For those of you who do Pilates?

Can you reccommend a good DVD and how many times a week do you recommend doing it? Thanks,
Chrissy

I have a DVD called Pilates Sculpt and it is awesome. There is a 20min segment of weights/light cardio and 35 minutes of Pilates. I also like Pick Your Spot Pilates, which is broken up into 4 10min segments (legs, abs, butt, total body). I also have Pilates for Dummies which has a beginner and intermediate workout. I think to see the best results you should do it at least 3-4x a week.

I like the Winsor Pilates series. The instructor is really easy to understand and I find the exercises easy to follow.

i'd echo the 3 times a week for great results!

i have had QuickFix pilates and yoga DVD which i literally wore out. i replaced it with 10 min solutions pilates which has 6 blocks of 10 min sessions and moves a little faster than my quick fix. i'd recommend either

I love my Winsor Pilates 20 min workout. I think you need at least the 3x/week. I usually will try for more as I am able. I figure that 20 minutes can't be over doing it with this type of movement.

Whenever there is a question about recommendations for an exercise video/DVD I refer people to check out the sample clips at www.collagevideo.com because you will get an idea before buying it. You can also rent them out from Netflix.

I personally like Denise Austin's Pilates workouts and Windsor Pilates and doing a workout of at least 3 days per week.

GL!

Do you see good results with the Winsor Pilates? I am thinking about odering it. I know I could handle at least 3 times a week...hopefully more. Did you order it off the TV or somewhere else?

I like the Winsor Pilates series. I got mine off of ebay...has 4 DVDs...one for arms, abs, butt/legs and total body. Each is about 20 minutes. They're great! Started seeing results very quickly.

I am just about to order from the official site..there is a promotion that includes some new "circle" device? I figure I can cancel my subscription in a few months if I do not want more tapes..is this a good idea?

I felt more flexible after doing Pilates for a couple of weeks and I noticed myself sitting up straighter.

I got my pilate DVDs from a friend who didn't want them anymore. I've never been to the Winsor site so I don't know what the deals are like. I believe the DVDs are also sold on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, so you'll probably want to shop around to see who's got the best deal.
