Time graph for Core Secrets Off the Ball

Gunnar Peterson’s unique “functional strength” exercises build the muscles you need for everyday activities (without ever using his usual stability ball). This very core-focused program features an exceptionally effective series of ab crunches (e.g. ten different foot positions that target the abs in varied ways without overstressing any one area). Throughout, you get Gunnar’s renown “no-fluff” cuing and careful focus on technique. He uses dumbbells and very large range-of-motion exercises to make “real life” tasks easier (e.g. his “uneven,” one-dumbbell move mimics real world lifting — often done one-handed). Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2005.

Good For the Middle

This is a good workout that is still "core". A refreshing change with interesting moves I haven't seen in other toning videos. The standing abdominal crunch is cool! - posted by Dawn on 8/11/2005

Interesting workout!

I found this workout to be refreshing and unique.Has a lot of moves that I think will really work the muscles we use everyday. I think beginners would like this too. I hope that Gunnar Peterson comes out with more interesting Dvd's in the future....I like his personality. Linda - posted by Linda on 7/15/2005

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
