Winsor Pilates DVD Review: Breakthru: Pilates Plus (2002) Review

I started thinking about buying Pilates/flexibility tapes after getting disgusted with my stiff back (grunting everytime I bend over) and lack of even a trace of an abdominal muscle. But, I was afraid of tedious and repetitive moves, bad music, and tacky hot pink outfits.
BUT, this tape is a gem, it's heavenly.I love the variety,(moving from Pilates to ballet to yoga) I never get bored because it moves to new moves all the time, I like the stretching, and use the ballet portion without the chair to help with my balance. I even feel tighter in the abdominals, and am more aware of my core and posture for the day.
I DON'T think beginners need to shy away from this tape; so long as you listen to the instructor's hints about doing the easier, modified moves. Heck, I'll probably never be able to get through all of the Yoga reverse and tricep push ups--so what? I'm still doing more in proper form than I was 2 months ago. There's no fast paced music or moves that you'll have to keep skipping to keep up! In short, I'd buy a lot more videos if they were all this flowing and innovative.
