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!!!

I have always built muscle easily and in my quest to get fit I have incorporated many different kinds of exercises. Unfortunately, I have lost some weight, but I have also bulked up in my lower body. I am short too, so any kind of excess (fat or muscle) is very unappealing. Here is where C/F: Thighs and Glutes steps in! There are 5 ten minute segments that include warm up, the exercises them selves, stretches after each move, and then final stretch. I started this video about three weeks ago...whoa! I have never had such thin thighs before! I am finally getting that curve on the inside of the thigh. And to make it all very interesting, I immediately dropped almost a whole inch off my waist. In THREE WEEKS! It may not sound amazing to you all, but for a short person that loses weight slowly, this is almost a miracle. Especially considering that I do not do the whole video each time, maybe two or three segments, three to four times a week added on to end of my usual exercise sessions.
I think it helps that I am already familiar with these type of exercises through past use of Callanetics (the ORIGINAL), The Bar Method, Etc.. If you are not, there may be a learning curve as you figure out how to feel what you muscles are supposed to be doing, as these are very small concentrated movements.

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!

Love love love this Core Fushion line of workout DVDs! The only ones I have done multiple times b/c they are short, to the point, not 30 min. of warm up prior the exercises and I see a difference in less than a week! I'm short and any muscle looks bulky on me under jeans, these exercises really do make the legs look longer and leaner, which at 5'2 I didn't think was possible! My tushie is sure sore today from one of the 10 min workouts I did yesterday; which makes me want to do more! Love fast results! Highly Recommend!

I am a huge fan of Lotte, Bar Method (original ones and the new ones), Pure Barre (original and the 2 new ones) and the original Callanetics. This gem of a DVD is a fantastic workout that draws on all of the techniques that I've seen in the other DVDs I have. I did all of the segments in a row and was really sore the next day! Loved it and the coaching and tips for alignment. I am thrilled to have a DVD that is entirely focused on thighs and glutes because I can now easily incorporate this in my rotations that include cardio and weight/circuit type workouts.

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."

I totally agree with the person that compared this to Callenetics. Love callenetics, love the menu in this video, and the exercises work. I too don't like the setting. Read more

great for legs & rear!!!
Amazing video. Swear I could feel it working. Love using videos when I can't make it to the gym and this one is hard, but in a good way. I had to push myself through.
