Editorial Review:
The perennially popular Yoga, Ballet, and Pilates all owe their success to what has become the latest buzzword in fitness: CORE STRENGTH. Core strength refers to the torso muscles from the glutes and abs to the back and neck those muscles that literally keep you standing tall, strong, and erect.
Athletes and dancers have always understood the importance of core strength; as our population ages everyone is beginning to herald workouts that concentrate on these all-essential muscle groups. After years of relying on yoga, pilates, ballet, and various combinations thereof to work these muscles, the fitness industry is now developing routines strictly for CORE STRENGTH.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great Book on Core Exercies
This book featuring wonderful core strengthening movements! A great companion book is Mary El-Baz's "Transform Your Core 6-Week Workbook."
Rating: - Buy It
Three levels of exercise are taught. The first level seemed a bit easy but it was a very good (and necessary) prep for second level.
The third level can be achived with a little time and effort. The program is not complicated and can be easily followed working out a couple of times a week.
Athletes as well as the deconditioned can use this well organized text and conditioning is focused on but not limited to "the core".
Rating: - Well organized, easy to use guide.
This book is a joy to use. Ms. Karter explains the concepts behind the workouts, then presents the exercises in a graded series of three levels. The pictures are clear and easy to follow. (There are a couple of places where the pictures are a little different than the written explanations; in that case I do what is shown in the pictures.) Each level has its own color code on the outer edge of the page, so you can open the book quickly to the appropriate level.
