Certified instructor description: Classic Pilates blended with dance, yoga and strength-training to maximize results. Each 10-minute segment uses both standing and matwork to target a specific body area: arms, abs, buns/thighs, total body and a stretch (you can program the DVD to play any segment in any order). Designed for exercisers already familiar with basic Pilates, the workout features a faster-than-usual tempo and a higher-than-usual intensity. Suzanne Bowen’s cuing is also non-beginner-focused; she emphasizes the body-position and movement subtleties often overlooked in an introductory program. Requires 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells. ©2008. DVD has: Programmable chapters, Close captions, Region 1.

10 Minute Solution: Pilates Perfect Body
Exactly what I was looking for
I like to do some kind of strengthening exercises first thing in the morning but have a hard time committing to a long work out - so this is really perfect. Each segment focuses on a different area and you do work out that area in the ten minutes. If I have more time I do several and that works well too. I don't think the exercises are super though - but I'm getting old and don't really want to do super tough work outs anymore! I would grade the workouts as intermediate as opposed to advanced. - posted by Colette on 2/3/2012

Pretty Good!
This dvd keeps surprising me. I have had it a while but anytime I pull it out to try it, I don't regret it. I don't know how but it makes a difference in my body, especially posture. I say I don't know how because it takes a lot in a dvd to challenge me and it doesn't feel like much when I am doing it but the day after I can actually see subtle differences in my body. It's pretty cool. I feel like I can do the whole 50 minutes but at the same time there is room for improvement everytime I try it. It will stay in my stash for a while, I think. - posted by Susanna on 12/21/2011

Challenging and fun!
I'm a fan of Suzanne's after doing other of her 10-Minute Solution videos, and this is my favorite of the bunch. I do Pilates 3-4 times a week, and the routines on this DVD are unlike any I've seen elsewhere. Suzanne's cueing is excellent and the moves innovative. She really challenges you to push a little further and try things that are outside the conventional Pilates "box." Not only is the workout fun, but it feels good, too. It's fun to see how far I've come as well as how I'm continuing to progress. - posted by Marsha on 9/2/2011

I Love It.
This was so enjoyable, cant wait to do it again, going to try ankle weights with section 2. I agree with the other poster that it is Intermediate, but I don't care. The ab section was really great, too. I love Suzanne, I think she just had a baby too! - posted by Robin on 5/27/2011

Great!
I have finished 3 workouts on this dvd. Let me say Suzanne looks wonderful and I want to work harder to hopefully have the body this girl has. The workouts are surprising in how quick you are done and the muscle fatigue you feel. The arm chapter I decided to use a set of 3 lb. dumbbells (she says you can use 2 or 3 lb.) and I could barely hold my arms up to finish it! I was shocked to say the least, but a good shocked if you know what I mean. I am quite happy with this dvd and it will be in my regular rotation. (I am 43 years young and at a intermediate level) - posted by Helena on 3/31/2011

should be rated intermediate
I was really disappointed with this workout, it was too easy for me, I need more reps and less rest in between exercises. I will probably give it to the local library. This was my first try at 10 Minute Solution workouts. Luckily, I decided to try another one, Quick Sculpt Pilates with Ball kit, and that one is much better for me in terms of difficulty. - posted by Desie on 2/10/2011

Fantastic Workout!
This workout definitely firmed up my whole body. - posted by Linda on 11/26/2010

awesome stretch
this is an awesome video, great cuing, solid inter. exercises. the stretch segment is my favourite out of any stretching video I have. - posted by Sara on 11/11/2010

Better Than Winsor Pilates!
One segment, Perfect Silhouette is too slow to do anything worthwhile, but the Pilates buns and Thighs is awesome! I always thought Mari Winsor's bun and thigh exercises were the best I had ever done for slimming, but the segment on this dvd is even better. Suzanne adds some new moves and some new variations. Love it! - posted by Stacey on 7/27/2010

LOVE IT!!!
A very fast and efficient workout. Suzanne Bowen is a very likable and knowledgeable instructor. I had a baby 8 months ago, and this DVD got my body back fast! - posted by Vanessa on 6/11/2010

Comments:

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.

Programmable chapters

At the beginning of your workout, you can select the exact segments you want to play that day. The DVD will then play all those segments in the order you chose.
