STOTT PILATES Basic Pilates 2nd Edition(English/French)

I love this DVD, Excellent Instructions with cues relating to the next positions. Although I thought it had a running time of 60 mins. Perhaps an oversight on my part , for the actual workout is 30 mins. Here’s a run down from the Merrithew Website.

Great DVD would recommend for anyone interested in Pilates

This a great DVD that demonstrates and explains some very basic Pilates moves and positions. It's a good starting point to build on.

First, be forewarned - this DVD is meant to be used for instructors undergoing Stott's extensive (and expensive) instructor training program. I bought the DVD as a serious student seeking to improve my practice. If you go into it expecting to learn HOW to make Pilates work safely and effectively for you, you will be pleased. This is a learning tool, not a workout video. I recommend purchasing another Stott video aimed at home use to use as your workout video, as you are mastering the principles in this video. If you are happy paying an instructor to keep an eye on you for the rest of your life, then skip this DVD. I decided to do instructor training partially as a result of this video, and partially because I decided Stott Pilates classes were way too expensive for my frugal self. You could probably be set for the rest of your life after a couple of lessons with a Stott Pilates professional, and then the dedicated study of this DVD as well as its companion manual... Stott Pilates Comprehensive Matwork Manual Maybe check in every couple of months with your original instructor to make sure you are on track.
