Customer Reviews

Excellent Full Body Workout In 45 Minutes!
I LOVE this CD! I alternate this every other day with one of Denise Austin's other Pilates CD's (Mat Workout), also highly recommended. I especially like Denise's instruction...she's very much in tune with her body and health and it shows! I've read some mixed reviews about her personality, so I'd really like to add that I find her enthusiasm very genuine and inspiring! It's also encouraging that she's close to my own age (45) and is so physically fit. I think this is a super Pilates CD...I can feel results after only 3 sessions, and am much more aware of my posture during the day.

Great for adding new challenge to your pilates routine
After doing yoga for a year and pilates for the last 5 months I have tried many new programs to compliment my routine and Denise's Pilates For Everybody was a good next step for me!! My core workout for 5 months has been Susan Deason's Pilates For Weightloss - A program I highly recommend for beginners! I lost 2 sizes using this program with a lo-carb diet, and the occasional addition of upperbody and cardio work.

Pilates For Everybody has an energizing warmup, and brings new challenge to familiar pilates movements using the resistence band. I was not aware when ordering I needed the band !! I'm not used to seeing Denise on a studio set, I wished this was filmed in a beautiful location. This program will have some very difficult movements for a beginner and not a lot of instruction for doing a less advanced version. The leg-work movements I've been doing on a mat, Denise does standing with a chair, which causes me a little more back strain. The final cool-down is more energizing than relaxing so overall this program is in my rotation for those high-energy days when I need more challenge.

tough for a beginner
I started pilates this year and I love it. I bought Denise Austin's mat based pilates and loved it. When I saw her new video Pilates for every body, I immedietly bought it. It is a great 45 min routine. The only downside is she goes rather fast and does not give much instruction. Luckly, I had started with her mat routine video and I knew how to do the stretches. I love the new video, but would suggest starting out with the 20 min. Denise Austin mat based pilates first.
