READ the warning label
This is not a beginners tape-- it doesn't provide enough instruction on breathing and proper form, which is so critical to not only performing the exercises in a safe manner but realizing the benefits of Pilates. The production is totally distracting and the workout itself is short and choppy. TRY THE NEW LIVING ARTS PILATES VIDEO WITH SUZANNE DEASON-- read the reviews-- this is the kind of video you really want-- beautiful scenery, soothing voice and solid instruction. Although it says its for weight loss it's a tougher workout than this one!
