I am kind of surprised that I liked this workout. I am an
intermediate exerciser and a Pilates drop-out. (I
consider Pilates the exercise equivalent of watching paint

Yet this was interesting and even enjoyable. I found the
12 minute instruction section in the beginning very
informative. All about posture, breathing, keeping the
hips and shoulders squared, belly button to the spine and
buns tight.
Then the workout is a nice balance of mostly slow moving
strength and stretching moves. I used my mini-bar and it
was just right. I could not do all the roll-ups, but was
able to do most of the other moves. Not many
modifications are given, but there are many form
pointers. This would be good on a hot day when you don't
want to do something very strenuous, but still want a

Instructor Comments:
Clare is much more engaging and warm in this video than
in "Innovate Stretch". She obviously loves this kind of
movement and teaches it well.
