The muscle-toning and body-slimming benefits of a Pilates workout combine with the balance, strength, and flexibility benefits of a yoga routine as fitness expert Ellen Barrett guides viewers through an innovative workout that burns calories and gets the body moving. Graceful yoga-inspired movements get the workout off to a stronger, more focused start before a switch to Pilates shifts the emphasis towards firming key muscle groups, improving the posture, and strengthening the core. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
