What we liked most about this set of Pilates DVDs is that they are designed to be used by beginners as well as experts. All of the movements are clearly described by a skilled instructor, and they let you know just what muscle group you are targeting. Users really like the energy of the instructor in all of the videos. Comprised of 10-minute segments that aim to teach you the basics of Pilates and how to follow through with beginner-friendly routines, this DVD is our personal favorite due to its fragmentation and pace. As the sessions in which it is divided are short, you can perform one per day and take a two-day break per week to maximize results when it comes to reshaping your body. This also makes it a cinch to customize the workout sessions by mixing exercises from one segment to another. Moreover, the segments are divided according to the category they fall into, more precisely core, lower body, and upper body basics, followed by total body combo, and stretching.
