Mari Winsor Beginners Pilates

I have done Pilates before and found this a great reminder of the fundamentals. I am out of practice and the exercises are challenging without being boring. If you are new to Pilates I would very much recommend this video. Every movement can be modified so don't let it intimidate you and don't give up if you can't get all the way through the first few times you try. If you stick with it you will see results in improved posture and movement. I have arthritis and when I use this video at least 3 times per week I have much less pain and stiffness.

This introduction to Pilates is perfect for the beginner. I am using this dvd to get my core back. It has taken me a week or two to get the correct muscles moving but it is definitely getting easier every day. These exercises are easy on the joints yet get those muscles burning. Try this out and see what happens:)

Love the beginners pilates but the video was crackly and grainy and audio wasn't too great either. Will probably order the same thing somewhere else.

Mari is the best to follow and learn with! the different levels and options make it easy to use any morning!

I always liked Pilates because it's a good excersice to stretch and to the muscles. They even have modified versions of the excersices for people with sensitive backs and knees. Love it.

I love Mari Winsor. Most workout videos annoy me because the teachers are way too enthusiastic or fake. Mari Winsor isn't like that. She obviously is pretty gung-ho about Pilates, but she doesn't seem phony and she doesn't expect people to be perfect. In fact, for lots of exercises, she'll give a beginner version for people who are just starting out. Plus, the DVDs do work if you keep them up.

This DVD is really boring. I understand proper form, but this does not give you a workout at all. Plus, the second two workouts are the same exact thing. I recommend 10 Minute Solution: Pilates because Lara will explain form during a good workout.

I haven't gotten through it completely, as yet, but so far it has been very good. There's a section that break down the movements for you, so definitely a good start for beginners.

Love this DVD. I use to own Mari Windsor VHS tapes and wanted te renew in DVD because I loved her workouts. I am getting back into shape after gaining some weight, I find this DVD great and bringing me back into shape without being to hard to do. I do feel I have a good workout by doing this program. I do the workout once or twice a week and alternat with my prgram at the gym. Love Mari Windsor, she is my Pilates mentor.

As a gift to my wife, she likes it very much and is obsessed with her weight which helps her lots to shed the pounds.

I'm disappointed that there are no modified versions of the positions considering that this is for beginners.

A little easier than I expected having done lots of Mari Winsor workouts over the years. It is great for beginners though :)

Really like it. I'm a total newbie to Pilates and I love the way Mari teaches. It's very easy to follow and a good workout. I'm really out of shape and have only just got the DVD so I haven't made it to the third workout yet so I can't really comment on it but so far I would say that it's great for someone like me who is new to Pilates and is out of shape but might be too easy for someone who is really fit.
