I have been doing Karen Voight videos since January 2005. I have used several other exercise videos and the quality and instruction of her videos are by far the best. I am an RMT and hence have a kinesiology background and the exercises are safe and help shape your body. After trying the video I actually found my abdominal muscles sore which means, the video works! My abdominal and core muscles are quite strong and my body has become far more streamlined. The only thing missing is cardio which helps to burn up added calories - Karen covers this however in her Burn and Firm DVD. I use her dvd's for cross training. Unlike Cathy Smith's videos, Karen's uplifting voice and professional attitude keep you entertained while benefitting by strengthening key muscles; the rectus and transverse abdominus, obliques and pelvic muscles and more... My spouse however prefers her strong and streamlined video which includes weights, yoga and a bit of pilates combined. Her videos have exceeded my expectations.

Hello everyone, I am new to pilates and found this tape very easy to understand and helpful. I watched the tape and found out about the resist a ring. It's not an inexpensive item. But if you have a TJMAXX in your area they sell them for $14.99.
Hope this helps.

I did this dvd last summer for a month and saw some results but I hurt my back severely. I hated pilates and gave up but now I really like Crunch pick your spot pilates and yoga tapes.
Ana Caban and KAren Voight tapes really aggravated my back. Be careful!

I bought this DVD along with the Kathy Smith: Pilates for the Lower Body DVD, and this one is a much better value for the money, giving two 50-minute workouts ... compared to Kathy Smith's one 1/2 hour workout ...Kathy Smith's video does give a better introduction to Pilates and working the "powerhouse" (abs pulled to the navel, pelvic floor pulled up, and gluts held in tight), though Karen's video does a better job of integrating these moves all together, with an emphasis on stretching and toning and an awareness of posture. I recommend renting Kathy's video to get the basics and so you can see how you can get away with not needing the resist-a-ring, and then using Karen's video to tone inner thighs and work the abs. There really isn't much of an upper body workout, though I like the workouts nonetheless. I think an intro to Pilates should be added, and agree that better chaptering to move to some of the sections that you like best could improve navigation. I also found that scanning backwards too quickly got me back to the first DVD menu and not to the start of the workout, which can cost precious minutes in a tight morning routine.

This video is a descent workout if you aren't really wanting pilates. However, I don't feel that it is a total body work out. It is more of a work out for your legs and abs.. It will leave your legs sore, but you need the pilates magic cirle in order to have any benefit from this video.
Also the ab and back set isn't much different from the total body set.
All in all it will give you a work out-just mot much for the upper body and not what I would consider pilates.
