I am a certified pilates instructor and I have many clients who will love this matwork. It's a gentle but deep workout that exemplifies all that I love about pilates.
The back to basics section is excellent, and the two main workouts are precise, flowing, and beautifully cued.
There is a morning energizing workout, a midday energizer and a short evening relaxation segment. The emphasis is on "zipping and hollowing" the lower abdominals, then adding movements of the limbs to challenge core stability. Several levels of difficulty are demonstrated.
I noticed the instructor includes modifications that will support a larger-sized body without making a big deal out of it. While not a strictly traditional pilates mat workout, the pilates principles are well represented.

I am a plus size woman and I have always wanted to do Pilates, but was unable to because of my size. This DVD has allowed me to finally experience Pilates. I have really enojoyed this workout. And even though you may feel like you are not getting much of a workout, you are definitely working your muscles. I highly recommend this DVD to any plus size woman that wants to experience Pilates, but feels that she is too big to do it.

This DVD was great for me as a busy plus size woman wanting to improve my health, but not the most active person out there to get started. I found the exercises and Lynn's instruction very easy to follow and I have progressed my fitness level and am now adding some cardio to my routine. Great purchase!
