Exhale: Core Fusion Pilates Plus

A solid total-body-toner, co-taught by the founders of New York's famous Exhale Spa (Elisabeth Halfpapp and Fred DeVito). This program features a fusion of Pilates, yoga and athletic-style stretches (with a strong emphasis on body control and mindful movement).

You get five 10-minute segments; each works a different body part with different exercises. But it's the overall “feel” that makes these Exhale programs unique — calm, low-key instruction combined with an intimate, spa-like setting (plus a personal-trainer-style focus on breath and alignment). It has lots of between-move stretches and some unique “stillness” exercises (e.g. just holding your legs up during a core routine is tough). Includes level options.

Named ‘Best Fusion Class’ by New York magazine, this unique program is one of the quickest, most effective ways to get a thin, sleek physique. In five segments o f10 minutes each, the Pilates-based moves deliver washboard abs, perfectly sculpted arms and shoulders, and a tighter, higher backside – fast.

The secret to Core Fusion Pilates is that it works from the inside out, integrating your core with every move. This deep-toning approach goes far beyond the surface muscles, working hard-to-reach areas that traditional exercises miss. Infused with yoga-inspired postures and core-conditioning exercises, this invigorating workout produces real results and will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.

A quarter of a million people have transformed their bodies at exhale, the exclusive mind/body spa. Now you can get these same results at home.
