content: I've never done Pilates before, and when I started using this video, I didn't think it was going to do too much. But as I started paying attention to my allignment and muscles and everything, I realized it is actually working my muscles. My only complaint is I wish she would count out the reps (she only counts the first rep)- it's hard to keep an eye on the video and also stay in alignment. Also, I know that using the video can't be quite as good as having an instructor there to check that I'm doing it right, but as I've taken dance lessons for 20 years, I'm pretty in tune to how my body's lined up. The workout is only about 20 minutes, so it's good if I don't have a lot of time to work out. I would like to look at some longer and possibly more intense workout in the future. It's a good introduction, though, and has made me more interested in trying more.
