Reviewing: Gaiam Pilates Beginning Mat Workout
Purchased at: Bed Bath & Beyond     Price: $15.00 USD

I had done 2 pilates classes a week for a semester while in college and really missed the work out so I sought out a DVD to practice too.Ayear after my last class I was so out of shape that I felt like I definitely needed to start from the beginning.I really liked this workout video and I am pretty picky about videos (it seems like I am always looking for a reason not to work out these days).The music was good, not too cheesey or anything like that, but something like you would hear in a real pilates class.The instructor is not annoying with a sing song voice or anything like that.She also breaks down the movements and explains each step.

I eventually got bored with this video but only because I remembered more of the exercises than I had thought.So if you are a complete novice then I highly recommend this video however if you have any experience with pilates then I would see if Gaiam has any other videos.Enjoy!

Thanks for the information, I know nothing about this, so it sounds like it would work for me.

great advice looking into a more advanced video if you have been doing pilates for a while. This sounds great for beginners, but I am going to look for something a little more advanced from Giaim

I really want to enroll in a Pilates class. I'm out of shape at the moment and I want to be back to my slimmer figure.
