This is a very good exercise DVD. It has three sections. I do one section of it that's half an hour long every other day and I'm still working to getting it right. You need very light weights (3 lbs?) be barefoot and you will be on the floor for part of it so get your mat ready. It's graceful and not flashy but way more precise and difficult than it looks. You can't take your eyes off the screen and it takes a while to get the moves of the legs and arms together, so I've been focusing on the legs (I'm kind of a spaz with dance moves). She targets many body parts at a time and uses sweeping motions. I am dripping sweat by the end and feel sore in lots of places!

Jennifer Kries is definitely the Pilates goddess of the workout world. Not only does she create challenging Pilates workouts, she gives perfect instruction and teaches you to respect your body in a new way. This is her New Method style workout. It is a combination of Pilates, Weight Training, Dance and Yoga.
Workout 1 - Core Conditioning - Classic Pilates routine and Yoga moves. You will recognize all the basic Pilates moves with the roll-ups and modified roll-ups. Jennifer gives a lot of advice on modifying, but I just have to say that I have my own secret ways for getting from the flat-on-back position to the bending over one's legs position. I'm not sure she would approve. While Jennifer shows each position, she gives even more "breathing" instructions. I love "rolling like a ball" and the challenge of making each exercise so precise.
Workout 2 - Metabolic Booster - Light weight training segment to increase cardiovascular strength. I love this almost "dance-style" workout. Jennifer is working out with four workout partners/instructors.
The music is motivational, the colors are inspirational and the setting is so classic. You flow through the stretches like a dancer and then learn to get fancy with the weights. You are moving fairly fast so it is advisable to really learn the moves before increasing your speed. I found that once I was distracted by anything, I had to refocus, rewind and begin again.

This is my favorite tape and I go back to it again and again. The three separate workouts allow you to divvie them up to different days, if desired. Each section is about twenty minutes: pilates mat workout that strengthens the core and targets the abs; an aerobic workout done with light weights for resistance and building muscle; and a relaxation stretch. Jennifer Kries is a terrific instructor. She explains while doing, so your not standing around killing time between exercises, and she talks just enough, not too much, and in a pleasant, non-condescending or patronizing way, and without ridiculous over-enthusiasm. In other words: perfect.
