggy “muffin-top” waist area, while giving me the total stretching and strengthening I need. The visual demonstrations are very clear, and the detailed verbal instructions give me all the coaching I need to work on improving my pilates technique. This DVD is excellent as it’s so easy to follow and has plenty of variation to keep me working out for months to come! It’s amazing how these Pilates techniques, that make me feel so good by stretching my whole body, can really create a great cardio burn too.
I’ve been a fan of Brooke’s for years — I’ve done numerous Pilates dvds and have only been able to do Pilates with Brooke, thus far, with her books, flash cards, and CDs (in the Pilates Body Kit). I’ve loved her from the start and have been hoping for a dvd.
I did this one today and just loved it! Don’t worry that it says it’s for beginners if you’ve been doing Pilates for years. This is a solid Intermediate Pilates workout. It’s approachable for Beginners, but isn’t broken down slowly for explanations like most Beginner Pilates dvds. It flows wonderfully, is full of challenging exercises, and is a pleasure to do with Brooke. Just wonderful!

Great workout
I really liked this video. Since I am a visual person, I really like that the scenery is beautiful. I am familiar with pilates, but haven’t practiced it for a while.
This Pilates DVD is great! I am a beginner at Pilates and found this DVD easy to follow, yet challenging enough to get a great work out. The instructions were clear and every new move started slow and gradually got quicker. The diversity of stretches and head to toe movements kept me interested and concentrated. I felt a great stretching and lengthening as well as cardio work out throughout. I would definitely recommend this DVD.

Ok Pilates Workout
I’ve done Pilates with Ellen Barret and find it to be more challenging than this DVD. I prefer Fat Burning Fusion or Burn and Firm Pilates.

Brooke Siler is fabulous!
I have been limiting my workout regimen to just running on the treadmill and maybe doing a few crunches with my excercise ball.

Perfect for beginners in Pilates.
I go to the gym often. I jog, run, do elliptical machine, stairs, weights, but this beginner’s DVD is enough to make me burn and pant, I had never done pilates before.
