Boooooooooring!!!! |

I think the only reason I purchased this product was to support the fight against breast cancer because I couldn't have intended to sweat. The little pink band that comes with it is worthless and kept slipping off my feet to the point of annoyance and the workout lasts maybe ten minutes. I thought this DVD would at least be good for making myself more flexible. Needless to say after the pilates craze, this "workout" fell short. |

Beginner's pilates |

This is a good DVD for beginners only, in my opinion....too easy for someone who's used to pilates. Mari is easy to follow and she reminds you, throughout the workout, about your breathing and form. |

If you're a fan of Mari, this one might be too easy for you. |

While the band does add some additional resistance, a lot of the more challenging poses have been removed. I don't feel like I'm working out quite as hard. I've just started using it, so I'm anxious to see if I get different results. |

its ok |

having never done pilates before i thought i would be pretty sore, but i found the moves too simple , so maybe try one of her other dvd's. not very challenging. |

Very good! |
The Pilates for Pink workout has sections for upper body, lower body, and abs. There are separate workout options available on the DVD menu, or you can do them all together for a 50 minute workout. There is a pink exercise band included with the workout.
Overall, I'm glad I bought it. The exercises combine traditional pilates matwork (hundreds, single leg stretch etc) with exercises that take advantage of the band and are meant to simulate reformer or other machine exercises. I didn't feel over tired afterward, but i did feel like I got good toning in. And even though it's 50 minutes or so and not terribly fast-paced, I didn't feel bored. The arm exercises were fun, but I won't know how effective they are until I've done the workout more. Overall, it's a good recommendation if you are just starting out, or if you have another pilates DVD or two and want some variety, but if you have other stuff from Winsor, I don't know how repetitive this one would be. It reminded me of the 10 minute solution slim and sculpt pilates, which also uses the band. So if you like one, you'll like the other.
They give $1 to Breast Cancer for each purchase, so this would make a thoughtful purchase or gift anyway. If some of the money didn't go to cancer, I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay full price for it. |
