Is there truly a shortcut to fitness? According to Gaiam, the Pilates total toning kit is as close as it gets. The Pilates total toning kit combines Pilates movements with resistance training to create the most dynamic total body fat burning and toning program ever. The kit comes with a pair of 2-pound, ergonomically designed sculpting hand weights and a workout DVD hosted by professional Pilates instructor Ana Caban.

The Pilates total toning kit will have you lean and tight in 15 minutes per day.

The DVD's three 15-minute workouts--which focus on the upper body, lower body, and core--will improve your core strength, agility, and balance while toning and sculpting your shoulders, arms, and thighs. As a result, busy people can get in shape without having to spend an hour at the gym each day. In addition, the workouts are completely impact-free, making them soft on your joints. Designed for all skill levels and ideal for travelers, the Pilates total toning kit will have you lean and tight in just 15 minutes per day.

The workouts are hosted by award-winning, certified Pilates instructor Ana Caban, a professional dancer who turned to Pilates for empowerment and injury rehabilitation. Ana and her videos have been featured in CBS News, Weight Watchers Magazine, the Los Angeles Daily News, and the Miami Herald.
