# 2002 VHS • Shiatsu Ball Pilates 60 FPS

Shiatsu Ball Pilates is an exercise ball workout led by personal trainer Denise Druse, with Jules serving as the demonstration partner. The program is built around two foundational principles applied to every exercise: core stabilization and maintenance of the spine's natural curvature. Druse begins by explaining how the exercise ball works the body from the inside out, targeting the abdominals, waist, lower back, hips, glutes, and thighs. She shows viewers how to maintain proper spinal alignment using a rolled towel as a training aid, then demonstrates each exercise individually before leading the full routine. Exercises include ball squats, lower back extensions in a prone position on the ball, alternating arm and leg balance holds, ball crunches at a 45-degree angle, and additional hip and glute work. The program structure presents each movement in isolation first, then repeats the complete sequence as a continuous workout. The closing segment includes a cool-down stretch on the ball and a reminder to rehydrate after the session. Druse recommends performing the routine three times per week.
