I hate to exercise and now that I am pregnant again, I am trying to start with something relatively easy. I bought this tape sometime after my 1st child, and the only reason I stopped is b/c getting in the habit of exercising is hard for me. This is relatively easy and actually quite relaxing. There are 3 levels of bands, which is very nice. I had a little trouble finagling the bands at first, but it gets easy quickly. I could tell right away that if I stick with this, it will strengthen and tone my muscles. And I think as I move to higher levels of resistance, I will see more improvements. As a pregnant woman, I can do almost every exercise. There a couple that are hard to do and some belly ones that I can't do. The video is short, but that is good for someone who hates to exercise. It is not very cardiovascular FYI - at least not with the beginner band.

You get three good-quality bands of varying resistance in this kit, and they definitely add some oomph to your workout, with quicker firming and sculpting benefits, and (for me) less injury than using weights. The video is ok--not great. The arm workout is good, but the legs/hips portion is pathetically short. You might want to also invest in the Stott Pilates Flex-Band Workout video for a more complete workout.

The bodyband provides great resistance for stretching out hamstrings, etc. Absolute beginners should get her video for beginners first (which is also very good).
