DVD Reviews of Exhale: Core Fusion - Pilates Plus
DVD Review: Great Mind-Body Exercises
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really relaxing exercise dvd and yet it's also a good workout. The pure core section is very challenging. I reserve one day a week for stretching exercises and this is the dvd that I use for that, although it is not technically a stretching dvd. The voice-over instruction is very good and it is easy to follow. Overall I'm glad I bought it and I look forward to it every Saturday.DVD Review: HARD! HARD! HARD!
Summary: 3 Stars
I am very much in shape and this kicked my butt, which is great but I felt like you would need a trainer to do the moves correctly. The jury is still out on this video, may have to try it again.DVD Review: Decent but not pilates
Summary: 2 Stars
I was excited to give this a shot after reading all the glowing reviews on here but I was disappointed. Yes, some of the segments were challenging but the 10 minute segments seemed to drag on. Only a small section of it is similar traditional mat pilates, which is not what I was expecting (and perhaps that's why I was so displeased). I guess bottom line is I was expecting one thing based on the reviews here and I got another thing that I didn't find to be very exciting.DVD Review: Challenging and fulfilling workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I consider myself in good/great shape, and this workout was very challenging! If you are a beginner or do not have decent balance and core strength to start off with then this is not the DVD for you.
Otherwise, you can challenge yourself with each segment, and you will feel the results immediately. I feel great after this workout because I know it is making a real difference. It's amazing that such little movements can be so challenging! And the segment length is not too long so it is easier to push yourself harder.
Anyone have any recommendations for other workouts that would go along well with this one?
DVD Review: Love it!! Great for abs and lower back
Summary: 5 Stars
Due to knee problems, I have not tried the thighs and glutes routine, or the flat back/rounded back routine, but I have really enjoyed the three routines I have used:
Upper Body Core: This is a series of plank variations (forearm, full, pushup) and tricep dips followed by stretching. I have left off some of the reps for the push ups and tricep dips due to knee/hip problems, but have enjoyed this routine. About half of it is stretching, but I didn't have a problem with that.
Pure Core: I LOVE this segment. I was doing my own ab routines and was very bored with them. So, I've added this routine in three days a week. It is a lot more intense than basic crunches and I have noticed that my abs have tightened and become a lot stronger. I have posterior innominate rotation on my left and have found that this routine combined with other exercises I do has really helped stablize my Core. I also really like the challenge this segment provides - as you become more advanced you can rely less on keeping your hands on your thighs for support. This is my favorite segment.
Stretch Core: I also really, really like this segment. The stretch segment focuses mostly on the lower back, with some stretching of the hamstring and inner thigh. I have a combination of lower back and hip problems, and have found this stretching routine to be very helpful. This does not replace my basic lower body stretching routine that I do each day as it doesn't target everything, but if you have lower back problems I think this could be very helpful. I have been doing this stretch routine 3-4 days a week.
Description of Exhale: Core Fusion - Pilates Plus
"Exhale's Core Fusion will tone you from head to toe" --Prevention
A quarter of a million people have transformed their bodies at the exclusive Exhale Spa--now you can get these same results at home.
Named "Best Fusion Class" by New York magazine, this unique program is one of the quickest, most effective ways to get a thin, sleek physique. In five segments of 10 minutes each, the Pilates-based moves deliver washboard abs, perfectly sculpted arms and shoulders, and a tighter, higher backside-fast.
The secret to Core Fusion Pilates Plus is that it works from the inside out, integrating your core with every move. 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 you feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Core Fusion creators Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp have over 50 years' combined experience teaching Pilates, yoga, dance, and Tai Chi, disciplines that inform the Pilates Plus workout. They are founding team members of Exhale, a leading mind/body spa with locations around the country.
