LauraBella, Pilates for Pink Core Challenge was pretty good. The only section I didn't care for was the upper body section. She had you do it without weights, and in spite of working hard to provide resistance for the exercises, I didn't feel it all that much. However, I did the UB section a second time after I had finished the dvd, and I used three pound dumbbells. I liked the workout much better this way. The LB section was a good butt burner, and the abs sections had some tough moves, so all in all, I'm glad I bought it.

My favorites are:
Winsor Power Buns & Thighs Workout - the one with the band Anna Caban's Pilates Core Challenge Sarah Picot More than Mat Advanced Workout and Classics Pilates Technique with Peter Fiasca. These are very advanced. Love the Magic Circle Mat and the Classic Mat ones. These have chapters from Beginner to Very Advanced. |

I'm actually absolutely in love with my Winsor Buns and Thighs with band workout. I've had it for barely a week and I've done it FIVE times! I was really delightfully surprised with this one; I don't always click with band work and I didn't adore Mari's original infomercial set. But, now I'm hooked.

Um....
Really, I managed to avoid interest in Mari's stuff for quite some time...and now I'm hooked. I'm doing Power Sculpting with Resistance tonight for the first time--will let you know if I like it as much. I haven't tried the one without the band yet, so I can't offer any comparison. Someone suggested a trade of that one, but it's still pending and unconfirmed. Hopefully, it will happen, and then I can compare. I also have that Mari advanced body sculpting with resistance on it's way (my $4 win, lol) and another one I nabbed on ebay for little-of-nothing. If you DO have to start stalking this one, it should be easier to find than the one without the band. Blessings, Laura |

Ok, Power Sculpting with resistance is NOT a must have. Would be a nice intro to pilates, probably, and I think that's it's purpose anyway. Not even half the lower body moves, and fewer reps. Fewer moves "make sense with the band" than in the lower body one. Way short, but I DID really like the footwork portion with the band. That felt different.
So, yes to stalking the lower body one (I think...can't compare it to the bandless one). No to stalking the shorter full body one. |

How about Element Slim and Tone Pilates? I did not read thru all these thread so I hope I didn't miss anything on this one?? It looks as if it is core work but it looks good. Any comments on this one?? Thanks much, Pam.

I've not tried a lot of pilates workouts but I do believe, as others have said, if the form is done correctly - almost dvd or book of exercises will be effective.
For me, my favourite and most tough dvd is "Romana's Pilates - Ultimate Challenge Mat Workout". Aesthetically, I know there are more attractive and user-friendly workouts on the market, but I like the flow of the exercises and find them very effective. It's a time-efficient routine. |
