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

1) great workout for a novice   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I've been looking for a no impact workout. This is perfect. It's easy to do & in 3 weeks I noticed a difference. I have arthritis and the opening group of targeted workouts do not aggravate my joints. Big bonus!

2) Crunch - Pick Your Spot Pilates   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a great pilates workout when you don't have a lot of time. Three different trouble spots targeted in three 10 minutes segments. I usually add one of these if not all three when I use another Crunch Pilates/Yoga workout.

3) Crunch - Pick Your Spot Pilates   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a great DVD for pilates beginners. It focuses on abs, thighs, and glutes; ten minutes worth of exercises for each area. Great results when used daily!
