Has anyone tried these? It's endorsed by Brooke Burke (model/actress/mother). Gunnar Peterson is the trainer to the stars and to NBA players (found that out yesterday) so i figured i can't lose with this... rite? LOL
It's a set of DVD's in which u use a stability ball for a total body workout. They also have additional videos (lower body; abs) which i purchased as well.

If you have this, What did you like about it?
Dislike?
How did you feel afterwards?
How often do you do it?
What is your fitness level - ie. beginner/intermediate/advanced?

TIA.

It comes with a 30 day money back guarantee (less the S&amp;H).

www.coresecrets.com (http://www.coresecrets.com)

49.90 plus 9.95 s&amp;h
the additional dvds (9.95 ea) plus 3.95 s&amp;h (but u have to do it over the phone b/c i didn't see anything on the website about any additional dvds). also, i went to fitness infomercials and one person said they didn't like it, wasn't enough repititions (at least she has that 30 day MB guarantee http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif )
but i think i'll like it, b/c of the stability ball. my core is out of whack http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif and i need to get it 2gether.

I think anything that works the core is awesome.

CaramelH, go to videofitness.com those girls have tried everything over there...

I personally think that pilates is the best for the core cause it makes you suck in and really work the muscles... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I was using these at the beginning of the month. I was doing the 1/2hr dvd 3x's per wk. I didn't lose any weight because I wasn't dieting like I should've been. I did feel a difference in my muscles. This set is very good.

I saw the infomercial too today and it went down from the original price 39.95 to 9.95 for 2 workouts ( which is probably a real basic one and the beginner workout) and the ball and pump....

Id check it out if someone gives a good review.....................................

Hi everyone!

I have the core workout program, and while I must say that it looks easy, its really not. I think its a great program IF you incorporate it with something aerobic like running or taebo and it only works if you eat well. I enjoy it, and I definately feel it after...

Sorry ya'll... hahaha
i stopped using it a while back but just restarted. One thing i will say is that ab routine is very good! you literally FEEL ur abs all day long! i've never actually done the other videos (I purchased 2 addt'l vidoes) but eventually i will 'test' it out. For 9.95... i say GET IT! if anything, you get to keep the free ball :)

I found this link today

http://www.coresecrets.com/

I tod a girl at my job about CS and she ordered this, it is an abbreviated version of the 39.95 one........ if you have never used a fitness ball then I think it would be good..... I think I may get it soon.........


Caramel..........what are the first 2 workouts like, is it a very basic run through then a more intense one?

as long as what you ordered is NOT $40 you should be straight. The infomercial specifically says it's $10 now.
The 2 videos that come with it are the fundamentals and the accelerated workout... i've never done them :spank: but i ordered the bun blast and the ab assault and those r pretty good (esp. the abs... i've done that moreso than anything else).

I bought the system and returned it for my money back and they allowed me to keep the ball and the 45-min accelerated tape. I tried the tape one day and it does nothing for me. They don't keep you moving like Taebo. It just didn't give me a good enough of a workout.

if these dvds r more than 9.95 then don't get them. The only one of the 4 that i have that i would spend more than $10 is the Ab Assault. It's absolutely amazing!

I love, love this cd. It is low impact but yet effective since activates the core. My body is much stronger due to core work. :)

I don't have the Core Secrets but you can do ANYTHING that you can do sitting in a chair, lying down on the floor or standing up on the ball. I have a ball and I do leg extensions while balancing, lunges with with dumbbells with one foot on the ball behind me, bench press lying on the ball with dumbbells, chest fly lying on the ball with dumbbells, bicep curls sitting with dumbbells, triceps behind the head with dumbbells sitting, pushups with legs on the ball and pushups with arms on the ball. All of these incorporate the core. I bought the ball some time ago and just now started using it with these exercises. Excellent.
