This Pilates workout's subtitle, "Pick Your Spot," sums up its flexibility; the three 10-minute segments each tone the abdomen, rear, and thighs using Pilates-based exercises. Crammed into each segment are up to 10 exercises. "Belly" features the 100, criss-cross, twist, and mermaid; "Butt" includes swimming, double leg kicks, and leg circles; and "Thighs" offers the frog, front kicks, and leg lifts. While each segment is too brief to challenge veteran exercisers, viewers are free to hit the pause button and add reps. Plus, a 10-minute bonus total-body Pilates workout proves more demanding than the individual segments. L.A. Crunch instructor Ellen Barrett does an excellent job of initiating newbies to the regulated breathing and core muscle control needed for the exactness of this exercise system. However, visual clarity is somewhat hampered by a crowded set of eight exercisers when Barrett and one other person demonstrating the modifications would have been enough. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 3 Good Toning Workouts September 5, 2008
MC
I like these 10 min. segments, because you can use them separately or all at once (depending on how you feel). If you don't feel they're challenging enough, use 1 segment more than once. It also includes a COMPLETE 10 min. workout, so if you only want to exercise to 1 or 2 segments the COMPLETE workout will take care of your entire body. Ellen is a good instructor and always reminds you to focus on your core and when to inhale & exhale (which is good because sometimes we tend to hold in our breath)
Energizes and strengthens August 16, 2008

I've practiced with different Pilates DVD's, and I thought this one was really good. I felt the exercises were challenging enough and effective, and I like that you can choose to work on certain target areas as opposed to doing the full 30-minute work-out. The 10-minute bonus segment is also a nice feature. It can be used by itself for a quick overall work-out or can be added on to the full work-out for times you prefer more exercise. Ellen has great energy and her style of instruction is clear, evenly paced, and easy to follow.
Awesome Toning! June 16, 2008

I love this workout! I really feel toned and tightened after the 30 minute session. Ellen works on the abs, butt, and thighs with awesome pilates moves. I found it invigorating as well as relaxing. I highly recommend
this video and any other video that Ellen makes.
 Good for Beginners May 21, 2008

I love Ellen's series of Crunch videos. This is great for beginners. She explains the movements and techniques before each exercise which is nice. But if you're looking to burn more calories, I wouldn't choose this video. This one focuses on strengthening one spot at a time.
Simple yet challenging- Great workout and easy to follow April 24, 2008

I absolutely love this video. Ellen is a great instructor. The workouts are layed out very nicely...so you can choose to work your "buns" "belly" or thighs. The exercises are very good for those who are not in that great of a shape- they are easy to do, yet adequately challenging, and I have noticed results from not even too many workouts. One thing that is so good about this video, is that Ellen instructs you on when to breath- inhale and exhale, which is very very important for performing these exercises correctly. Highly recommend to anyone.
