Certified instructor description: Beautifully produced, exquisitely cued; this flowing workout is designed to develop lean muscles and healthy joint mobility. With Karen’s serene attitude and precise instruction, you’ll minimize wasted effort while concentrating on your core muscle groups — abs, back, buttocks, legs and arms. Varying the tempo and range of motion provides a deep/intense workout without heavy weights. It blends body-sculpting classics with graceful and fluid variations of those classics (e.g. pliés that flow into smooth plié/lunge combinations). One-on-one teaching on a peaceful set with light jazz/new age music. Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells and a weighted fitness ball (or just two balls). ©1999. DVD has:

| Karen Voight is the best. - posted by Dee on 1/31/2013 |

| Love it |
| Really needed a core workout and this hit's the target. BIG fan of Voight. Been using her videos for over ten years. Almost all of her classes are easy to learn, slow movements, and target all the spots women need help with. She's the boss! - posted by Deborah on 11/29/2012 |

| Love Karen Voight |
| Karen Voight knows how to structure an effective, safe workout. She starts with an excellent warm-up and then works muscles most women either forget about or have never worked. - posted by Karen on 11/1/2012 |

| Effective and creative total body sculpting in 40 minutes! |
| I've had this workout for years, and have recently "rediscovered" it in my collection. I'm surprised the rating isn't higher, its a fantastic routine. Wow, you just can't beat Karen Voight for form, precision, cueing and smooth transitions. Her instruction is so good, you can do the workout gracefully the first time and still get more and more out of the details of the workout on subsequent viewings. I do think it is misleading to use the term "Pilates" on the cover, it's really not Pilates. What it IS, is a fabulous 40 minute workout that works your entire body with interesting, flowing moves that builds strength using your own body weight (dynamic variations on lunges, squats, push-ups) and weighted balls. I love that I feel like every major muscle group gets worked in such an efficient time frame. One caveat - the abdominal work takes some focus and attention to "get." It helps if you have done some actual Pilates and know how to engage the abs by pulling the navel to the spine, so you have to make a couple of the ab mat moves work by activating the abdominals. Fun, thorough workout in a short time frame. Love it! - posted by Aimée on 3/28/2012 |

| Best ever by Karen |
| This video is my all time favorite. I've had it for years as a VHS tape and loved the combination of strength, yoga and cardio. I lost the tape by leaving it in a TV we donated so this gave me an opportunity to get the DVD. I have several of Karen's videos- she's fabulous. This just happens to be my favorite! - posted by Lisa on 12/8/2011 |

| Karen Voight's Core Fusion |
| I liked this workout because it incorporated weighted balls & weights for Palates movements. I felt like I had worked out when finished. What I didn't like, was the movement transition without enough time to set up, or enough explanation of the upcoming movement. I've been doing Karen Voight's workouts for years, and find this a common occurance in her workouts. - posted by Katie on 9/3/2011 |

| Very Slow. |
| I found this video to be below Karen usual standards! It's slow to get your 'temperature' up. And it's very BORING!!!! - posted by Daniel on 8/11/2011 |

| Good but.... |
| I've always been a huge fan of Karen Voight. I just feel that this work out fell short of my expectations. I should have ordered her straight forward Pilates workout. - posted by Island Girl/Staten Island on 4/14/2011 |

| Great alternative workout! 4.5 Stars |
| I did not expect to enjoy this workout, so I am happy to say I was pleasantly surprised! I am usually turned off by 'core' workouts (makes me think of crunches, crunches, crunches), this workout isn't like that at all, it's a 'full torso' workout that goes by very quickly. I love using the 3 lb. soft ball weights. My only negative, I didn't think the standing section was as well-cued as is typical for Karen, I found myself catching up on a few moves. I plan to work this one in every 10-14 days as an alternative to barbell weight routines. Thumbs Up! - posted by on 5/30/2007 |

| A KAREN CLASSIC |
| Am doing her videos for over 15 years and enjoy doing this one very often as the workout is both short and intense. - posted by Sara Goldenberg on 4/18/2007 |
