I just got the 3 DVD's Core Foundations, Functional Strength and Dynamic Strength Friday. I did the Core Foundations yesterday and I love love it. It works the core all through the workout, mostly on the ball with very unusual different moves. One standing move, you take a med ball and while doing a lunge, toss the ball to the opposite hand and rotate your body as in a spinal twist. Takes coordination, esp with an 8,10 or 12# ball. Whew!! I plan to try one of the other workouts tomorrow.
The set is like in the back of a truck/trailor, (?)but the moves in the workouts are different than what I'm used to. I'm thinking these will be a great addition to my workouts.
I preordered the next two DVD's that are filmed on the USS Yorktown, Core Cardio and Core Strength led by Tracie. Preorder and you get free shipping and a free band.
I emailed Tracie to inquire about these videos and see how different they are from other workouts. She was very kind and gracious to reply back. In essence, she says the workouts are intense using the med balls. They use 10-12# and move through all planes of motion and they work the core "ALOT".
The new to be release Core workout will use 2-6# med ball that will work on balance and rotation exercises and they will also do band training combined with jump training working the medial glutes that "are not targeted in tradional workouts".
My only sadness with the program is I can't get registered on her website. so far. But here is a link if you want to see a picture of Tracie doing the Core Cardio
www.justv.net/store/tlongdebut.php If you happen to get on her website, (I got in once) read her reasons for the new type of workout and what this new type of workout is all about. I thought it was so intriging and interesting that it made me want to see (and feel) for myself what it is all about.
