Just in time for the holiday shopping season, STOTT PILATES has released the final three new titles in its library of award-winning Pilates DVDs. Using props and other fitness accessories, the new programming reflects the versatility of Pilates as a safe and effective exercise method that enables people of all ages and life stages to do more of what they love.
According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, more than 10.7 million people in North America participate in Pilates, a form of non-impact exercise with an emphasis on core strength. Designed to lengthen, strengthen and balance the body, Pilates assists in injury prevention, enhances functional fitness, improves postural problems and supports overall physical and mental well-being.
