5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for lower body - love it!, July 29, 2009

This review is from: Exhale: Core Fusion - Thighs & Glutes (DVD)

I just did Exhale: Core Fusion Thighs & Glutes, and I CAN FEEL my muscles!

I am a fan of original Callanetics, and was looking for other programs in similar lines but more modern and more strenuous then Callanetics. Core Fusion Thighs & Glutes turned out to be exactly what I was looking for for lower body! (no abs though) I was not fond of the setting with a statue of Buddha in the background, shadows of trees on curtains, and darker color scheme overall. However, I appreciate the fact that I could get to the menu and start exercising without being forced to wait through a lengthy intro. Exercises are well organized into 10 minute segments of 5 segments total with clear instructions. One instructor demonstrates advanced version, while the other demonstrates lighter version of the same exercise. The music selection is fine, and not distracting. Most importantly the exercises are great!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner From Fred and Liz!, August 23, 2009

This review is from: Exhale: Core Fusion - Thighs & Glutes (DVD)

I've been doing the other two Core Fusion DVDs for months and was so happy to receive the new one that I did the whole thing at one time, then added the Round Back/Flat back Abs, the Pure Core and the stretch from Pilates Plus and can I just say that I am sore in places (2 days later) that I have never really met before? This new DVD works all the muscles around the hips and waist as well as thighs, glutes, hamstrings and calves. What I really liked in this DVD is that Fred and Liz talk a little more about what you might be experiencing (shaking, burning, etc) and let a beginner know that this is normal. Liz has such a great body and having her do the work with a bare belly is a great motivator to see how she got that belly. Also, I like that all five segments are active, as I'm happy to do my own cool down or use one of the stretch segments from the other two DVDs. I'm looking forward to doing it again! Having all three Core Fusion DVDs allows me to program my own workouts with the convenient 10 minute (and 5 minute bonus sections, 1 each, on Body Sculpt and Pilates Plus) sections. Over time, I can go further and really experience my growing strength.
If Jillian Michaels is too "boot camp" and jarring for your tastes, try Core Fusion. In my opinion they are safer yet thorough and deep workouts that will get your body where you want it to go.
I can't WAIT until December when I can get the new arms and abs!

5.0 out of 5 stars All new material!, August 13, 2009

This review is from: Exhale: Core Fusion - Thighs & Glutes (DVD)

One reviewer gave this DVD only one star claiming that it was all repeat material which is just not true. The Exhale Core Fusion practice is one style of workout - so all are similar in that it is the same discipline. Just like all Kundalini yoga practices are similar in style or all Pilates programs are similar in style. However, this DVD in particular focuses on the lower body - thighs and glutes. The other two Core Fusion DVDs focus on the whole body. So, if you liked "Body Sculpt" or "Pilates Plus" then you can be sure you'll love "Thighs & Glutes."
