Default Beginners Pilates dvd--recomendations?

My stats are in the ticker: but I'd also like my 11 year old son and nine year old daughter to join me. We've never done anything of the sort before. I'm just reading a book about it now.

Our library has the following:

Pilates for Beginners by Jillian Hessel


New Body! Pilates
Beginner Mat workout by Jennifer Kries


Pilates Weight Loss for Beginners by Brooke Siler.


If you're familiar with these can you tell me more about them? I'm wondering which would be best for us?

Thanks.

ps: I remember there once being a link to a site which had a gazillion fitness videos you could preview. Does anyone have a link for that?

I like the 10 Minute Solution: pilates. I'm pretty new to working out and I can do it pretty easily. Its broken up into pilates for arms, buns and thighs, abs, burn (which is like cardio with pilates), and flexibility.

Thank you Katie. I guess the ones my library has aren't that popular--either that, or folks go to pilates classes for their pilates. Oh well.

While I do not know any of the titles you mentioned, when I first started with Pilates I got the "Gaiam Pilates Conditioning for Weight Loss" and I liked it a lot. It has 3 different difficultly levels you can try.
