Joseph H. Pilates revolutionized the concept of exercise with a holistic system focusing the entire body under the umbrella of Contrology, gently exerting one's will over whole groups of muscles, tapping into energy from the body's center, or core. Pilates's pupils included Martha Graham, Jerome Robbins, and George Balanchine (Pilates had also earlier been heavyweight boxing champion Max Schmelling's trainer). This training film, shot on location in New York City, the birthplace of this extraordinary discipline, features beginner's Pilates routines for people wanting to explore a less invasive method of attaining real fitness. Minnie Driver, Madonna, and Julia Roberts have all endorsed this approach.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: [unspecified] - English
