Pilates?

So I've been doing a pilates DVD (can't afford classes)-the Mari Winsor classic mat exercise. For sure something is working because my body is like jello afterward, but here's my question...
I'm not looking to lose a whole lot-just to tone up. I'm a healthy weight but I want more definition and to look leaner.
Has anyone had great success with pilates? I enjoy it because I'll be honest, weights bore me to tears.
Is there anything I can add to pilates to make it more effective/work faster?
Anyone else do pilates and enjoy it like I do? Thanks!

I've been doing Cassey Ho's pilates (free via YouTube) for about 10 months. I do other exercises, but I love her pilates routines & have found them to be very effective, especially for the core. I couldn't believe the results I saw after my first month! I am very pleased with my results0

I love Pilates! I have Mari Windsorw DVDs and they're the best Pilates workout for sure. I also like POPPilates on YouTube. She has lots and lots of videos. I also use 10 minute solutions slim and sculpt and it's another good one. I've gotten really good results with that DVD as it works the arms and legs. My arms got more toned using the resistance band than when I was lifting weights. M core got SO much stronger and I became more flexible. Pilates is an intense workout but it will take time to see results. Try to do at least 30 minutes of Pilates a day everyday. Miley Cyrus trains with Mari Windsor. You might not like her but you've got to admit she's got an awesome midsection.0
