Negative Positive
Title: Don't love it or hate it
Review: I've recently started back with Pilates after a 4 year break. Since this had a beginner and intermediate workout, I thought it would be a good reintroduction for me. It's very mediocre. Like most tapes out there, there's too much time taken by the instructor teaching and demonstrating before every exercise in the routine. This is ok if you're a real beginner, but after the first 5-6 times through, or if you have some experience and familiarity, it gets very old. Once you forward through, you've lost the flow (picking up and putting down the remote a zillion times) and only get about 20 minutes of workout.The routines themselves are pretty good for newbies or out of shape people. The intermediate workout could really use more challenging exercises and less instruction between each one. If you're a true beginner and you use this tape at least 3x week, you'll be ready to buy something else in about a month tops. I wanted to give it a true middle rating of 2.5.
