Summary: Very effective for men of all walks of life
Comment: This is a very nicely organized DVD featuring various effective Pilates routines comprising beginner and intermediate level incl. a nice strong push up series. The full workout takes only 30 min and leaves me sweating and relaxed as a standalone workout or in combination with some running. Alisa Wyatt is an attractive and motivating instructor. I use this DVD 3-4 times a week in conjunction with D. Lyon's wonderful book "Pilates for Men" and alternate with regular practice of Ashtanga Yoga "David Swenson - The Practice Manual".

Summary: FINALLLY A USEABLE OPTION FOR MEN
Comment: I love pilates, but I don't think most programs are very "male-friendly". This has "real" guys, not fitness models doing the exercises and it takes into consideration our tight hamstrings and hips. There's no pressure to look pretty or look like a dancer with this one! I actually think this could be a unisex dvd.

Summary: It made a world of difference - great for men
Comment: This DVD has made a tremendous improvement in my core strength and flexibility, which I notice when doing routine tasks as well as doing my full workout at the gym. I've tried pilates classes, mostly with women, and was discouraged until I got this DVD. Other DVDs that I tried had instructors who assumed that muscle flexiblity in men was a non-issue. Alisa Wyatt is great because the emphasis is on how pilates can address men's issues, such as tight hamstrings. John and Phil are "regular guys", who help reinforce that Pilates isn't just for the super flexible. Also, the DVD is more informal, a thankful change from the "yoga-esque" or "new-age-esque" theme that you see in so many other DVDs or classes.
I use this DVD every other day, on off days when I don't go to the gym. It is a great compliment and supplement to other workouts. I hope that Alisa will make another Pilates for Men DVD for the next skill workout skill level.

Summary: A solid pilates program for men
Comment: After viewing a number of pilates programs for prenatal and postnatal, I finally stumbled across this DVD. The DVD offers a 5 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, and 26 minute workouts. The full 26 minute workout provides about 26 different pilates moves along with a push up series. The instruction is good and more importantly brief. The series does move quickly, but offers a good workout.

Editorial Reviews:

The Pilates for Men DVD is the first Pilates workout dedicated specifically to men. It's the best workout for guys interested in gaining that edge... you know, that extra burst downfield, the quicker bat, the devastating jump shot. Maybe you just want to stand straighter....with better posture? You've come to the right place! The workout's focus is on your core, or your powerhouse, the band of muscles around the center of your body. It will help with alignment, balance and provide a muscle tone that allows you to move effortlessly through your day. A modified version is demonstrated for beginners or guys that need to take it slower. The LA Times says: "Although such athletes such as Jason Kidd have endorsed Pilates - many guys still consider it a workout for women. A new DVD, "Pilates for Men" aims to dispel that myth." King magazine says: "No doubt, Pilates for Men knows the value of working smart not harder. It's Viagra in mat form!
