Gilad's Ultimate Body Sculpt Core & More |
  Gilad's Body Sculpting |
| I liked that the core workout also added some leg work to make it feel like it was a total lower body workout. I also noticed his counting is not always the same for different sides. I try to workout at least 5 days a week and I feel like the start of this one has a warm-up that is more aerobic, which makes it seem like a total workout. It's pretty much intermediate. - posted by Katie on 9/3/2011 |

| Wonderful Core Workout |
| IMHO, this is one of the best core workouts. I love Gilad -- his constant precise instruction and explanation of body mechanics are excellent and really helpful. He is also very sexy, which makes it more fun. After doing the workout a few times, I feel my middle getting stronger, very important for us as we get older. Beautiful beach setting too. Get this one and get stronger! - posted by Isabel on 8/6/2011 |

| Good but..... |
| Good workout but I think it should be labeled as beginner level. I was suprized when I was sore the next day but I think that's because I used a few muscles I haven't been using in other workouts. Gilad is by far my favorite instructor, but I think his 15 min ab workout in the Quick Fit System is more difficult than this one. He takes a lot of breaks in between sets and movements so it's like resting in the middle of it. - posted by Ashleigh on 5/3/2011 |

| Good to the core |
| Another good Gilad video. I always get a good workout from Gilad and this one is no exception. The only parts I didn't really like were the segments lying on your stomach and lifting head and/or arms. I never feel like I'm doing them right because I don't feel any effect, but that may be my incompetence. Apart from that one complaint, the video gets a thumbs up from me. - posted by Toni on 1/27/2011 |

| Annoying Music But Excellent Workout |
| I use Core & More in addition to his Quick-Fit Series for a total toning workout. As a result of using these tapes, at 49, I now have that little center-line abdominal definition. That's how I know it works! I like how Core & More uses moves that help me stretch which makes me feel a lot more energized when I'm done. Honestly, I enjoy fitness classes for the social aspect but as far as getting a good physical workout, I have never gotten a better workout than from his tapes. - posted by Debra on 6/16/2009 |

| Gilad is my new favorite |
| If you read Marla's review, from 8/2/2007, I would have to agree almost word for word. I also was working out 6 days a week until 2 weeks ago. I pulled my back, which radiated into my quadricep and into my knee. I have never injured myself like that, and I have a theory; I've been pushing myself with jarring movements, too fast reps and instructors who do not explain proper movement, and which muscles you need to be utilizing while keeping others dormant during a movement. At 47, I thought I had to work harder, and that usually means the dread factor, heavy sweating and soreness/stiffness most of the time. After using this workout, I enjoyed myself. I received thorough, thoughtful instruction with an established leader in fitness who knows what he's talking about (look at him). Gilad knows what works - yes, I may be sore tomorrow, but I now know that exercise can certainly be effective(and make sense)without struggling to get through it most of the time, and risking injury. - posted by Carolyn on 8/30/2008 |

| Pretty Good |
| Not much of a challenge. I would rate it more beg/inter. I am sure Gilad didn't get his abs by doing this type of a workout. Gilad also miscounts here and there, not doing equal amount of reps per side. It is good if you want something slow paced to change up your rotation every once in a while. - posted by Tami on 11/28/2007 |

| Really Boring |
| This is my first Gilad workout. I bought it with Cuts and Curves, which is much better. Core and More will probably give you results over time if you can stick with it. To me it is a low energy, slow-paced workout that drags. I am an advanced exerciser who prefers Cathe and Jari Love workouts. I was looking for a change of pace to shake things up but this is a disappointment and is going back. Save your money. - posted by Minnie on 8/30/2007 |

| good and user friendly |
| This workout is very good. I am in fairly good shape and after 1 workout my abs are somewhat sore. The only thing that I can't do is the roll up with the weight behind my head. A few of the pilates moves don't support the neck and today I have a sore neck. I need neck support so I just put one hand behind my head to do the routine. I still have to work on getting stronger in the abs because I cant do the straight leg rollup. I can't get up. But hopefully with time I will. If you are new to exercise just modify your own. Anything is better than just quitting. So go for it! - posted by Vicki on 8/22/2007 |

| Love this workout! One problem.... |
| This workout is tough and I love it. The only reason that it did not get 5 stars is because the video froze in the last 2 minutes of the workout and would not play the cool down at all. The Cuts and Curves workout had the exact same issue - I am waiting for my SECOND replacement now. In this hard of a work out you NEED the cooldown and the freezing is very annoying. - posted by Amy on 8/16/2007 |
