Certified instructor description: Body-part-focused Pilates that always incorporates a small inflatable ball. The eight-inch “squishy ball” mimics expensive Pilates machines while helping to assure correct technique (e.g. lying leg lifts with the ball between your feet — if your core isn’t engaged, the ball falls out). The ball also helps guide movements and improves body positioning. The video has four workout segments, plus a warm-up and stretch. Each section features distinct exercises that target a specific muscle group: abs, obliques/buns, legs/thighs and a final total-body series. Tracey’s cuing is very detailed; she explains every exercise in clear, easy-to-understand terms. Requires a small, inflatable ball. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Tracey Mallett's Pilates Super Sculpt

Enjoyed Workout
I liked this workout especially using the ball and found its use really helped to isolate and focus on the various muscle in unique ways, i.e., lower abs. As some other reviewers noted, it mainly focused on the abs overall, but I didn't really mind. Others noted the lack of reps, but I just rewound the DVD and replayed for more reps. I really like Tracey's style and feel her exercises in the muscles she's targeting. - posted by Sara on 10/30/2011
Perfect Pilates Workout
I've been doing Pilates for a long time and I found this class a great workout with perfect cueing. The video has been split into different body parts so that you can choose not to do all of the workout if you choose not to. The ball is a great addition to work the muscles correctly! - posted by Perfect Pilates Video on 10/26/2011
New to Tracey
I really enjoyed this DVD. Great ab workout that goes on and on but doesn't feel like it. She is delightful and the workout is for a light day but a serious ab day. I recommend this one for sure - and I have about 150 workout dvd's! - posted by myfirstname on 7/20/2011
Great video!
I am a Pilates instructor and I have used a ball in my past workouts. This video was refreshing and challenging with the variety of exercises it offered. My class enjoyed them and found them effective. Tracey Mallett is a great instructor too. I highly recommend this video. - posted by Candy on 7/14/2011
Terrific for Core
I am in good shape except that I have always had problems with my lower abs. Nothing has ever made a real difference, until now. This Pilates DVD is deceptively simple... but rigorous. Everything you do really targets the core. I would have liked to have seen more adaptations for people with low back or neck issues, but otherwise an excellent workout. Not for beginners. - posted by Cecilia on 6/17/2011
Enjoyed
I am not a huge fan of Pilates so rarely find a "keeper". But this one really resonated with me and will be a part of my regular rotation -- recommend! - posted by AB44 on 5/7/2011
Nice pilates workout
I'm suprized to see this rated as int/adv. I almost got rid of it because it seemed too easy. Fortunately I gave it another chance, because it really is a nice light day workout. I LOVE Tracey Mallett. The chaptering on this is nice also. I dislike having to fiddle around with the ball because in certain exercises my ball does not want to stay put, instead preferring to slip around! I have heard having it more deflated is a remedy for that. I will have to try it. Tracey looks gorgeous as usual; very motivating. I would have liked more reps of each exercise. That would have upped the challenge. - posted by Melissa on 5/4/2011
good workout
I just received this workout a week ago and have done it several times already and I really like it. I am used to doing harder workouts and I find this is a nice change for those days when I just need to stretch and be more quiet. I do feel it in my inner things and my abs the next day so I know it is working. Would recommend. - posted by Vicki on 4/28/2011
great core workout!
I really enjoyed this DVD for my core focused days. It definitely has toned and strengthened my core, so i feel stronger doing everything else during my day! i found the lower body exercises very challenging and i loved the addition of the ball. it made what appeared to be an easy exercise much harder, and i was more than satisfied with the results. - posted by ella on 4/13/2011
disappointing Tracey video
I am a yoga instructor and moderate level exerciser, and workout about 3-4 times per week. I am a huge Tracey Mallett fan and have all her earlier workouts. However, this one was a big disappointment for me. I found the squishy ball very awkward to work with and I was actually afraid I would hurt myself if not using it correctly. Props like this should only be used in a personal training session where the focus is on form and alignment. Also, Tracey moves very fast, so you'd better get it right the first time, or you constantly have to rewind. Also, the editing quality on the DVD was really poor, as was the overall look and feel, compared to earlier DVD's that were bright, colorful and slick. Sorry Tracey.....you are still the BEST!! - posted by Lisa on 4/7/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
