DVD Reviews of Gunnar Peterson's Core Secrets: Fun-Damentals
DVD Review: Fantastic Introduction To Stability Ball Work!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished this Core Secrets: FUNdamentals program for the first time and I am very impressed with it! I got this as part of the workout offered by Core secrets that has this workout along with "Give Me Twenty" (I actually purchased it via amazon marketplace). I wanted to review this specific program by itself while it was fresh in my mind.
The program starts with an introduction with Gunnar Peterson and Brooke Burke. They go over some basic things you need to know regarding the ball and what to expect from the upcoming workout. On the DVD this is chaptered separately from the main workout so that you don't need to watch the intro each time or have to forward through it.
The workout is made up of a warm up, 10 exercises (which cover the whole body from head to toe), and a short cool down.
The exercises in the main workout are:
1. Squat (holding the ball in front of you)
2. Triceps Extension (both arms at the same time while seated on the ball)
3. Shoulder Press (seated on the ball)
4. Crunch (lying across the ball)
5. Hamstring Press (lying on your back with you feet on the ball, you raise yourself up into a bridge position)
6. Seated Back Extension (seated on the ball, you bend over and then raise up using the back muscles).
7. Bent Over Rows (Seated on the ball)
8. Biceps Curls (seated on the ball)
9. Pushup (with your torso or legs on the ball depending on your level of strength)
10. Drape (you lie prone over the ball, very nice release)
Each exercise is first demonstrated by Brooke with Gunnar and Brooke giving you tips on proper form (each exercise is also chaptered separately).
I am an advanced exerciser (though still relatively new to stability ball work) and have used some other, more advanced Core Secrets workouts ("Accelerated Core Training" and "Full Body Challenge", both excellent programs). I wanted to get this program because I thought I'd pick up some extra tips about working with the stability ball. It was definitely worth getting because Gunnar is a world class personal trainer who has a gift for clear and concise instructions. He gives you plenty of information without overinstucting which makes it easy to incorporate what he's telling you.
The program is very well produced in a bright studio and simply filmed so that you can easily follow what is going on. I've had programs in the past that get too carried away with trying to be creative with the camera work in a way that makes it nearly impossible to follow the workout. This program is a pleasure to workout with.
FUNdamentals is definitely a very basic workout that I feel would be exceptional for someone brand new to exercise (or just returning after a long layoff) or great for someone who is an experienced exerciser but new to stability ball work.
I plan on using it as a warm up as well as a way to reinforce my technique with the ball. It's also great to use if you are low on energy or perhaps returning to working out after being sick since it covers the whole body and will stimulate the muscles without over taxing you.
HIGHLY recommended!!!!!
