Using the familiar "…for Dummies" iconic format, instructor Michelle Dozois leads viewers through 18 floor exercises based on the popular mind/body routine created by Joseph Pilates over 75 years ago, including the roll up, the hundred, the spine stretch, swimming and various leg pulls. Dozois stresses the importance of your “powerhouse”--the stomach, the neutral pelvis and correctly aligned spine--and offers step-by-step instruction on how to improve posture, increase flexibility, and tone the body. The DVD features an extra intermediate segment that includes work on the buttocks and lower back. Nicely paced, with easy to follow instructions, this is highly recommended. Aud: P. (N. Plympton)
