Total Core Fitness: Stronger, Leaner, and Fitter to the Core

This book offers Pilates-style stretches and strengthening excercises including the stability ball. Each excercise is clearly explained and photos are used for proper posture through each phase. It's an excellent resource for people who work-out at home or as a supplement for those who attend a class.

Many books promote fitness programs and such programs wax and wane; but a core fitness program should be followed for life - and that's what Total Core Fitness: Stronger, Leaner, And Fitter To The Core advocates. This follows not a single structure but draws from regimens from yoga and Pilates to weight training to provide exercises that can be used at any age. The idea is to build and follow a quality program for life - and Total Core Fitness is designed to be this core program.

This book just made me go "wow!" this is because many so called "core training" books focus on one particular way of working the core.On the other hand, I was impressed by the different disciplines applied in this book....there are tai chi like exercises, yoga, and others from traditional weight training. My clients were impressed by the different exercises that I offered them.It made them feel that they were getting their dollar's worth. I've had balance issues with my right foot, I tried working my core using the techniques described in the book....and I must say that I was more balanced than before, I know I have a way to go, all the same i'm still happy about the progress i've made.I didn't say that I even feel more confident and relaxed, because of performing these exercises
