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, Narrow screen.

10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates

Very good for toining
I noticed good toning in my abs from doing this workout. However, I wasn't able to do a lot of the moves in Total Body Blast, and my lower back was sore afterwards. I think it might be my form, but I've decided to skip that workout. The other workouts were easier to do and very effective. - posted by Sherry on 6/6/2013
10 minutes Rapid Results Pilates
great pilates workout. You can choose how many you want to do. Lara really addresses all parts of your abdomen. She has a pleasant style, easy to understand, with nice background music. I highly recommend this video. I would give this 5 stars - posted by Jeanette Waite on 1/21/2013
Excellent
This is the first time I've done Lara Hudson's workouts and I love them. I have several of the ten minute solution work outs and like them for time, but some aren't really difficult enough, but these make me feel like I've had a real work out. I've been doing Pilates for more than ten years and Lara had new moves I've never seen before. Excellent! I shall be looking for more from her. - posted by Colette on 11/24/2012
Very Challenging Pilates Workout!
My body felt the burn after each segment I completed. I am not all that flexible. But I did my best with these exercises. Lara Hudson's friendly cueing made these workouts fly by! - posted by Pedro on 7/29/2012
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

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.
sample time graph
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.
