The chaptering on the DVD isn't acceptable. The entire hour is a single chapter. I liked the chaptering on the earlier Winsor videos much better.

The exercises are very challenging and many are new to Mari's series. That's both good and bad. Good because it's a new challenge. It's bad because the queuing is scarce and the camera angle often obscures the moves. You need to watch the video very carefully to figure out what's going on.

Be prepared to be a bit frustrated the first few times through the workout. Also, while you're waiting for the mailman to bring your tape it would be a good idea to do some other Pilates tapes focusing on perfect form. This isn't the video to attempt if you are out of practice.

However the frustration of learning the workout is well worth it - it's amazingly effective. It's similar to the intensity of a live class. If you find most Pilates tapes to easy, then you've been waiting for this one. Even advanced students of Pilates will feel this one working. I think this is a video that I'll be using regularly for a long time.

Instructor Comments:
Typical Mari - if you've liked her in the past, you'll like her in this one.
