Answer 2

Answer 3

I've got two which I'd recommend:

Pilates for Dummies is pretty good and does a decent amount of standing and sitting pilates, but the woman who does the workout is a bit chirpy if you're doing it first thing in the morning!

and Pilates the Power Within by Lucy Lloyd-Barker:

however, the second one is on VHS and I don't know if they do it on DVD, but I know she's done some more, so if you can get one of her workouts on DVD I think it'd be worth it as I found her to be very good at explaining exactly what to do and the music and setting for this vid are very relaxing and calm (the first one is more upbeat).  But they're both good workouts.
