Health knowledge made personal
 Don't expect to lie on your back during this workout and simply do sit-ups. Bob emphasizes the concept that we use our core in all movements. Therefore, it makes sense to do a large part of the workout standing. Not only is your core engaged, but stability muscles in your legs and arms are working and honing in on your balance is a premium.  Workout #1: 48 minutes (includes 2 minute warm-up and 3 minute cool-down) Weighted side crunches, windmills, side burpees, plank series, roll-backs and table tops are some of the movements covered. Your heart rate will be elevated and your core engaged. There are some seriously advanced movements in this routine, but one individual shows the modified version of each move. I consider myself a fit person, but I have neglected my core recently, so I was honestly struggling during this workout. However, the innovative, challenging exercises motivate me to continue to use this tool. Workout #2: 12 minutes (includes warm-up and cool-down) The general public doesn't always have time for +40 minutes of core work, so Totally Ripped Core offers a condensed but highly effective edition as well. Overall: The exercises are challenging but fun so I am motivated to continue and try to improve. I also appreciate working the core muscles on all planes, not just the horizontal plane (of core work's past). Additionally, you can easily navigate throughout workout #1 if you want to customize your own core routine or only have 20 minutes to work out on a particular day. How do you make a time to get your core work in? *Don't forget to enter my Family Fan Club clothing giveaway . Giveaway ends Tuesday, 9/27 at Midnight PST! |

timemotivation to work on your core. It is THE most important area of muscles to exercise as EVERY movement is connected to your core. However, many of us brush it aside because a) we'd rather run or b) it's hard.Bob Harper introduces two revolutionary core routines in his latest DVD, Totally Ripped Core .
