Full Backcover Description
Filmed in lush garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, these programs use the resistance band to increase intensity and emulate movements performed on the Pilates apparatus used in private studio sessions. The 30-minute total body routine can sculpt even the deepest muscles in a short amount of time by emphasizing the quality of repetitions, not the quantity. This fluid routine incorporates all muscle groups to produce a slimmer, stronger and more toned body. The bonus 10-minute ab session provides extra focused work to help achieve a firm, flat midsection. These two programs are specifically designed to deliver accelerated results. Together they will stretch, strengthen and sculpt the whole body while improving balance, posture and flexibility.

Product Description:
Beautiful scenery and detailed cuing in two solid Pilates workouts. Each move uses the band to add resistance or improve positioning (a band is included with the DVD). In some exercises, it even mimics the functions of a studio Pilates machine. The first program begins with balance and core-focused standing routines. Then it's down on the mat for band-intensified versions of familiar lower-body classics like leg circles and double leg pushes. The second workout is pure Pilates corework. Lisa's voiceover cuing is exceptionally clear — she really wants you to feel the muscles being worked and "connect your mind to the movement." Filmed outdoors in a tranquil garden near the ocean. ©2012.
