Winsor Pilates DVD Review: Exhale: Core Fusion - Thighs & Glutes (2009) Review

I just did Exhale: Core Fusion Thighs & Glutes, and I CAN FEEL my muscles!

I am a fan of original Callanetics, and was looking for other programs in similar lines but more modern and more strenuous then Callanetics. Core Fusion Thighs & Glutes turned out to be exactly what I was looking for for lower body! (no abs though) I was not fond of the setting with a statue of Buddha in the background, shadows of trees on curtains, and darker color scheme overall. However, I appreciate the fact that I could get to the menu and start exercising without being forced to wait through a lengthy intro. Exercises are well organized into 10 minute segments of 5 segments total with clear instructions. One instructor demonstrates advanced version, while the other demonstrates lighter version of the same exercise. The music selection is fine, and not distracting. Most importantly the exercises are great!!!
