I don't find Pilates boring, maybe because they are not that easy for me yet. I have a few DVD's that I rotate. I really like Kathy Smith for abs and lower body. She doesn't move too quickly and gives lots of reminders throughout.

I don't like Denise Autins (sp?) DVD, I can't get over her voice, although I think it would be good for yoga. The exercises are good though and I put her DVD on maybe once every two weeks.

I would buy Windor Pilates if I could find it on DVD. I don't have a VHS machine in my bedroom where I do my workouts.

I've noticed an improvement in my abs since I've been doing them for about 2 months now. Each workout is only about 20 min. long and sometimes I put on two DVD's depending on my mood.

What is the difference between Windsor pilates and the other pilates?

Peace,
Paula

If you don't want the infomerical set, meaning if you can do w/the meal plan, etc, you can buy Windsor Pilates DVDs or VHS individually at www.collagevideo.com. This is a great place to get any workout video/DVD. They have small clips so you can see what you're getting, they have GREAT service and tons of variety. Plus they've rated them, employees try them out before advertising them

I also believe Target sells some of the Windsor DVDs too.

This is also a great place for help and info on video workouts:

Irish - I've only done two different ones, Winsor and the Pilates for Dummies. The difference between those two is that Dummies seems to spend a little more time on when to breathe, and it uses a better way to show the alternative positions, imo. Personally I think the Dummies is better for absolute beginners. I think her basic workout is a tad more comprehensive than Winsor. Conversely, Winsor is a wee bit more demanding, slightly more intense. Personally I use the two together, and I really enjoy alternating them.

Mindi that is a great site. Thank you for posting it. I've bought some DVDs that I do not like so this is a better way to see if it is what I want,

You're welcome Caledon. I love Collage, been ordering from them for a very long time. They have great customer service too! Hope you like whatever you get!

I use Crunch Pick Your Spot Pilates. It's okay, but because each segment is only 10 minutes I feel like I'm not doing enough for my body. I also ordered from collage video. Altough I have found that some of the DVD's they sell u can get cheaper at amazon.com. I usually go to collage to read the reviews and check out the video clips and go to amazon and buy.
