Pilates Videos & DVDS for Home Workouts

While it is important to learn the principles and proper technique from a trained Pilates instructor, videos and DVDs are indispensable for continuing your practice at home. As with any fitness or exercise program, a once-a-week class or session with a trainer is not enough to bring you the complete benefits. This often results in loss of motivation as you fail to achieve maximum benefits.

Pilates videos are available for every level of fitness and experience. Be sure to read the video information carefully, ensure it was produced by a certified trainer and that it matches your current fitness level—not your goal level! Work your way up through the levels at the recommended pace and you will see the best results for your body and conditioning.

If you are interested in integrating Pilates-based exercises into your existing fitness program or sports-training, you can use a general Pilates workout video or find one that targets your specific interest.

Pilates videos and DVDs are also a great tool to keep you motivated and working out when you are travelling. Keep your stamina up with a daily 'holiday workout' in your hotel room! Pilates is ideal for business-travellers to help battle jet-lag and the stresses of working on the road.

See the Pilates Styles sections—Winsor, Stott and Zone—for videos using their specific methods. If you're pregnant or have just had a baby, see our Pilates for Pregnancy page for videos and DVDs especially for you.
