Winsor Pilates is now a well known brand, because of the infomercials and the availability of their products, so you can do Pilates at home.This DVD includes an instructional video, where Mari Winsor shows the moves herself and explains the basic ideas behind Pilates, and a 20-minute workout, where she leads a class composed of some of her instructors.
The instructional video is well made, with the exercises well performed and well explained. The 20-minute workout is so-so. It's a good workout, and can give good results, but I don't think it's well designed.
Some of the exercises included are normally considered Advanced exercises and not recommended for beginners by Pilates instructors. The reason is that without the proper core strength and experience that comes from practicing Pilates for a while, a beginner can easily get injured by performing the exercise wrong and/or with the wrong positioning.
The exercises are effective when properly performed, but for some it may be a shot in the dark. To avoid that, I would recommend taking lessons with a Pilates instructor or practicing first with one of the many good instructional Pilates books - Brooke Siler's is excellent, and Jillian Hessel's is good too.
