Product Description: This is the third in Moira Stott's series of updated Pilates-based, core-conditioning mat work. The first two in the series--Stott Conditioning: Essential Matwork and Stott Conditioning: Intermediate Matwork--were plenty challenging, even for experienced exercisers. No matter how strong you think your abs are, start with those unless you're at the advanced level of Pilates or other specific core-conditioning training. This video starts with reminders about core-conditioning basics. Then it builds on the exercises from the first two videos, flowing from one to another, adding on an additional level of difficulty, and pausing only when Stott introduces an exercise not presented in the earlier videos. Some of the new exercises are downright daunting. For example, in the "Corkscrew," you lie on your back, legs straight up in the air. The legs circle, ending in a reverse curl (legs and hips lifted) that continues until the hips are above the shoulders, legs above the body and parallel to the mat (feet never touch down), then roll down. All of this is done with complete control--no momentum, no jerking. Stott expertly describes each exercise and explains the breathing, alignment, and muscle focus of each move. Miriane Braaf--remarkably strong and graceful, with possibly the strongest, flattest abs in the world--demonstrates. This video runs 58 extremely challenging minutes. --Joan Price
