Some recs here:
- Element: Targeted Toning Pilates for Beginners, it has three 20 minutes workouts, having the option to play all three on the menu, and it also has a Pilates for abs 10 minutes bonus. The waistline and lower body segments (and I feel the burn on this one) are my favorites, they are all good though. Chech it here! - Shape Pilates Workout Firm Up From Head To Toe DVD, a very nice 30 minutes workout. Check it here! - Weight Loss Pilates by Kristin McGee, this one is hardcore! I like that you have the option of doing two 30 mins. workout including warm up and stretch or the whole think for around 53 mins. Check it here! - I also like Plyo Pilates by Laura Tarbell, it mixes Plyo cardio with pilates moves using a stability ball, it is around 45 mins. Check it here! HTH ETA: I also like 10 Minute Solution Pilates workouts by Lara Hudson, she is a very pleasant instructor.

My all time favorite go to Pilates workout is Pilates Power Ball Sculpt by Bernadette Giorgi. The workout is an hour long with two shorter premixes that I sometimes add on after running on the treadmill.
http://www.amazon.com/Bernadette-Gio.../dp/B002B41KWU I like Strong Stride too but it doesn't have a Pilates vibe to me. It's more like grueling floor work with lots of reps. It is quite challenging. I haven't done it in ages but from what I remember of it I agree with Sweet as Sugar's assessment of Kristen McGee's Pilates for Weight Loss being hardcore.

I learned Pilates from using Ana Cabán's DVDs. She's an excellent teacher!
My favorite workout is Cardio Pilates. It's a 30 minute mat workout, followed by 20 minutes of simple cardio. Now, I will be the first to admit that the cardio portion is just plain cheesy. I always stop the video there, but the mat workout is wonderful. |

It's kinda gimmicky but Romana's Pilates http://www.amazon.com/Romanas-Pilate...romana+pilates are my go to whenever I need to inject some Pilates in my routine. The workouts are between 20 - 30min and there's other content on the DVDs that, I'm chagrined to admit, I've never watched.
I say gimmicky because the voice over on my favorite one, Weight Management, goes on and on about how it really burns up calories. I've never worn a tracker while using these so I can't speak to how many calories it does or doesn't burn. But it's a good workout for when you're short on time and not completely inaccessible to those who are new/newish to Pilates. They got panned in reviews on Amazon but I guess I'm one of the few who don't mind them!
