Summary: Good WorkOut for Beginners
Comment: I borrowed this from a library & will be buying it. I just started working out after a long break.The 1st time I didn't even do all the exercises & the next day my stomach & butt muscles felt slightly sore. I did the whole dvd & some of the moves were hard to do all the reps or have the correct form (ie Legs completely straight while laying on my back & having them up in the air), but that's why I'm a beginner. If I do this regularly, I know I'll stretch out & get in better shape. Also, you have the option of turning off the music OR turning off the instructors voice OR hearing both instructor & music. The reason I gave it 4 stars: the camera angles aren't the best -- you can't always see the modified positions (watch the dvd before hand so you have a clue), a little more stretching would help, you can watch some of the exercises at the end of the dvd, but she should recommend watching them before you start.

Summary: Nice change
Comment: I really do enjoy the actual workout performed in this DVD. There were some traditional pilates moves (the hundred, series of five, saw, etc) but she also added variations to other moves. And three levels of intensity are shown which was really nice. One draw back was Kristin's continual "coaching" thru each move which tended to be a bit distracting. Through each move she would say "inhale up, exhale down, inhale up, exhale down" and so on. It would have better if she didn't do that each time and threw some other sayings in there instead of inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, etc.

Summary: Perfect Video
Comment: I hadn't worked out during my 4 years in college. I decided to buy this tape, based on good reviews and couldn't agree more. This video is perfect. You can start at your own level and make it more challenging for yourself as you get stronger. I feel more energized and my muscles feel toned and it definitely has reduced my stress level. Its been hard for me to be interested in working out, because I usually get bored. Not with this video. I do it almost every night before I go to bed. I can't get enough of it. Thank you MTV!

Summary: I LOVE THIS!
Comment: It has a real group of people and different levels all together in one workout. you can follow what one person is doing or another depending on your preference of difficulty
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Good
Comment: MTV Pilates is a great workout tool. As a beginner, I have integrated this video to suppliment my gym visits and diet. It is not difficult to get control of the movements, and there are different levels to watch. It is true that the music isn't the best. However, more times than not, I don't notice the music, because I am focusing on the task at hand.

MTV Pilates packs a lot into 39 minutes, featuring four youthful, fit exercisers in a pretty setting of flowers and Arizona mountains. Although the DVD promotes itself as presenting beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels simultaneously, this workout would be challenging and perhaps frustrating for a true beginner. The exercisers supposedly demonstrate the various levels, but in truth, there isn't much (if any) difference between one level and another most of the time, and sometimes you can't see what the beginning-level person is doing. Instructor Kristin McGee--impressively strong and flexible--explains the moves and how to do them, without much technique talk. The steady beat of the synthesizer music doesn't seem to fit, but at least it's very soft, and you can deselect it through the audio setup. --Joan Price
