Cheap Stott Pilates: Essential Matwork (Video) Price

Although this is the most basic workout in the Stott Conditioning series, it's far from easy. Stott core conditioning, which has evolved from the teachings of Joseph H. Pilates, teaches you to use your inner (core) abdominal muscles, not just the visible ones. This is abdominal training at its deepest level. If you've never seen Pilates-based exercise, imagine contracting the abdominals hard, and holding that contraction while slowly moving limbs or balancing or changing your body position--or some combination of all of these. Instructor Moira Stott uses two assistants to demonstrate while she expertly explains the form, technique, and physiology of each move. One assistant demonstrates the basic form of each exercise; another demonstrates a more advanced form. If you've never done Pilates-inspired abdominal training before but you're very strong from other ab work, you may be able to follow the advanced demonstration; otherwise, stick to the basic--it's plenty hard enough! All the exercises work the core muscles of the torso (abdominals and back); some also work the thighs and upper body. You only need a padded surface for most of the exercises, but a Fitness Circle is required for some in this 55-minute video. --Joan Price
