Advantages: Well explained, modifier included for beginners Disadvantages: Can be difficult when starting out
Pilates is a series of non-impact exercises to develop core strength, flexibility, and balance. However, if done wrong it can be quite ineffective.

I have been using these videos for about 3 weeks now, 5 days a week, doing the 20-Minute Workout on every alternate day 3 days a week, and the Accelerated Body Sculpting on the other 2 days.

When it comes to exercising I am very lazy, and can't really be bothered most of the time. However, this pilates programme is the only thing I have ever stuck to. It's fun as well as easy to stick to. Now, I actually look forward to coming home and doing some exercise!
I have been using these videos for about 3 weeks now, 5 days a week, doing the 20-Minute Workout on every alternate day 3 days a week, and the Accelerated Body Sculpting on the other 2 days. Already I have noticed some troubled areas (namely my thighs, arms, and torso) have already started to tone.

This is definitely ideal for those lacking motivation, and you only really need to do 20 minutes or so 3 times a week to see a difference.
A yoga mat helps a lot, especially if you have tiled or wooden floors, and they're not too expensive either.
