I have the windsor pilates DVD and really love them. There are a couple of work outs to choose from..easy and hard (20min and 60min). I really enjoy the workouts and felt really great afterwards, mainly just longer and taller as they are really good stretching exercises. I do however get bored with doing the same vid over and over and hence lose interest. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

I loved them pre-CS and used the Windsor Pilates to tone up before my wedding.
I tried them post-CS and thought I was going to rip in two!  So sold them to Paws  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I loved them pre Andrew but since then I can't get back into them. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| I loved it when I was doing it but found as soon as I stopped the results went away very fast and haven't got back into them since |
