Product Description
From the Director
The three workouts are ideal for consumer and instructor use. All movements are performed with precision and follow a logical choreographed sequence. Instead of having the three workouts on one long videotape, we made it easy to locate the chosen workout by putting each on their own tape deck. It's convenient to pick the workout/level of intensity you want to do on a particular day. One of the best things about Pilates-inspired workouts is that they are highly effective and time-efficient. The cueing is perfect and the instruction will help you focus on body awareness.

Definitely a terrific Mind-Body Workout!, Jun 29 2000
By Marcia M. Wrang - Published on Amazon.com
I have the distinct pleasure of being the first reviewer of this Mind-Body Matwork package. Excellent instruction along with stress-reducing accompaniment. Each of the three videos can be utilized by any age group or fitness level--not necessarily true of other Pilates videos I personally have used. So pleased with the workouts that I have e-mailed the instructor to be advised of any forthcoming videos.

THE PERFECT START-UP PILATES SET, Aug 13 2000
By celeste - Published on Amazon.com
These tapes are getting me in shape! I have heard Pilates is a great workout so I wanted to try it myself. I found #1 to be a super intro for beginners and I have loaned the tape to friends who want a taste of Pilates. I have to stay focused on the movements so I don't get sloppy. When I do the movements as the instructor does, it is more challenging. Pilates is an easy workout if you do the exercise incorrectly or with bad form. The Powermat (#3) is a challenge for me but I am getting there. The music is nice. I like that there is no extra chatter, just instructions that get to the point. The more I use the tapes the more I appreciate that.

Great Video for Home Practice, July 18 2000
By Dagmar Munn - Published on Amazon.com
I have just begun teaching Pilates Matwork classes at our wellness center in Iowa. The Mind-Body Matwork series are great for our students to use as a home practice in-between their weekly classes. The different levels demonstrated on the videos help students progress to more advanced exercises. The demonstrations are clear, easy to follow and the background music and scenery is wonderful!
