Guide Review - video
The Secret to Flat Abs is a beginning video but the exercises presented are very much the core set of exercises that Pilates work uses to condition the abdominals, back and torso. As with all Stott videos that I have seen, this one is very well produced. The visuals are great, the audio is clear, and the exercises are easy to follow. In this video, Moira Merrithew, the founder of Stott Pilates is the teacher and she does a great job. The student model is also very well trained and demonstrates the exercises cleanly.
