Certified instructor description: A well-cued series of Pilates exercises designed to develop a flexible spine, stabilize the torso and improve balance. The result? You'll run faster with less risk of injury. It's all very runner-focused, from the choice of exercises to the detailed cuing ("this increases range of motion for a longer stride"). Most of the program is classic, core-strength Pilates matwork — moves like "the hundred," "shoulder bridges" and "roll-ups." Laura Tarbell also includes two short standing segments that emphasize body alignment and runners' arm motions. Very detailed instruction with lots of harder/easier optional modifications ("for more of a challenge, try ..."). ©2011. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Pilates for Runners with Laura Tarbell

Pilates for Everyone

I really enjoyed this workout. I thought it was thorough and effective for a Pilates workout. Laura is a pleasant instructor. She does talk the entire time because she is informative. It is true that she lacks mirror-cuing so you have to adjust accordingly. Once you realize that, it can be overlooked. She moves through the reps slowly to focus on form. You do not have to be a runner to do this workout or to get anything out of it. It is good for everyone. Only one section really discusses running techniques. - posted by Karen on 3/16/2013

Loved it.

This was challenging! And although there was a lot of focus on the abs, it really is more of a full body work out. Over all I loved it, and it is one of my favorites. The only thing I really didn't like was a standing exercise towards the middle of the video, sort of like doing lunges in place while swinging your arms as if running. I can't do exercises like that, because I have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Plus it was silly, and doesn't belong in a Pilates workout. I don't mind non-traditional Pilates exercises, as long as I can manage to do them with my POTS, but that wasn't a Pilates exercise at all. - posted by Logan on 3/7/2013

Hold the phone! A pilates video I REALLY like!

In general, I am not a fan of pilates. I like the idea but dislike the DOING of it (I mainly stick with things like Winsor Bun & Thigh). This video has surprised me! There are modifications shown for nearly every move which were really helpful and do-able. I enjoyed the standing portions! There is a balance/leg-lift segment and a running arm/lunge segment. The standing bits added nice variety but didn't feel killer, though the lunge section did get my heart rate up a little. Like most pilates I've tried, there isn't much arm work, however there are several plank segments or moves where you are placing weight on your arms. Also, during the standing balance moves, you hold your arms out to the sides a loooong time (and then you follow that up with push-ups!) Burn! My most UN-loved aspect of pilates is the ab series (I love the side-lying leg work). This video starts with a core prep/abs segment that wasn't overwhelming or overly challenging...plus they showed modifications that I could do (i.e. leaving my head down on a yoga block, keeping my knees bent.) No sore neck for me with this video! The cueing is okay. I don't think Tarbell mirror cues and a couple of times the background exercisers false start a move before it's time (which kind of reiterates for me that the cueing could be better). That is the only reason I removed a star. If not for that little quibble, I'd give it 5 stars. I really enjoyed this one! - posted by Alison on 4/2/2012

Love to Run!

This video is great! However I wish the video would speed up in between reps/moves. Its very slow.... - posted by Krystal on 3/22/2012

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
