Condition: These are actually new. In fact they are still in their original shrink wrap. I have these listed as used because for some reason, the DVD cases have wrinkles. These are overstock from a retailer so my guess is that they sat in non-climate controlled storage for a bit. The DVD has never been touched or played (since the case has never been opened). The artwork is fine. It's just that the case has wrinkles so I don't feel comfortable selling this to my customers as new. We offer low pricing because Amazon charges you more for shipping than we actually need and we do not want to make money from our customers through inflated shipping charges. In order to offer our customers the best shopping experience possible, we factor in the excess shipping charges to offer you the best price possible. This way, our margins are the same as if you bought our DVDs in our store. We just feel that our approach to pricing is the right thing to do for our customers.

5 out of 5 stars Beginners will love it   November 27, 2008
This is a good DVD for anyone wanting to start Pilates. To really get the benefits from Pilates you have to learn it properly. It's all about how you do each move and doing it right, not about how many reps you can get in. The instruction on this program is perfect for really learning about Pilates and perfecting every move so you can get the most out of it. There are many different routines so you aren't stuck doing the same one or two over and over .


5 out of 5 stars Good for beginners   November 11, 2008
As an absolute beginner to Pilates and exercise I found the Modified Beginner section to be just my speed. I've given up with other videos because the easiest levels were still too hard for me. I'm very glad I got this one. The modified instruction has allowed me to start benefiting from Pilates right away and to work my up to the Beginner section.


5 out of 5 stars Good starting point   October 11, 2008
This is a good program for anyone who is a real Pilates beginner. The instruction is clear and easy to follow, and there are lots of routines on this DVD. There are modified beginner routines and it goes from there all the way to routines that use light hand weights. Pilates is a great exercise. I'm improving my flexibility and getting a sculpting and toning workout all at the same time.


5 out of 5 stars Easy instructions to follow   August 31, 2008
Am enjoying this Pilates for Beginners with Maggie Rhoades very much. The instructions are precise and easy to follow. The ocean in the background makes exercising more pleasant! I am seeing results.


5 out of 5 stars Great DVD   June 22, 2008
Maggie does a wonderful job explaining how to perform the exercises, and the beginning level is just what I needed.

I am working through things and still learning, but took a look at the next level and it looks like it should be fun and a bit more challenging when I get to the point I can use it.

Very satisfied and happy I got this DVD.
