 Love the workout! October 6, 2009
California Mom (CA, USA)
I initially bought the Crunch - Super SlimDown: Pilates Yoga Blend DVD and this DVD. I tried this DVD first and then the Crunch DVD. After doing this workout, the Crunch DVD seemed very generic and basic so I gave it away. I have stuck with this DVD and love it. I have a great workout everytime I do this. I love the strength training and the associated stretching. My husband has started doing this DVD with me and he enjoys it too! Because I liked this DVD so much, I bought the Exhale: Core Fusion Body Sculpt DVD. We tried it last night and it too was great!! Both DVDs are a great investment and I'd reccommend them to anyone!

I was surprised at how much I've enjoyed this video. I do 1-2 segments weekly tacked onto other exercise, so it's really easy to fit into my routine and I've found these to be quite intense bursts. I'm sure the whole video done at once would feel energizing from head to toe.
I've been doing pilates for 10 years and no longer have time to attend classes. I'm sure the Exhale classes are great in person, but I don't have much time or the $35 per class to go to them! I've done a few barre videos in my day, many are forgettable. I just can't get into Callanetics or Lotte Berk, the videos I've done for them I've dubbed "body-perfecting barre-torture DVDs" full of weird thrusting and repetition. Not so with this DVD!
The instruction is in clear voice over. The instructors, who I found out are married but the chemistry is very low-key, are attractive without being intimidating and they even keep their abs covered so I'm not sad I'll never look like that and can focus on the strengthening benefits I'm getting. Most importantly, they have very grounding voices and guidance.
The segments are divided by what part of the body is being worked. The one focused on pure core was brutal in a good way, and I found the glutes one remarkable as I felt muscles I didn't know I had working. The moves seem to have a deep impact! They balance each section with a walking-in-place warmup and a stretch, and the final stretch is very relaxing.
This is, bottom-line, user-friendly. This relaxed approach is not passive, there's intensity. Overall, it's very balanced.

This program claims to be Pilates, but really isnt. I was hoping to buy a DVD similar to traditional Mat Pilates. Instead this DVD is more a collection of toning exercises. The exercises are good and will most likely tone if done frequently enough, but still NOT Pilates!
 GREAT WORKOUT DVD!!!! August 12, 2009

This is a great workout DVD!!! I have the Body Sculpt workout, and I love, love that one! So I decided to buy this one to give myself a mix up so my body wouldn't get so use to doing the first DVD all the time. It really does target your core. The first time I did it, it was a lot more challenging than the Body Scuplt DVD. It didn't look like it was going to be when you first watch, but it is. By the next morning my abs were really sore--but that is with any new workout, but overtime it becomes easier. So far I lost an average of 3 inches off my hips & thighs, and every where else I lost an average of 1 - 2 inches. I look a lot leaner than I did 2 months ago, this workout is great! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!

I work out for an hour everyday and have done many different videos including pilates and yoga. This is the hardest one I have ever done. A lot of the moves are different from anything I have done before. Elisabeth says at one point "enjoy your new-found thigh and glute muscles." I feel like the moves really did access new muscles in my body. The sets are really long, but they are followed by long stretches. I have to take little breaks sometimes, but am trying to build up my strength and can't wait to be able to do all of the sets entirely.
