SILVER SPRING, MD; September 9, 2008 —Acacia announces the December 2008 DVD releases of Exhale: Core Fusion™ Pilates Plus and Exhale: Core Fusion Body Sculpt, the first DVDs of the highly sought-after and incredibly effective exhale Core Fusion® classes - a transformational fitness experience allowing you to work from the inside out as it consistently delivers results.

This fresh, upscale mind body spa brand is unlike anything else on the market. The premiere line of programming features the popular Core Fusion classes, which have a large celebrity clientele including Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Ashley Olsen, Tea Leoni, David Duchovny, and Kyra Sedgwick. Named “Best Fusion Class” by New York magazine, this unique approach is one of the best ways to get a long, thin, sleek physique. The proprietary blend of core-related movements and strength-training works areas that traditional exercises miss, delivering washboard abs, perfectly sculpted arms and shoulders, and a tighter, higher backside.

Exhale: Core Fusion Pilates Plus
In five segments of 10 minutes each, the Pilates-based moves deliver results fast. The deep-toning approach goes far beyond the surface muscles, working hard-to-reach areas that traditional exercises can’t reach. Infused with yoga-inspired postures and core-conditioning exercises, this invigorating workout produces real results and will leave viewers feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Exhale: Core Fusion Body Sculpt
With these five focused workouts of just 10 minutes each, this total-body program employs exercises that tone and sculpt viewers’ deepest, hard-to-reach muscles so it’s more efficient and effective than traditional strength training. Viewers use their own body weight as resistance and small hand weights to really challenge and build their muscles.

Core Fusion creators Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp have over 50 years’ combined experience teaching the Lotte Berk Method, Pilates, yoga, dance, and Tai Chi disciplines that comprise the Pilates Plus and Body Sculpt workouts. They are founding team members of exhale, a leading mind body spa with over 250,000 people participating at locations around the country, including multiple spa locations in New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and L.A.
