A straight-forward, very easy-to-follow workout that blends a Pilates element into each exercise. You'll start with easy-to-follow calorie burning and finish with well-sequenced body-sculpting. The aerobics segment features low-impact cardio favorites done “Pilates style” (you'll keep your core engaged throughout every movement). The pace is not-too-fast and the music is a little “mellower” than most aerobics. The toning sections include a blend of classic dumbbell muscle toning and true Pilates matwork. Very supportive, very detailed cuing. Programmable DVD lets you play the segments in any order. ©2007.
