Certified instructor description: Faster-paced and more fluid than most Pilates programs, it features a huge variety of Pilates classics. Each 10-minute section targets a specific area: buns/thighs, arms/shoulders, abs, total-body plus a stretch (you can play any section in any order). Lara Hudson’s one-on-one instruction is friendly and detailed. Despite the brisk pace and low reps, she keeps you focused on correct form with easy-to-understand cuing (e.g. “be sure to stay low”). Her transitions are also super-smooth; you’re always just naturally positioned for the next move. Requires 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells. ©2006. DVD has: Programmable chapters.

10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates

Do the Stretch Segment First
I exercise first thing in the morning, and I do the stretch segment first unless I do a bit of cardio for a warmup. I like to ease into a pilates workout. I was looking for a pilates workout that offered something different, and this fit the bill. I disagree that it should be rated "beginner"; some of the moves are challenging. I recommend this for anyone looking for quick, effective moves. - posted by Lilly on 5/2/2012
should have beginner rating
I do agree with previous reviewers that Lara Hudson has excellent form but this pilates dvd is more of a beginner workout. She only demonstrates a few repetitions of each exercise before moving on to the next move. Unless you are a beginner you will not see any benefit from this dvd. - posted by Trish on 3/11/2011
AWESOME
I've only been doing this tape for a few weeks and I can already tell a difference. With each segment only lasting 10 minutes, I never get bored. Lara is a great instructor and is very detailed about each move. - posted by Katie on 1/27/2011
rapid results pilates
lara is such a great instructor,I alternate this one with her 10 min pilates add ons after cardio or just do on days when short on time.you know you have worked on those muscles,sore but in a good way!so effective,you definetly get the slim & toned body. great compliment to the body. - posted by Brenda on 12/23/2010
Loneoved this
This was my first real attempt at Pilates and I loved it. You feel every muscle in your body and as my daughter so aptly put it, "this workout makes you feel longer." It does seem to make you feel taller and more alert for most of the day. I look forward to doing this workout. I have lost inches, especially in my waist without much effort. I would really recommend this to anyone as a welcome addition to your workout library. - posted by Kim on 3/4/2010
I had forgotten about this one
After buying more workout DVDs, I had forgotten about this one. I carry a lot of stress in my shoulders after being in an accident. This workout has helped with the shoulder and neck pain that I get. I feel I get a good work and after the stretch I am relax. Lara is a pleasant instructor. Her tone and mannerism is not annoying. Her instructions are easy to understand. I am always on the lookout for any new videos that she has made. This is one I do when I don't want to put my shoes on. - posted by Diane on 7/17/2009
will NEVER give this one away!
Absolutely fabulous! Works every muscle. I felt it the next day and the day after. I love the fact that you can work out for 50 minutes (or 10!) and program these dvds. I love the 10 minute solution series. They really work wonders for someone like me who tends to put off exercising. I often find myself completing the whole tape when I had set out to do only 10 minutes! Lara is an exceptional instructor. She has perfect form and cues wonderfully. - posted by Ginger on 6/10/2009
Great new moves
I really like this workout. It had a lot of moves I've never seen before. Lara cues very well, and she's tells you when to breathe, which a lot of pilates instructors forget to do. The day after doing this workout, I had muscle soreness in places I had never been sore before. She hit muscles I didn't know I had. I definitely recommend this workout if you want to try something different. - posted by BETH on 2/19/2009
One of My Favorites...
I always come back to this workout. I love it. The instructor is great, the cues are right on and it is easy to follow the breathing. I consider myself an "intermediate" when it comes to Pilates and this DVD fits the bill...I always break a sweat. I love the way you can customize the workout and it works great when pressed for time. I know it is a winner...my husband loves it too! Highly recommend! - posted by Victoria on 12/31/2008
A pleasant surprise.
Can I be honest? I like this because I didn't expect to like it! Quite frankly, I picked it up rather impulsively, and I rather expected something wussy. But, I was in the mood for something new, and it was there,..so I bought it. I was very pleasantly surprised that it was more challenging than I expected. It's very few reps of each exercise, but she really packs a lot of moves into each ten minutes. I hate when instructors use a lot of your workout time for set ups. She doesn't do that at all. Her cues are great and she moves you right from move to move, so you really get to use your ten minutes. I would be interested in working out with this instructor again. And, I really liked the stretch segment. So nice to have that available for cardio days, like treadmill. - posted by Laura on 9/24/2008

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
