DVD Review: Pilates For Beginners
Pilates is synonymous with a strong core, so if you're looking to tone up your middle, and have never tried this form of fitness before, check out Pilates For Beginners ($15). This hour-long video is broken up into four segments: two 10-minute programs and two 20-minute programs. You can get in a quick workout if you're pressed for time, or complete all four when your schedule is more flexible.
Exercise Video: The Clam Series
Having a shapely tush is always in fashion and that is why the Clam Series of exercises is a perennial favorite. In this efficient, short series you will be working your upper outer thigh and your low glutes - I call this the panty line muscle group.
So lie on your side and get ready for the Clam!
Pilates Stretch: The Mermaid
The Mermaid is one of my favorite of all Pilates stretching series. It really stretches out the upper body in such an elegant fashion and is really great for opening up the chest.
Follow along and mirror the movement (do as I say, not as I do - just like Pilates mat class with the instructor facing the class).

DVD Review: Weight Loss — Pilates
Although I'm not a fan of Acasica's title choice for its DVD series being "Weight Loss," I enjoyed Weight Loss — Cardio Sculpt and Weight Loss — Cardio Kick workouts. The latest in the series, Weight Loss — Pilates ($15), didn't disappoint either.
Unlike most Pilates DVDs, which focus on mat exercises, this workout contains some cardio.
