Winsor Pilates

Pros: Challenging, fun, really tones your body, especially good at working the abs, clear instruction
Cons: Expensive, instruction can seem wordy once you have done the tapes for a while

As a fitness junkie, I’m constantly on the alert for fun and challenging workout videos and products. Pilates caught my attention because it has become the buzz word among the Hollywood elite, and stars like Madonna and Daisy Fuentes swear it has ...

Pros: You will see results if you incorporate these tapes into your daily routine.
Cons: These tapes are NOT for beginners; take a class before ordering them.

I ordered the Winsor Pilates tape set online, which included a 'basics' tape, a 20-minute workout tape, and an hour-long 'accelerated body sculpting' tape. Mari Winsor is a certified Pilates trainer, and claims to have originated a 'dynamic sequencing' ...

Pros: A good decent workout program.
Cons: None!

If you are considering adding something new to your workout routine, why not consider Windsor Pilates. Pilates was a fitness program which was originated during World War I by Joseph Pilates as a rehabilitation tool for veterans. Pilates was ...

Pros: Makes you long, lean and tone. For any size and shape of person.
Cons: Have to keep with it.

I personally bought Winsor Pilates, an exercise program designed to lengthen and tone the body, two months ago. The set consisted of a beginner’s tape, which introduces you into the moves involved, a moderate tape, which is 20 minutes long, and an ...

Pros: Makes you feel great: tall, slim, dancer's body, no bulk
Cons: Probably not worth the money as only one video is really useful

Winsor Pilates is just one member of a ripe new set of exercise infomercials hitting the airways these days. Winsor Pilates' own infomercial could take your breath away. It goes through the many Miss Americas and celebrities that have used Winsor Pilates ...

Pros: Helps strengthen, tone, and add flexibility and can be completed in under 30 mins
Cons: Not really any. I bought mine from ebay so the expense wasn't unreasonable

Now I'm not one to usually put "fun" and "exercise" together. I'm not an exercise enthusiast, but I love staying in shape (figure that one out). During high school and college, I was always active and never had to do an actual exercise routine, but now ...

Pros: Very challenging; makes you sweat; time flies by
Cons: My heartrate didn't get high enough; tough for those out-of-shape; nothing for arms or chest

I saw the infomercial probably 100 times (but, I love to watch infomercials - reason enough not to t ...

Pros: Unique, Rejuvenating Exercise, Great results.
Cons: The more difficult moves are not demonstrated

Now, I'm of the mind that exercise should be as simple as possible, and deliver maximum results with little effort. In other words, I'm lazy. I still would like to think of myself as an exercise enthusiast though (after all, I *do* feel that shiver of...

Pros: You'll burn some fat if you don't get hurt, and its cheap.
Cons: Ridiculous looking movements, Mari is kind of annoying, probably not for beginners.

This is a review of the Winsor Pilates Maximum Burn Basics and Fat Burning DVD. I've been doing all kinds of yoga for 10 years and have achieved what this workout claims it would give you and more, without looking like an idiot dancing around my ...

Pros: Effective toning & fat burning, increases balance and flexibility, great instruction, easy to follow
Cons: Somewhat expensive, too frequent mailings of new tapes with subscription/membership.

So, I'm 25 now, and my body doesn't look as great as it used to. Apparently I've reached that age in life where I will no longer be able to eat as much as I want of whatever I want, without placing it directly on my hips or thighs. After watching the ...

Pros: Solid workout program customer service replaced defective dvd with no problem
Cons: $9.95 gimmick Website does not state clearly what comes with each package

I bought the Winsor Pilates informercial product when it was "$9.95- a 75% discount", rather than spend $39.95 when it first came out. This was a mistake. The reason the set is now $9.95 is not because it's 75% off, but because they've taken out all the ...

Pros: Offers individual workouts for every body type. Great price
Cons: It's extremly hard to do some of the moves

Windsor Pilates is a great way to tone and sculpt your entire body especially your abs which are worked through out the entire workout. When I first popped in these vidoes I said " Yeah right you really expect me to do that" and at first it was difficult ...

Pros: Great and flexible workout routine! Can be done anywhere!
Cons: The included books and pamphlets could have been better.

I'm a 26 year old professional, and I needed an exercise program that would do two things: 1- Fit into my busy schedule 2- Offer a workout that was challenging. I've practiced Yoga before, but don't have time to attend classes. Before buying the ...

Pros: Mauri is sweet, and a good instructor. My fiancee even likes her voice!
Cons: if you arent flexible, it can be somewhat difficult

I just recently purchased 5 DVD's of winsor pilates from Big Lots in the DVD/VHS bin for $2.99 each... i thought... this is a great deal, i cant pass it up. Many years ago i tried pilates from something called GOLIAD or Golier or something. I couldnt ...

Pros: Love it!! Makes me feel like a graceful dancer!!!
Cons: Not sure yet, I love it, always did.

I have done Pilates on and off for the last two years. Over the last three weeks I have decided to make it a major component of my exercise program. I am really tired of the gym, and I cannot run outside because I have too many allergies. So I went back ...
