In this follow-up to her enormously successful Mat Workout Based on the Work of J. H. Pilates, Denise Austin melds the principles behind that program with yoga basics to create a head-to-toe shaping, stretching, and toning fitness program for beginners to intermediates. As in the Mat Workout program, Austin promotes the abdominal muscles as "the body's core of strength and energy," with added attention to reshaping body lines and improving flexibility. The video includes two distinct workouts -- Power Yoga and Power Pilates -- each of which runs 20 minutes. In the former, Austin presents a series of traditional yoga postures, emphasizing fluid movements intended to build power and stamina. It's not the most meditative yoga outing you'll find, but most likely nobody expects that from an Austin episode, anyway. The second, more invigorating workout is an ab-blasting, butt-busting routine that serves as a great introduction to Pilates. When used as intended with three-pound weights, Power Pilates should help to sculpt your arms, chest, and shoulders.

Fitness guru Denise Austin presents this pair of yoga-based exercise routines designed to energize and tone. The first 20-minute section uses traditional yoga to boost energy and awareness. The second workout adds light weights into the mix to offer viewers a more endurance-testing session, aimed at increasing strength and trimming inches. The two programs can be performed individually or together. Matthew Tobey
