Editorial Review:
Hilary Burnett is a Certified Pilates Instructor through The Pilates Center of Boulder, Colorado. She teaches workshops, classes, and trains individuals. A Northwest native, mother of four, and tofu aficionado, Hilary's passion for matwork shines through in this video series.
The matwork taught in this series is portable, elemental, and empowering. Tune your body like a fine instrument, an integrated whole, working from the inside out. What could be more delicious as a way of fitness?
Pilates (puh-lah-teez) is a method of conditioning that leads to uniform development of the whole body. A blissful departure from adrenaline-based fitness, Pilates exercises are powered by breath, flow, and centering. Hilary's teaching emphasizes neutral lengthening of the spine to support the "elegant architecture" of the body.
Pilates Basics is a foundational tool for anyone desiring to master the Pilates method and move toward Pilates Intermediate. It details the ten basic exercises in the method and serves as both an introductory workout and as the perfect daily mat workout. Includes selected modifications.

Rating:  - love burnett workouts
I really like this and other Burnett workouts. They are not easy, but don't wear you out either. I bought all three of her workouts and you can make them as easy or as hard as you want. I love them! I prefer these videos over the windsor pilates tapes. I really like that it is just me and Hilary working out together, I enjoy the personal attention and has great cueing. I recommend this and all Hilary's videos.

"Pilates is about fine tuning your whole body and mind..." ~Hilary Burnett
Hilary Burnett's calm teaching style amidst a room of pillows and candles provides a relaxing escape into Pilates. This is a perfect way to be introduced to Pilates because the exercises also have variations which are very helpful when you are first starting to learn Pilates exercises and especially while doing the pull up. Most instructors don't give the modifications and this will be very helpful.

Rating:  - Perfect for Beginner (and/or) New mom
As a pilates beginner and mother of a 3-month-old, I think Hilary's video is excellent. She includes very effective verbal cues to remind you of what you should be doing (i.e., "zip your legs up in a mermaid suit"). Also, with the 20 minute length, I'm able to complete the workout while my little one watches.
Rating:  - Read before purchasing
Workout background: I am a step-aerobics, elliptical runner, weight-lifting kind of girl, 2-3 days per week, with half-hour walks on off days. I have only attended an hour-long Pilates class twice at my fitness center, after which I felt invigorated and challenged to the core. Thus, I decided Pilates was something I wanted to pursue further.
Being a careful buyer, I spent hours reading the reviews for around 50 Pilates videos before I came to any conclusions about which one to purchase. The ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Instruction, Technique, and Setting
Hilary Burnett's PILATES BASICS is a thoughtful and attractive introduction to Pilates. Her instruction and explanation of proper technique are creative and highly effective. After being disappointed with other Pilates DVDs, Hilary Burnett's series is a welcome change. It is a solid, enjoyable foundation for anyone interested in beginning Pilates-based exercise. The PILATES INTERMEDIATE DVD is also excellent.
