If you enjoyed Ana Caban's exceptional beginning-level video, Pilates: Mat-Based Workout for Beginners, and you've progressed enough to continue on to the next level, Caban is back with an intermediate workout. Assuming you have already mastered the first workout, she makes the exercises more intense, with fewer breaks between exercises, and adds some new ones that will really challenge your "powerhouse" muscles. Fortunately, another exerciser demonstrates modifications for the hardest exercises. Caban is a superb role model and instructor, piling on technique tips so that you don't mistakenly think these exercises are easy by cheating. It's unfortunate, though, that the sound quality isn't up to the instruction quality. Caban sometimes sounds just fine, and a moment later she sounds like she's in an echo chamber. This problem persists through the whole 40-minute video. Still, this is an excellent Pilates program and will become one of your regular workouts. --Joan Price

- Great results
Challenging but very doable. Please make sure you get the first video, and are familiar with it before moving on to this one. Less time between exercise, because of less explination. This I consider a plus, less annoying that way, and makes you want to keep doing it. Great results and more energy after the video.

Rating: - Great Workout!
This video has improved my abdominals so much.

I love this DVD. I'm working out almost everyday with Ana Caban's Pilates DVD (I have all the levels!) and I never get tired of them.
The excercises are really good, you don't get exausted, and it really works.

- Too much instruction
I have used this video for several years now, feeling irritated by the condescension the entire time.While it is a decent Pilates workout, there is way too much instruction and you are assumed to be an idiot.After a while, the student catches on, but Caban does not account for that.Your time will be spent sitting through endless, needless instruction at every single turn.This makes for lots of wasted time.I have found myself shopping for other workouts with reviews that say "little instruction." ...
