Certified instructor description: Exceptionally well-instructed, it’s a deep-muscle mix of traditional and intensified Pilates exercises. You’ll start with a classic Pilates routine. Then you’ll amplify its effectiveness by adding quick pulses, isometric holds, tempo changes and larger movements (e.g. a plank with a side-to-side foot tap). Jules’ instruction is friendly and always encouraging. Her use of both hand and verbal cuing makes the workout exceptionally do-able (she also includes lots of fully-demonstrated level and intensity modifications). ©2008.

 People love or hate pilates based on how their neck feels |
| As Jules says partway into the DVD "people either love or hate pilates based on how their neck feels". Pilates is not for me. The DVD is thorough and she is a delightful instructor; I have a step video of hers that I like. I'll send this one back as I'm not inclined to do something that aggravates my neck, which is where I tend to hold my stress anyhow. - posted by Kathleen on 1/5/2012 |

| Great, overall workout |
| I really enjoyed this workout. I like how Jules works on each part of the body before moving on. She's great, and not annoying. - posted by Amy on 11/17/2011 |

| Tough workout |
| I've been doing DVDs and tapes for a while but this one is great. I like the modification that are included. The cuing is very precise and easy to follow. Jules is very enthusiastic. I feel that I am in a small group with a personal trainer. She tells you how to do it and describes it thoroughly. The exercises are great and definitely a good workout. - posted by Judy on 7/30/2011 |

| Best Pilates Video I've seen |
| First off: Jules is a great instructor. She is motivating, easy to listen to without being annoying, and is as easy to follow as you can be (pilates is a little harder to do via video instruction I would say). This is not my first pilates DVD and she is by far much easier to follow -- no new-age feel either. She points out easy modifications but keeps things moving at a good pace. I have not mastered this yet, by far, but hope to with continued work. Doing frequent cardio and weight lifting I was surprised at how challenging this was for me, but therein lies the benefit of cross training, right? This tape is more expensive, but I think it's worth it. I'm glad I tried it and would recommend it to others. - posted by Truth on 7/27/2011 |

| Worthwhile workout |
| As a retired mat pilates instructor, I highly recommend this dvd. Well organized, great pace, and a nice challenge. Jules Benson has a pleasing personality and and her instruction and tone of voice do not become tiresome. I have already recommended this dvd to friends. - posted by sandy on 5/27/2011 |

| Pretty Good |
| I love the instructor. She is friendly and directs the video well. However, I don't think this is very difficult at all, and I don't ever do pilates. The only kinda difficult part was the leg workout. - posted by Jenny on 5/19/2011 |

| Great Pilates Workout!! |
| This is one of my favorite pilates dvds. I also enjoy Mari Winsor, but when I want to do an hour, this is the ticket. I agree with other reviews. The music and cuing are pleasant. I feel like every muscle gets worked, which is exactly what I want. I look forward to purchasing more of her workouts. - posted by Brenda on 5/12/2011 |

| Good Pilates Workout |
| Jules has a very good style. At first I was intimidated by the length of this work out, but the time goes by rather quickly. Jules changes it up so much that you don't get fatigued or bored. - posted by Sheila on 4/28/2011 |

| Great workout |
| This is a challenging pilates workout. Jules is pleasant, and her cuing is good. The floor work with the legs is especially tough. One I will look forward to doing regularly. - posted by Vickie on 4/25/2011 |

| Definitely not for beginners |
| loved this dvd. I am a regular pilates person and spend a lot of time on my core due to back problems. I definitely felt this the next day which was awesome. I found the cueing to be good but a bit fast. She doesn't go into a whole lot of explanation as to the "how's" so for that reason I wouldn't feel it was a good fit for someone unfamiliar with pilates. I also found myself inserting my own modifications to accommodate my back... NEVER lift legs when on back and head is down! For this reason I think a little bit of updating might be in order b/c that seems to be the latest and greatest update or criticism to traditional pilates. Overall, a good workout. - posted by Andrea on 3/31/2011 |
