I just got my Winsor Pilates DVDs and I'm already hooked. I know I'm gonna be doing these a lot.

I sprung for all 7 *yikes* but my excitement level is high enough to justify it.

They are somewhat of a relaxing workout (it's easier to start the tape knowing you could always just lie there through one of the exercises ) but you can definitely feel it.

I've only tried the 20 minute so far, but the instruction was good (akin to what I've been taught with live pilates instructors) and there's a person doing a modified version throughout, so if you're not flexible enough or have a bad back, etc. you can follow her easier positioning.

I can report back after I've done 'em all! I really believe pilates is a good way to lose inches.

Oh and as a sidenote, the meal plan they include is low carb! It's most like the Zone (well, it's exactly the Zone) but it's nice to see an emphasis on protein and low glycemic carbs.
