Editorial Review:
If you enjoyed Ana Caban's exceptional beginning-level video, Pilates: Mat-Based Workout for Beginners, and you've progressed enough to continue on to the next level, Caban is back with an intermediate workout. Assuming you have already mastered the first workout, she makes the exercises more intense, with fewer breaks between exercises, and adds some new ones that will really challenge your "powerhouse" muscles. Fortunately, another exerciser demonstrates modifications for the hardest exercises. Caban is a superb role model and instructor, piling on technique tips so that you don't mistakenly think these exercises are easy by cheating. It's unfortunate, though, that the sound quality isn't up to the instruction quality. Caban sometimes sounds just fine, and a moment later she sounds like she's in an echo chamber. This problem persists through the whole 40-minute video. Still, this is an excellent Pilates program and will become one of your regular workouts. --Joan Price
In Intermediate Mat Workout, certified Pilates instructor Ana Caban guides you through more sublte yet challenging movements while continuing to focus on the key principles of this unique conditioning method.

Rating:  - Standard Caban... very good!
If you have done much of Ana Caban's videos, then this DVD will not be a shock to your system. I never did the "Pilates Beginners Workout" (my first Caban video was quick start pilates...), so I'm not sure how well this DVD works as a follow up to that beginner routine. However, as a stand alone workout it is very challenging.
I would compare it in difficulty to her Maintenance Pilates DVD (if you've done that). There are a few different exercises that I haven't seen in other Caban ... Read More
Rating:  - good
classic pilates or not, I found the workout good. not very challenging and a bit short, that's true but then you have the extra bonus. i thought it was nice and smooth and very well explained. actually the movements go from one position to another in such a good order that it kind of comes naturally to follow without too much explanation. That of course, if one is a bit (just a bit :) in shape and has some basic knowledge of pilates.
i didn't find the shooting so disturbing nor the sound quality ... Read More
Rating:  - Not bad
I only started doing yoga and pilates a couple months ago, and I got this video because I felt confident that I was intermediate enough to attempt it. I was nervous before I first did it because it kept warning that it was a lot harder than the beginner version that I hadn't done. After I did it though, it really was not the difficulty I expected. It is slower paced, and doesn't have as many repetitions as I expected. The intermediate work out is only about a half an hour long also and I was expecting ... Read More
Rating: - great follow-up to beginning mat workout
Great follow-up with clear directions and nice pace. Different levels provided. Poses challenging, just wish it was a little bit longer (I am used to doing an hour class).
Rating: - Great intermediate workout and great bonus workout!
I'm a beginner/intermediate in Pilates, and this video has helped me progress tremendously. I'm right on that threshold where the beginner workout was way too easy, but this workout is still a challenge.
In order to follow the quick pace of this workout, you should have a solid base of Pilates knowledge - the names of the positions, how to breathe, etc.
The bonus workout is fabulous as well! I won't lie and say I'm the most athletic person, so this workout gets my heart rate ... Read More
