 Very (almost too) challenging! May 1, 2009

Positives first: I very much like the flexible format (select combinations of workouts of ~30 minutes or full 1 hour, warm up and cool down that can be selected separately). I also like the instructor -- as others have said, her enthusiasm comes through strong and clear, and she is encouraging and positive without going "over the edge" to annoying. On the minus side: the pilates elements are tough moves, that are challenging (good) but hard for a beginner. I believe this would benefit greatly from a second on-screen participant who provided some alternatives to the moves that Kristin is using. I frankly just can't keep my butt in the air as long as she can, or my neck and shoulders curled off the floor, without giving out. I've attempted to invent some alternatives of my own while my strength/stamina is building, but it would be great if there were "approved" alternatives demonstrated. I'll keep trying, and I hope I can manage the moves Kristin is doing in some future time!
Great workout April 18, 2009

I really like this work out dvd. I have been doing a beginner dvd from Brooke Siler, which I also really like but this one is a step up in terms of difficulty. There is a really well done menu that allows you to choose from a warm up, a cool down, 2 20 miniute workouts (with or without comments), do the whole thing or each of the 20 min paired with the warm up cool down. There is also a 5 min ab and 5 min cardio, which I haven't looked at yet. I was sore after each of the 20 min w/o, but in a good way. The cooking light offer is a little thin, it's 2 free issues and cancel a subscription if you don't like it, plus a little pamphlet with a half dozen recipes. Overall, I really like this and would recommend it to anyone with at least a advanced beginner fitness level. It could be a little hard if you are starting from couch potato status.
Pilates exercises meant to tone and strengthen the body, along with "cardio blasts" meant to keep one's heart rate up April 14, 2009

The "Weight Loss" series of user-friendly fitness DVDs debuts. "Weight Loss Pilates with Kristin McGee" guides the viewer through Pilates exercises meant to tone and strengthen the body, along with "cardio blasts" meant to keep one's heart rate up. Since successful weight loss also depends on improving the quality of one's diet, this DVDs has bonus advice and recipes from the magazine "Cooking Light". There is also a brief bonus segment focusing on abdominal muscles. An excellent addition to DVD workout libraries.

This is an excellent video. Kristen is fun and energetic. She is a natural. The exercises are challenging but she makes it look so easy. I have seen many videos and this is by far one of the best I have ever seen. She is an excellent teacher and motivator. I really enjoyed this video alot.
