No way. I already ordered it, Girlfriend! Now I'm expecting the same results! Hey -- did you see the commercial on TV about the guy dating the lady who told him she loves pilates -- and he replied, "Oh, I LOVE drinking those!"

WOW! What did I start!?!? It was just an innocent question, "what's pilates?" and what a thread we've ended up with! I had NO IDEA there would be so many supporters out there -- only one dissenter (but wouldn't you know, it would be KK!) Hey! Wait a minute -- whaddya mean by that, "I'm starting small" --???

Well, for a crusade to introduce the world... three people in three years is not that impressive.

Sign me up! I'm doing a 6 week ab and butt workout. I just
started my third week (intermediate). It's working out
very well for me and it's just a total of 6 minutes for
the stomach and 10 for the butt and theigh. I'm amazed
at how great its working. It's a Denise Austin tape.
When I'm done with this I'm going
to look into pilates. I've seen the infomercial and
was thinking about it but you have convinced me.

I ordered Winsor basic video, workout video, "Winsor dozen" (??) and "sculpting journal with a $40 bonus of accelerated body sculpting video and the Win-in-10 meal plan" (??)
I have no idea what I ordered.

That's what I use -- it's good stuff! It can be tough -- but she does have modifications too - for those who either aren't strong enough - or have bad backs, necks etc. My advice - start small and work up.

Bevrs I bought this one from the Zellers store. About $9.00. It is CRUNCH Fitness! "Fat Burning PILATES" featuring Ellen Barrett."Standing Pilates-Inspired Moves Combined With Classic Mat Pilates". Ellen Barrett,instructor at Crunch Los Angeles.
This one caught my eye because the package was bright green! and because it says winning combination:calorie-burning cardio along with Pilates-based toning. This combo workout can help you sculpt your bady AND burn fat.
This is my first time trying Pilates. and I really enjoy them. Hope this helps. I haven't tried others so no comparison. Sue

Hi Bevrs,
I haven't had a chance to go thru the rest of the posts here, but I'm sure that people described Pilates to you. It's not aerobic, but more isometric. You are on the floor a lot so you won't have to worry about your knees, etc.
You basically got three videos, one is a basic video which instructs you on what Pilates is and how you do it correctly to get the most benefit out of it. The second is a 20-minute "quickie" workout video. The third is a one-hour workout video. Do either depending on how much time you can devote to a workout. I do Pilates up to five days a week.
The meal plan is basically a throw-away (at least it was for me).
HTH! and good luck. Post back here after you do a coupla workouts. I'm curious as to how you'll like it.
