Employing the familiar…for Dummies iconic format with “Tips,” “Jargon Alerts,” and “Myth Busters,” this user-friendly high impact program offers step-by-step instruction for improving posture and flexibility, increasing stamina and coordination, and strengthening core muscle groups, while also burning calories. Instructor Tracey Thompson leads viewers through a 20-minute series of standing Pilates, followed by 15 minutes of mat work, which together elevate the heart rate while also toning the body (all based on the popular mind/body routine created by Joseph Pilates some 80 years ago). Proper body alignment and breathing techniques are two key factors in the traditional method, and both are emphasized in this nicely choreographed workout based on one of the most popular exercise regimens practiced today.
