Posturing

I found a Denise Austin DVD, "Power Zone: Mind, Body, Soul," at Ocean State Job Lot for $2.99. The core, so the speak, of the workout is a standing Pilates sequence, which tones and strengthens the abs and back without creating the neck pain of doing floor abs work. I feel energized, graceful, relaxed, and tall at the end of this 40-minute workout. My posture feels long and effortless. It's nice. The set design is absurd and the music poor, but the exercises are great.
