STOTT PILATES Extreme Pilates - Strength and Agility on the Mat

I give this dvd 5 Stars. In the last 3 years went through divorce, empty nest, huge life changes and weight gain. Finally now everything good, well, even happier than before and it was time to get my body back in shape. A week after I started working out, injured my achilles tendon and couldn't even walk, but started doing this dvd with modifications and experienced healing and strength faster than expected. I have done other Stott Pilates videos in the past, so I already felt comfortable attempting it, however, I was seriously out of shape and the title has the word 'extreme' in it...gah!But I think anyone can do this, even if it is only a few counts of each exercise. The results come fast! The instructor's way of talking works for me...I highly recommend this to anyone who is getting back into exercise after injury or a long break. It will get your strength and condition back in a safe way.

I exercise at least 5 days a week. I found this to be a good full body challenging workout. The instruction is excellent as there is the lead instructor and two back up instructors who demonstrate the exercises. I would recommend this as an advanced workout.

I thought I was buying a new DVD but it is used.

Good core workout without the jarring.I like this main instructor.He loves what he does and makes the time fly bye as well with his enthusiasm.That female instructor in the background is sure easy on the eyes too.Just saying:)

I really like this workout. It's challenging, but extremely gentle on your joints. I use it after spinning or running so I'm not overworking parts. Personally, I think it's the perfect length and the time goes by pretty quickly.

I was trying to increase the difficulty level of Pilates exercises a bit from Intermediate. This is a nice exercise video, but I think the name is somewhat misleading. I think it is no more challenging than Intermediate level of most Pilates videos I have tried. I did get a chance to discover what a true next level is while trying an Advance level of Classical Pilates Technique video. Wow, that was definitely "extreme" for me.

After working out mostly 4 times a week using primarily barre method (Physique 57, Tracey Mallett, etc.) I found this DVD very easy and not challenging at all. I think it's on the intermediate to beginner level, so the title appears misleading. Jennifer Kries Pilates III is more advanced though I wish it was a little longer. I'm very disappointed in this DVD and cannot seem to find other more challenging Pilates DVDs that don't require any equipment (easier that way when traveling) other than Jennifer Kries.

My mother In law loves this! She and her friends do a pilates class every monday and needed a switch up so I got her this and its one of their new favorites.

Great instructor, perfect workout in between cardio and weights.

Brilliant workout and very challenging.

Overall good workout for strengthening your core (shoulders, abs, back, glutes, hamstrings, etc.). The instructor is competent and he or his team efficiently demonstrate correct form and posture of the exercises. Cuing of breathing and transitions between sets and exercises are excellent. While I'm not sure I would call this workout "extreme" (I consider myself an advanced beginner with decent core strength), I did find it enough of a challenge and will continue to use it as part of my strength-building routine.

This video is perfect! Leaves me sweating the very first time i tried it....Love it!!

Really slow paced and, dare I say it, not quite "extreme".
