Power Zone: Mind Body Soul with Denise Austin

An innovative — and genuinely effective — approach to Pilates: classic “matwork” done in a standing position. This technique not only works your legs, it also guarantees precise control of each muscle (you just can't do a sloppy movement and still maintain your balance). The moves are all traditional Pilates with the usual focus on core strength; only the position has changed from lying to standing. The workout begins with a standing yoga warm-up and ends with a gentle series of active, flowing stretches (specifically designed to elongate your muscles).
Requires a chair for balance; one short segment uses a wall for support.

Treat yourself to an amazing workout that awakens your body from the inside out! 40 minutes is all it takes to connect your Mind, Body and Soul!

MIND: Fitness expert Denise Austin has designed an exciting new blend of yoga, Pilates, and deep, focused breathing that will leave you feeling energized, strong and serene. You’ll begin with yoga poses and instruction on proper breathing techniques to stimulate your mind and banish tension.

BODY: In this segment, Denise guides you through an innovative standing Pilates approach that stabilizes the spine for a stress-free lower back while toning the tummy and firming arms and legs.
