Synopsis
A veteran of over two dozen exercise videos, Kathy Smith adds Pilates to her repertoire with this tape. Pilates exercises resemble yoga and dance, emphasizing stretching, precision movements and postures, and focused breathing, often performed with exercise devices. Here, Smith demonstrates selected routines from the system that will tone the stomach muscles. The Pilates method of low-impact mind-body exercises was developed during WWI and refined in the 1920s in New York by German-born physical trainer Joseph H. Pilates (1880-1967). The original Pilates system (pronounced puh-LAH-teez) attracted a number of famous disciples early on, including dance immortals Martha Graham and George Balanchine. However, it wasn't until the 1990s that its popularity increased exponentially. Smith advocates the integration of exercise and overall healthy living habits. ~ Steve Blackburn, All Movie Guide
