The exercises are moderately challenging. Some of the ab stuff is killer, some of it easier. The arms stuff is totally easy and has given me better arms than I've had in a long time for minimal work, the legs exercises are fun and this totally works!! Try it!

Just wondering..........I've heard (and I can't even recall where) that Pilates helps more with firming up and not with actual weight loss. I have the Windor Pilates tapes but only used them a few times. I guess I figured it's better to concentrate on losing my excess weight first and then using them to tone. Anybody lost weight while using just the tapes?

I've been doing a couple diff. pilates tapes I picked up. I had never heard of Pilates until a few months ago, and I absolutely love them! they really are challenging. I lost about 15 pounds, and I was really looking for something to tone and tighten. I've never had a flat tummy, even after losing weight it was still kinda..round, lol. But now its soo flat, and doing Pilates only 3 or 4 times a week, for a couple of weeks has toned it soo well. I Love Pilates. But I still have to walk/jog, and everything to keep in shape, and of course eating a healthy diet is alot of it.
