Winsor Pilates Basic 3 DVD Workout Set (Basics Step-by-Step / 20 Minute Workout / Accelerated Body Sculpting)

I have been doing these Winsor Pilates Basic Workout Set since 2003 when it first came out, two times a day every other day and one time a day every other day. I simply LOVE it. If you do these pilates you will need nothing more, although, I do ride my stationary bike about twice a week because I have MS and severe fibromyalgia and it helps my legs a lot. When I bought these the first time LOL in 2003 they were VHS LOL and they were very expensive. I mean I paid a couple hundred dollars from an infomercial for the complete set. A couple of years ago we updated all our TV's to samsung smart TV's and I kept having issues with my VHS machine LOL so just recently I decided to buy a DVD player and the first thing I did was come on Amazon and find my favorite pilates. I could not believe the price and ordered them immediately. Now, I am fully enjoying my Winsor Pilates Basic Workout Set in DVD on my smartTV. So cool. The 20 minute workout is simply FABULOUS!!! There are times I do not feel like doing them all or I am to busy gardening, painting, doing DIY that I will only do the 20 minute workout and I have to tell you, it works. I went a couple years of only doing the 20 minute workout and you would have thought I paid some trainer to come in and give me the body I have. You only need this set, that is all!! I have purchased several of winsor pilates sets but only this one works. She should have seriously capitalized on the 20 minute workout because it is her BEST and if you do it, you will see even after two or three days how fabulously your body is looking. I can promise you this. I have turned many chicks onto this work out set and they have all had amazing results. :)) If my review was helpful to you please rate it. Thank you :)

I was introduced to pilates by a roommate who had this Winsor pilates series of dvd's. We started with the beginners video which was the perfect pace and level of difficulty for a beginner. After a month or so we moved on the advanced body slimming, and boy did it changed the look of my tummy! I was also including cardio workouts during the week, and sticking to a gluten and dairy free diet. I know that pilates is the reason my tummy changed, even my belly button looked different because of the muscles being long, lean and tight. It also seemed to help with the natural curve of my waist, tightening up the waist line. If you are working out and not seeing a difference in your tummy, try this series! I bought it for my mom in VHS. The work outs are only 20 minutes each, and everyone has time for a 20 minute workout!

Exactly as described

I had this set years ago on 3 VCR tapes. When I went to look for it again, I realized I no longer had a tape machine, so I had to order it on DVD. I watched the basic step-by-step DVD, then started on the 20 minute workout. It's been a month of daily use, and I still haven't perfected all the moves, or can't do all the reps, but every day I'm getting stronger and better at them. I have become more limber and yes, my core has become flatter and stronger. I won't move on to the Accelerated Body Sculpting tape until I've perfected the 20-Minute Workout, but I can tell a difference in how I feel, how my body feels and how my body looks. I've read other reviews that Mari Winsor talks a little too much during the workouts, and I find that's true. I've gotten all the moves down, so while she is talking away, I either do more reps or continue with the other exercises. Either way, I would recommend. It's a good workout.

My family has owned this CD for years, and I finally decided to get my own instead of having to take it from my sister all the time. It's relatively easy, effective, convenient (the 20 minute one is the perfect length for those days when you're in a rush, and the accelerated body sculpting cd makes for a nice longer workout). Don't be put off if you can't complete all the movements at first, or if after your first try you have trouble sitting up the next morning due to aching abs - it's kind of amazing how fast you start improving. And unlike a number of other pilates tapes I've seen, this one has my mom's approval - she is a physical therapist and is very critical of exercise tapes that have the potential to hurt their users as much as help. This one, on the other hand, she uses herself.

I first bought this from the info commercial about 5 years ago. Due to a childhood injury one of my legs didn't grow quite as fast or long as the other. A few years after I reached my adult height my lower back began to hurt and it has hurt almost steadily ever sense. Despite this I was always physically active and well toned but no matter what I did my back still ached and would sometimes 'go out'. This would leave me in a great deal of pain, and my right leg almost useless. When ever this happened I would barely be able to walk for 1-3 weeks at a time. As I got older my back ached worse so in desperation I bought this series of workouts. It works to relieve my lower back pain better then any pill could. After just a few weeks of these exercises my lower back pain was, and still is completely gone most all the time. My situation has reversed- instead of my back not hurting sometimes now it only hurts sometimes. My back has not gone out once in the last 5 years and that is a record for me. About a year ago my tape disappeared. My son, not realizing I used it, had given it to his girlfriend who wanted to start an exercise program. It worked pretty well for her too I guess. After she got in better shape she dumped my son and moved on to what she figured were greener pastures. Karma HAH! Anyway my back never did start hurting badly again so I kinda' forgot about the exercises that had helped me so much. I recently learned that I have high cholesterol so when I bought the disk this time it was for loosing weight. I'm happy to have it back because these exercises make me feel so much better in all ways.

If you want to seriously whip your bod into shape, do not overlook this set. It has everything you need to sculpt your body in a relativley short time. This is a killer workout without killing you. I first had the VHS's of Accelerated and 20 Minute, but they wore out so I hunted for the DVD and was lucky to find them in a box set! When I'm not busy I do the Accerelerated Workout and I'm pretty complete. When I'm short on time I do the 20 Minute (which is actually more than 20, but who's complaining?) and I don't feel as if I didn't get a good one in. I have my sister using the Basic and already she's losing weight after 2 weeks! The only minor drawback is that the arms don't get a good workout. Still, I highly recommend this workout to anyone serious about resculpting their figure without getting all sweaty.

I used to have this on VHS many years ago. I have been doing Pilates off and on for years due to back issues limiting any use of yoga, so I decided to purchase the set to have a readily available Pilates mat workout. I like that Mari's cues are encouraging without that inane "don't stop!" that is usually heard on workout videos. The videos have helped me with flexibility and proper form - which you don't necessarily get with the blogger videos out there. Overall, a good purchase. I'm keeping Mari's healing from ALS in my prayers.

Winsor Pilates was recommended to me by my trainer. I bought this DVD set to start, and I discovered how amazingly effective Pilates is at reshaping the body. It also gives me energy, so I now begin with a quick 20 minutes Pilates workout before starting more strenuous workouts such as weights or spinning. After a few weeks, I became addicted to these workouts and wanted more! There are other DVDs that are specific to body parts that you want to reshape, as well as an advanced DVD.

I ordered this product "in very good condition" and it arrived ahead of schedule! It was "like new" and I only spent $10.00 on it. Very happy with this product!

Awesome service! Awesome product! Great price!

I know the DVD’s by heart. Mari is just such a good instructor and they workouts are very powerful. Whishing Mari all the best.

Exactly what I wanted.
