I've been meaning to try pilates, although I may have similar stomach issues. Is the tape itself any good?

Yoga. I've been doing yoga on and off for ages and don't have item one of yoga-specific stuff. A dictionary works pretty well in place of blocks. I have a carpet, so a towel takes the place of a mat just fine. I've drifted away from yoga, but that's due to me being a lazy ho rather than stuff issues. The only item I've thought about getting is a mat (they do have a sticky factor that can be useful). But my local Whole Foods has them for less than most online yoga stores.

Good luck with the workouts!

I folded up a blanket to use for a mat, but it kept slipping. I saw some yoga/pilates stuff at Marshall's so I think I'll try and get a mat there.

As for the dvds...I haven't really watched the yoga one yet. The Pilates dvd has an introduction to the terms and basic movements, a basic instruction, where she shows you excatly how to do things, and then the beginner work outs of various length. The dvd also has intermediate and advanced work outs. I did watch part of the firt beginner work out and the instruction was all voice over with some other chick doing the work out.
