I have had my Pilates machine for several years but did not use it. I need DVD to restart. Whichone to start over using. I'm asking what DVD .

The Intro to AeroPilates DVD from Stamina is good for a refresher. I haven't tried the Level 2 Pure Pilates DVD next but that would be a good next step - will probably buy that one too for when I only want to do straight pilates with no rebounder.

Hi Carol, I left my Aeropilates machine for a awhile and when I returned, I used the Level I integrated cd a couple of time just to remember the moves. Then I returned to Level II, the core workouts are very difficult for me so I never proceeded past Level II. If you are in good shape then you can probably start at Level II, but I wouldn't push it if you haven't exercised in awhile. Good Luck. Maureen

I don't use my pilates machine on a regular basis either. When I do start again I either use the fold out sheet that came with the machine or if I use a dvd it is the level 1. I just don't do it the whole time like the instructor or I'm so sore the next day, the 100 for example I only do half when I first start after not doing it for awhile. Hope that helps. Any is better than none. LOL

It depends on how in shape you are. If you have been doing some kind of exercise then probably level 2 is ok. If not, I would start with level 1 and build your way back up. It would be better to start slow than to overdo it and hurt yourself. Hope this helps. Sharon

If you haven't been doing any pilates, start with Level 1; when that gets easy, then switch to Level 2. I love Level 2 because it is an all over body workout and targets everything; don't like Level 3, not as extensive as Level 2.

Hi Carole, I also hadn't used my Pilates for several years. I took a chance and ordered the Stamina Level 2 Integrated DVD a few months back along with the Rebounder. (Unfortunately the Rebounder did not fit my Pilates and I had to send it back) I still remembered most of the workouts so the Level II was fine, I just slowed my workout down a bit until I was up to her speed. However, in order to get the full benefit of the workouts you must have the Rebounder...without the Rebounder the DVD doesn't have enough workouts to make it worthwhile. Hope this helps.

That's a good idea! I don't think I asked Amazon for the refund; but I did ask T-Tap and they told me what they were going to do if I askedfor a refund, and they did it! I ended up just giving my CD away to someone who wanted it. I'd suggest that you start with the cheaper one to see how you like it. You can get a good workout in 15 minutes with her; the only problem is, you don't have her there to correct your form if you're not doing it correctly. Form is so important, you know.

Does anyone know how to get your dvd to change to long play so that I can get more recording time I can't get mind to change from sp to anything else. Thanks Darlene

If you turn it off in the middle of a DVD and then turn it back on the screen will ask you if you want to resume from where you left off or start from the beginning. You have a choice. - Mike

It shows a few exercises on the control panel itself, i don't have the answer for your second question, I guess it depends how big you are and what kind of exercises you plan to do. I love that machine and use it almost everyday. Start slow though, and no more then 10 minutes at a time.

I stopped in at Ritz Camera today, I took my Flip to italy and have 45 mins I want to put on a DVD. I have next-to-none "technical" skills about burning my own, and I am okay with paying someone to do it. BUT....Ritz told me that they cannot burn DVD at this time as the software Pure Digital provided them does not work and Pure Digital is working to fix it. Has anyone else run into this????

I Love this machine. Does it work? It depends if you use it consistently. I feel great when I use it. I typically do squats, ab twists and air boxing to get a total body workout. Last week I actually was on with my weights. I do not regret getting this machine but give it your best and I believe it will be good to your body :)

I started as a beginner a month ago and did the quick start dvd until I felt comfortable with the basic moves (about 2-3 times). While I still don't look as coordinated as the instructors and still make mistakes from time to time, I got the basics and I have a great time doing the program. I'd start with the 20 minute dvd or the 30 minute burn after that to help ease you into the program. Good luck!

Depends on what you mean by reset. I have found that if I need to readjust anything, I have to just take out the DVD and start it again as if for the first time. This is my third one in 3 years though. They appear to be designed to be "disposable", in that their reliability is poor over time.

Thank you. I also like pilates and I like Maurie Windsor, Windsor Pilates. I think that this will add to it. Your comment was most helpfu. :-)

Patricia, Sad to day we did not use this at all. The seniors in our group preferred to do the shallow end exercises. I think that we tried it once and only once. Good luck finding a good program. I had ordered 5 and we only use one of them. Cheryl

My Unit never played DVDs from the beginning. Never played DVDs from the box. I thought it was a region code issue but it is not. Then I though it was an Firmware issue so I upgraded from V26 to V29. Still does not play DVDs. I bought it from Amazon LLC directly. If I would have found out this after I purchased the unit, I would have gave Amazon a piece of my mind. But it's too late now as a couple years has gone by. Please learn from my mistake. I bought a VERY EXPENSIVE CD Player (Philips HTS8100/37).

It will ask you if you want to resume where you left off when you restart the player - at least it did for the Twilight movie we were watching. But note, I did not remove the disc from the player. If it does not, it is due to how the DVD/Blu-Ray was formatted from the factory, not an issue with the player itself.

I bought a floor model & having the same problem. So far no luck locating a DVD. If I get luky and likewise, hopefully we can share the info. Thanks, Debbie

Hi Tiffany, I can't speak to this specific set of DVDs - I'm trying to decide whether to get them myself! But I did lose about 50 pounds using the Firm set from 2002 (Body Sculpt, Cardio Sculpt, Ab Sculpt with the fanny lifter), combined with eating well. I eventually quit using them because they got boring, but although I've been using other DVDs, my weight loss has plateaued, and I miss the muscle toning. So for me, nothing has been quite as effective as the Firm. I'm interested in this set because of the lack of extra equipment (the Fanny Lifter or the Transfirmer would take up lots of space in my small living room).

Yes you can do your own workout DVD'S. I don't use the preset workouts, I have a collection of spinning DVD's, which I really enjoy. The bike does not have a chain, it has two belts, one goes to the fly wheel and one goes to the peddle shaft, as per my husband, he is the mechanic here. No big cleaning or oiling necessary. As per my hubby, everything is made from good medal and it is high quality material. Hope I answer your question.

The DVD that comes with the reformer had 4 workouts: 1. Total Body Workout #1 (43minutes, which is pretty good) 2. Total Body Express (25minutes, and probably my favorite) 3. Core Essentials (20minutes, also pretty good) and Stretch & Renew (22+19minutes, which I never got around to).
