 Great pilates DVD January 20, 2007

This DVD is very easy to follow along with. You can feel how hard your core is working with the first moves-and you feel it hours later. The whole body is involed in the-not just your core. I purchased this and Pilates for Dummies. I feel like I work much harder and got better results with Leslie Sansone. The Dummies video didn't work the whole body as well as this. I wish Leslie would expand this to a series and make more. I would definetly buy them!
 Good,. Leslie Sansone style. January 12, 2007

This is what you would expect from Leslie Sansone. It is simple without being patronizing. I tend to imagine that she is teaching a bunch of old ladies at a retirement home when she presents stuff, so she is down to earth and simple in her presentation without sounding like an airhead (there is no talk of melting the butter off our bodies). It's excellent for stretching and abs and general core toning. Yes, it could be more challenging but I still get a good workout (and I don't see myself as her target audience. I'm sure the ladies at the retirement home aren't complaining.)
Great :-) August 30, 2006

Leslie has created a very easy and straight forward Pilates series (one floor toning that is over 15 minutes and one 10 minute toning segment). She starts off teaching you the basics (verbally) talking about the techniques and terms about each movement so it's easier to visualise when you're doing them. You then do those movements in the first workout and then in the second workout, it becomes a little more advanced because you use resistance bands and many muscles at a time. I find her to be encouraging and motivating and talks you through each move in a friendly way and I like that. The only thing you need is a resistance band, and you will tone muscles you never knew you had. It's a great workout that I enjoy doing.
Great way to get started or restarted! August 2, 2006

After seeing all the Pilates infomercials on TV I thought I'd give it a try. As I searched Amazon for a place to start I came across Leslie's DVD. I have one of her Walk Away the Pounds workouts and really enjoy it so I thought I'd give this one a try too.
I am thuroughly enjoying it. Leslie takes the time to explain the basic moves and the history behind Pilates in a great intro. After working along with the intro a couple of times I moved on to the Mat Workout. I had abdominal surgery about 4 months earlier and was concerned about the strain on the muscles and "engaging my core" but found that the alternatives allowed me to work through everything with minimal discomfort. Before long I was working right along with her and even trying some of the more challenging versions. I have not yet attempted the Mat Challenge because I do not have resistance bands but plan to purchase them soon.
I would recommend this workout for anyone that is looking to start (or restarting like I was)an exercise regime.
 Good and Bad both... July 10, 2006

She's not as irritating as her walk videos (thank goodness!) but there are still a few issue - at first I thought it was going to be a really good basic video, with her explaining it all, etc..
However - every exercise that she does give an "easier" way to do it, I have no problems doing at the more advanced level... but there are a lot of exercises that she doesn't tell how to modify - like if you literally can not do the roll up, what are you to do? What about the sissors? She doesn't say what to do if you can't come anywhere near your toes! She's not consistant on providing modifications...
