Kim, do you mean suggest rather than request a pilates workout?
It really depends on your personality & taste in workouts. I have workouts by Jennifer Kries (The Method), Ana Caban, Karen Voight, Suzanne Deason (balance ball), & Moira Stott. Stott workouts are my favorites because her instruction is very detailed which is why she comes across a little dry. Many don't like her.
I've read "Pilates for Dummies" & Denise Austin's tape are good intros to Pilates. Voight is peppy but her workouts are fast paced Pilates/yoga inspired. Kries doesn't seem to provide enough beginner modifications. I've only done Caban's workout once if that tells you anything.
Winsor Pilates is quite popular but I think it's just heavy marketing. It looks like basic mat work to me which might make it a good choice.
Just to give Stott a plug, I've been doing matwork classes for several years. All of my instructors have recommended Stott's tapes & have taken workshops from her. My Stott tapes are as close as I've gotten to a live instructor.
Many people try Pilates & don't like it. I can understand not liking the workout because it's hard work with little action. But if they say it doesn't do anything for them physically, I know it's because the instruction is inadequate. Pilates never gets easy because you can just keep raising the level.
Pilates works on core strength primarily so it's a compliment to weight training not usually a substitute. I prefer to do it on cardio days. If I do Pilates on weight training days, I skip Cathe's ab work & do the Pilates after strength work because it's a muscle lengthening process.
