I simply LOVE it. If you do these pilates you will ...
I have been doing these Winsor Pilates Basic Workout Set since 2003 when it first came out, two times a day every other day and one time a day every other day. I simply LOVE it. If you do these pilates you will need nothing more, although, I do ride my stationary bike about twice a week because I have MS and severe fibromyalgia and it helps my legs a lot.When I bought these the first time LOL in 2003 they were VHS LOL and they were very expensive. I mean I paid a couple hundred dollars from an infomercial for the complete set. A couple of years ago we updated all our TV's to samsung smart TV's and I kept having issues with my VHS machine LOL so just recently I decided to buy a DVD player and the first thing I did was come on Amazon and find my favorite pilates. I could not believe the price and ordered them immediately.Now, I am fully enjoying my Winsor Pilates Basic Workout Set in DVD on my smartTV. So cool. The 20 minute workout is simply FABULOUS!!! There are times I do not feel like doing them all or I am to busy gardening, painting, doing DIY that I will only do the 20 minute workout and I have to tell you, it works. I went a couple years of only doing the 20 minute workout and you would have thought I paid some trainer to come in and give me the body I have. You only need this set, that is all!!I have purchased several of winsor pilates sets but only this one works. She should have seriously capitalized on the 20 minute workout because it is her BEST and if you do it, you will see even after two or three days how fabulously your body is looking. I can promise you this. I have turned many chicks onto this work out set and they have all had amazing results. :))If my review was helpful to you please rate it. Thank you :)

Helps Stop My Lower Back Pain
I first bought this from the info commercial about 5 years ago. Due to a childhood injury one of my legs didn't grow quite as fast or long as the other. A few years after I reached my adult height my lower back began to hurt and it has hurt almost steadily ever sense. Despite this I was always physically active and well toned but no matter what I did my back still ached and would sometimes 'go out'. This would leave me in a great deal of pain, and my right leg almost useless. When ever this happened I would barely be able to walk for 1-3 weeks at a time. As I got older my back ached worse so in desperation I bought this series of workouts. It works to relieve my lower back pain better then any pill could. After just a few weeks of these exercises my lower back pain was, and still is completely gone most all the time. My situation has reversed- instead of my back not hurting sometimes now it only hurts sometimes. My back has not gone out once in the last 5 years and that is a record for me. About a year ago my tape disappeared. My son, not realizing I used it, had given it to his girlfriend who wanted to start an exercise program. It worked pretty well for her too I guess. After she got in better shape she dumped my son and moved on to what she figured were greener pastures. Karma HAH! Anyway my back never did start hurting badly again so I kinda' forgot about the exercises that had helped me so much. I recently learned that I have high cholesterol so when I bought the disk this time it was for loosing weight. I'm happy to have it back because these exercises make me feel so much better in all ways.

Love the workout
I had this set years ago on 3 VCR tapes. When I went to look for it again, I realized I no longer had a tape machine, so I had to order it on DVD. I watched the basic step-by-step DVD, then started on the 20 minute workout. It's been a month of daily use, and I still haven't perfected all the moves, or can't do all the reps, but every day I'm getting stronger and better at them. I have become more limber and yes, my core has become flatter and stronger. I won't move on to the Accelerated Body Sculpting tape until I've perfected the 20-Minute Workout, but I can tell a difference in how I feel, how my body feels and how my body looks.I've read other reviews that Mari Winsor talks a little too much during the workouts, and I find that's true. I've gotten all the moves down, so while she is talking away, I either do more reps or continue with the other exercises. Either way, I would recommend. It's a good workout.

Mari Winsor was the best! ❤
Mari's pilates routines are my evening workouts and 20 minutes really is enough to feel better, improve posture, strength and flexibility, and see great toning results in one's physique. I alternate the 20 Minute Workout (Mon, Wed, Fri) with her Bun and Thigh Pilates (Tue, Thu). The combination of both programs really deliver, yet they're relaxing to do and no equipment needed either... genius!! Thank you for your wonderful contributions Mari and may you rest in blessed peace. X

WINSOR PILATES: Basic 3 DVD Workout Set -ONE if not THE Best of MARI WINSOR'S Pilates /Fitness Offerings GOOD 4 ALL levels
This is a great Winsor Pilates set to start with , stick with and/or combine with other of her many excellent pilates DVDs.First there are 3 DVDs in the set.DVD 1-- goes over all the basic moves-- so you know what you're doing & that you do the moves correctly. It's detailed w/o being boring & a lot cheaper than a personal trainer.DVD 2- my personal favorite-- it's a 20 minute- total body workout. I've even done this workout in 2 - 10 minute increments when I'm crunched for time. Mari has three models to show 3 levels for each exercise- so you can pick what's best for you. Be challenged without being overwhelmed.DVD 3- Accelerated-- when you're ready to take it up a notch.Great workouts set - for any level. Pilates is aimed to develop long lean muscles.. lots of celebrities do pilates to maintain their good looks.. why not us ? :) Mari Winsor is tops- runs several pilates studios.. been on Oprah.. she's fab. Good production values-- not cheesey-- easy to follow-- thank u Mari Winsor!

great for beginners
Winsor Pilates was recommended to me by my trainer. I bought this DVD set to start, and I discovered how amazingly effective Pilates is at reshaping the body. It also gives me energy, so I now begin with a quick 20 minutes Pilates workout before starting more strenuous workouts such as weights or spinning. After a few weeks, I became addicted to these workouts and wanted more! There are other DVDs that are specific to body parts that you want to reshape, as well as an advanced DVD.
