    I do some easy, beginner Pilates videos. They are great for stretching my back and working the core. I have Caribbean workout dvds with Shelly McDonald and Jen Tilly. They are available on Amazon. I mostly use them on my "off" days or on days that I am tired or sore., as they don't burn a lot of calories.

    I love pilates!

    I have a 10 minute solutions, pilates for beginners with Lara Hudson that is really good. Her other DVD's are extremely challenging but this one, is truly for beginners, and it really works on building core strength and give a modified form for stuff that's really hard to do in her other dvd's.

    I love Pilates. I just started Pilates reformer sessions at a studio about a month ago. It's a workout, but some how relaxing at the same time. It's strange. I've already started seeing improvement in flexibility and strength.

    I haven't done and map or DVD workouts. Can't help there.

    I love pilates. I always feel taller after a pilates session, probably because it does so much to improve my posture.

    I started off years ago with one of Mari Winsor's DVDs and got hooked. Her DVDs are pretty good if you're looking to purchase something. If you want to give pilates a try without having to pay anything, I recommend checking out blogilates.com.

    Pilates is funn ! Ive been developing muscles and though feeling sore after each workout, I always feel good.
