Rating: - Good buy
This is a good all-around choice. Brooke is very easy to follow and she regularly reminds you about your posture, engaging specific muscles, breathing, etc. This can be a good work out if you fully engage the required muscles and breathe correctly. Not too difficult at all.
Rating: - Pilates Instructor Who Loves this DVD
I love this DVD! The exercises are perfect for the beginner to intermediate student. The verbal instructions are very well done letting you know what you should be feeling and where. The exercises are clearly shown and easy to follow. I attended a Pilates Body workshop with Brooke Siler in March 2008 and she is just as wonderful to workout with on this DVD as she was in person. And the background scenary is beautiful. Buy it! You'll love it.
Rating:  - Challenging and not too long
My Pilates teacher suggested Brooke Siler's books as a good way to practice at home. I was a little put off by the idea of "cardio" Pilates, but once I did that section I enjoyed it and felt like it was aerobic without sacrificing the idea of concentration and core. Doing both programs (the cardio section and the mat section) gives a good total body workout without wiping you out for the whole day.
Rating: - Great workout
Although this is a beginners pilates workout, when you are done you really feel like you have had a pretty tough workout. I really enjoy this DVD
Rating: - Love it
This is a great instructional DVD. I had taken Pilates for about 5 years with 2 fantastic and experienced instructors (none of those that took a weekend mat certification course and started teaching) and stopped when I had my baby and changed to a lower pay job (Pilates is like a crack habit - expensive and oh so addictive). This really took me back to a challenging mat class. Clear, concise and helpful tips and guides all throughout at a pace that is not too slow nor too fast. Brooke's body was also a very good visual aide - she was able to demonstrate the nuances of tucking your pelvis in, etc. Really liked the cardio section in the beginning which when connected with the mat class really made it a fulfilling workout. Highly recommend. I hope she'll come out with more because hers is the real thing.
