This tape was a revelation! I have been using videofitness to get my videos for a about a year and have experience with several Firm and Karen Voight videos (I also use cory eversons Arms and Shoulders). My objectives are twofold; to be fit and to look good. Fitness was done, but no matter what I did (including the Firms 5 day abs) I still had a stomach which seemed to stick out on occasion like it had a life of its own. I make no apology here for telling my story because I tell no lies when after just one session with this tape my stomach started to "behave" the way I wanted it to. Really.

You probably need to be quite fit to do this video, and I couldn't recommend it to a rank beginner, but after months of weighted work outs this tape comes as a quiet revelation.

I do hope this video is not overlooked just because it doesn't burn fat. It deserves a place in the favorites if not the Hall of Fame because it delivers like perhaps no other tape I have tried. And that, surely, is the point. Buy it, try it and put your review here. More people should know about this.

Instructor Comments:
Jennifer is businesslike but friendly. I had heard that pilates was difficult to teach other than on a one to one basis, but Jennifer takes you through the form thoroughly and you feel the effects. Jennifer is easy to have around and one senses she has a passion for what she is teaching.
