Stott Conditioning: Intermediate Matwork

Moira Stott Merrithew
Year Released: 1999

Categories: Pilates/Core Strength


Instructor Comments:
I think Moira Stott really knows her stuff, but she is far from being "Ms. Charisma." A few smiles would go a long way in making her seem more friendly.

This is a fairly tough Pilates workout which includes some exercises I haven't seen in the Method tapes. However, it's very boring. Someone on the forum used the word "clinical" and that describes it perfectly. Moira Stott lectures while another woman demonstrates the moves. The exercises are very good, and I definitely feel afterward that I've worked my "core" pretty good. But I have trouble making myself finish the workout because there's just no fun factor. Moira never smiles or offers any sort of encouragement or motivating words. She does a good job explaining what you're supposed to be doing, but just doesn't put the fun into it. I will continue to do Pilates work, but will use The Method tapes or Breakthru Training. Grade C.
